📣 Special St. Anthony Novena Invitation – Tonight at 7:00 PM

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As part of our 9-Day Spiritual Preparation Novena for the Feast of St. Anthony, we warmly invite you and your family to join us in prayer this evening.

Today is a particularly special day. Thanks to Rev. Fr. Joe Selvanayagam, we are honored to welcome Rev. Fr. Mario Conte, a Franciscan priest from Padua, Italy, who will offer a special spiritual reflection during today's prayer service.

Fr. Mario has also brought with him a First-Class Relic of St. Anthony – a relic of the Saint's flesh. This is a rare and profound blessing for our community. During his reflection, Fr. Mario will share more about the relic, its significance, and his ministry in Padua, the home of St. Anthony.

His reflection will take place immediately after the Rosary and just before the Novena prayers, providing us with a unique opportunity to hear from a priest serving in the city where St. Anthony lived and is buried.

🙏 Today's Program (7:00 PM)
• Holy Rosary
• Special Reflection by Rev. Fr. Mario Conte (Padua, Italy)
• Presentation and Reflection on the First-Class Relic of St. Anthony
• St. Anthony Novena Prayers

We encourage everyone to gather with friends and family and join us online.
