The novena to St. Anthony of Padua begins on Saturday 5th June.
Though St. Anthony first joined the Augustinian Order, he eventually left it when he was 26 years old and joined the Franciscan Order around 1220 in the hopes of becoming a martyr for his faith. Through his work in Padua in Italy, he became a loved and admired Saint in the Catholic Church, sharing the faith through simplicity — which led to him becoming a Doctor of the Church. St. Anthony’s Feast Day is traditionally celebrated on June 13th, but you can pray a novena to him any time. He is often invoked for helping to recover lost items, among other intentions.
