Our Patron
The Life of our Patron, Saint Anthony the Great
Saint Anthony the Great, also known as "the Father of Monasticism," was born in Egypt around the year 251 AD. At the age of twenty, after hearing the Gospel read in church about selling one's possessions and following Christ, he gave away all his inheritance and went to live an ascetic life in the desert.
St. Anthony spent years in solitude, prayer, and spiritual warfare against demonic temptations. He became famous for his holiness and wisdom, and many sought his counsel. He eventually founded a form of monasticism that would influence Christian spirituality for centuries to come.
St. Anthony reposed in the Lord around 356 AD at the age of 105. His feast day is celebrated on January 17th.
