What is The St. Anthony Shrine Society?
 
 
The Shrine Society was formed in 1928 as society dedicated to maintaining the Shrine and furthering devotion to St. Anthony. Today the Shrine Society is an association that supports the work of the Franciscans, especially among the poor.
Members of the Shrine Society are:
  • Remembered in daily Masses and prayers of the friars.
  • Remembered each Tuesday at the Shrine Mass honoring St. Anthony.
  • Listed in the St. Anthony Shrine Society Register which is maintained at the Shrine.
A statue of St. Anthony is offered for any gift of $35.00 or more to the Shrine Society.
“We adore you, O Lord, here and in all the churches throughout the whole world, and we bless you because by your holy cross you have redeemed the world.”
—Adoramus Te, daily prayer of the Franciscans
