What is St. Anthony Bread?
Fr. John Bok, OFM, blesses the St. Anthony Bread at the Shrine with Br. Roger Lopez assisting.
St. Anthony Bread is a term used for offerings made in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony. Sometimes the alms are given for the education of priests. In some places, parents also make a gift for the poor after placing a newborn child under the protection of St. Anthony. It is a practice in some churches to bless small loaves of bread on the Feast of St. Anthony and give them to those who want them.
