The Companions of St. Anthony is a ministry of the St. Anthony of Padua Province of the Conventual Franciscan Friars. We are the friars and their friends, who share a common bond inspired by the life and values of St. Anthony of Padua.
Together we give glory to God through living the values which were so dear to St. Anthony: Love for the Eucharist; knowledge of Scripture; reconciliation and penance as part of the Christian journey; prayer; devotion to Mary, the Mother of God; and opportunities for Christian giving.
