Dear M&G Montreal, in many countries he is the patron of finding a marriage partner too. He is most famous for his preaching and his work on behalf of the poor. It is not an accident that it is called St. Anthony's Kitchen. Today I have the baptism of little twin girls here at Mary Gate of Heaven. They are from Brasil (the family is gatheringin Negril for a wedding) and the girls were born on St. Anthony's Feast. Nice co-incidence. Peace and all good! --Fr. Jim
