Saint Anthony of Padua

Born in Lisbon on August 15, 1195, Fernando di Buglione entered the monastery of San Vincenzo as a novice as soon as he was fifteen, in the community of the Regular Canons of Saint Augustine.

In 1219 he was ordained a priest when he was twenty-four.


In 1220 the bodies of five Franciscan friars who had died beheaded in Morocco, a country where they had gone to announce the Gospel on behalf of Francis of Assisi, arrived in Coimbra.

Requested and obtained permission from the Franciscan provincial of Spain and the Augustinian prior, Fernando entered the hermitage of the Minors, assuming the name Antonio.

When he was invited to the General Chapter of Assisi, he arrived there with other Franciscans and, at Santa Maria degli Angeli, he had the opportunity to attend a speech by Saint Francis, even if he was unable to meet him personally.


For about eighteen months he lived in the hermitage of Montepaolo, then, on behalf of San Francesco, he began to preach first in northern Italy and later in France.

In 1227 he assumed the role of provincial of northern Italy, continuing his preaching work.

On June 13, 1231, while he was in Camposampiero, he felt bad and asked to be able to return to Padua, the city where he wished to die, where he ceased to live in the Arcella monastery.
