Saint Anthony
St. Anthony was canonized by Pope Gregory IX on 30 May 1232, at Spoleto Italy, less than one year after his death. The richness of spiritual teaching contained in the Sermons was so great that in January 16th, 1946 Venerable Pope Pius XII proclaimed Anthony a Doctor of the Church, attributing to him the title Doctor Evangelicus - Evangelical Doctor, since the freshness and beauty of the Gospel emerge from these writings.Anthony's fame spread through Portuguese evangelization, and he has been known as the most celebrated of the followers of Saint Francis of Assisi. He is the patron saint of Padua and many places in Portugal and in the countries of the former Portuguese Empire.
He is especially invoked and venerated all over the world as the patron saint for the recovery of lost items, and is credited with many miracles involving lost people, lost things and even lost spiritual goods.
