Relics of St Anthony to visit Ireland and the UK in October

The Relics of St. Anthony of Padua, one of the most popular Saints, will visit Dublin, Wexford, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Belfast between 17 and 24 October.

Padua-based Franciscan Conventual friar, Fr Mario Conte, announced on Tuesday that the relic tour would take in Dublin, Wexford, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Belfast in Ireland between 17 and 24 October.

Fr Conte, who is editor of The Messenger of St Anthony magazine, will accompany the two relics – a small piece of petrified flesh and layers of cheek skin of the Saint on their journey around Ireland and the UK.

A number of Irish bishops will participate in hosting ceremonies relating to the relics.

The Relics of St. Anthony of Padua will arrive in Dublin on 17 October at the parish of the Franciscan Conventual friars in Fairview in Dublin, and the Papal Nuncio, Archbishop Charles Brown and Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin will lead a ceremony of welcome and Mass.
