My Dear Friend,

Thank you for visiting the Franciscan Friars and the Companions of St. Anthony. We hope you will further your visit and join us in this ministry.

Under the patronage of St. Anthony of Padua and in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi, our friars have a particular mission to work with the poor and the lost. Through our vow of poverty we try to model our lives after these two great Franciscan saints. Because of this commitment, we rely on God's providence through the support of individual's like you – people who want to help us continue the Lord's work and keep the spirit of St. Anthony alive today.

…$35.00 will help pay for a friar-seminarian's textbook …or what a blessing $100.00 would be in helping provide care for our sick and elderly friars	…$50.00 will help buy a "care package" of needed medicines for sick children in our missions
…or whatever your means allow

How very grateful we are for whatever assistance your heart can give! Down through the centuries, St. Anthony of Padua has shown his powerful intercession to Jesus on behalf of those who experience "loss" in their lives. Not only has he helped people find treasured objects, but St. Anthony helps find deeper spiritual treasures – lost inner peace, lost hope, lost faith….

I want you to share in the wonder and glory of this powerful Franciscan, St. Anthony. As a sign of our appreciation for your support, I will be happy to send you a complimentary copy of our Companion Prayers prayer book for your generous gift. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Your Companion in St. Anthony,


Fr. Martin Kobos, OFM Conv.
Director of Development
