'''St. Anthony of Padua''' (b. 1195, died 1231) was a simple and humble [[friar]] who preached the Good News lovingly and with fearless courage. The youth whom his fellow friars thought was uneducated became one of the great preachers and theologians of his day. He was a man of great penance and apostolic zeal. He is the Patron of the Poor and the Patron of Seekers of Lost Articles. St. Anthony is typically portrayed holding the child [[Jesus]]. [[Pope Pius XI]] made St. Anthony a [[Doctor of the Church]] in 1946. He is one of only 33 to receive the title.
