Kolkata: A First-class Relic (a part of the Saint’s body) of Saint Anthony of Padua is now permanently housed at St. Anthony’s Shrine/St. Joseph’s Chapel.
The Holy relic was solemnly blessed and installed on 13 June 2019, the Feast Day of St. Anthony of Padua, at a solemn and moving Eucharistic celebration presided over by Rev. Fr. Dominic Gomes, the Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Calcutta, in the presence of hundreds of devotees who had flocked the shrine from all over Kolkata.
This historic shrine is the only shrine in the city to house a First-class Relic of St. Anthony of Padua, the Wonder Worker. The 156 year old shrine is known for its miracles and spiritual powers and divine assistance by the powerful intercession of St. Anthony and it attracts hundreds of devotees from all faiths and walks of life throughout the year.
“The Holy Relic which is permanently installed at the shrine for the sake of the devotees will certainly boost the already existing devotion of people to St. Anthony and deepen our faith in God,” says Mrs. Maya D’Souza, one of the regular visitors to the shrine.
