St. Anthony Project

I graduated from a wonderful, Franciscan University called Quincy College (now called Quincy University). On the campus, there was a men's dormitory named Padua Hall after our project's patron, St. Anthony of Padua. St. Anthony is the Franciscan order’s  second most well-known saint, following St. Francis of Assisi. On a visit to my Alma Mater in the days following the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade towers, there was this beautiful banner displayed on the outside of Padua Hall. It was an image of St. Francis of Assisi, bearing the words PAX et BONUM....PEACE and GOODWILL..... It was a powerful reminder of what/ who we are all called to be in this world- peace keepers and people of goodwill......
