Since 1961, Franciscan Mission Associates (FMA) has brought the ministry of St. Francis to people’s daily lives through a two-fold undertaking of providing spiritual and financial support.
We fundraise for the missions, ministries, and friars of the Immaculate Conception (IC) Province of the Franciscan Friars. And, we provide devotional service to our benefactors and supporters.

Prayer to St. Anthony
O Holy St. Anthony,
Gentlest of Saints, your love for God and charity for His creatures made you worthy, while on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to obtain for me [your request].
O gentle and loving St. Anthony, whose heart was ever full of human sympathy, whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet infant Jesus, who loved to be folded in your arms, and the gratitude of my heart will ever be yours.
Amen.

St Anthony
Feast Day – June 13
St. Anthony of Padua was born 15 August 1195 in Portugal.
At the age of 15, Anthony was received into the Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross at the Abbey of Saint Vincent on the outskirts of Lisbon. Wishing for greater opportunity to focus on his religious studies, he soon asked to be transferred to the Monastery of the Holy Cross in Coimbra, then the capital of Portugal, where he studied theology and Latin.
