Anthony’s dad died when he was very little, so growing up it was just him and his mom and they were very close. Anthony loved helping people that were sick and poor and so his mother thought that he would make a good doctor. Anthony became a doctor and started helping lots of people. Even though Anthony liked being a doctor and helping people, he loved God so much that he wanted to be a priest. After becoming a priest, he still kept helping people and he started an order of priests called the Clerks Regular of St. Paul. He also started an order of sisters called the Angelics of St. Paul. Anthony loved St. Paul and studied the letters that he wrote a lot because they brought him closer to God. He and his priests taught people about the teachings in Paul’s letters in simple ways so that they could understand and grow closer to God. Anthony got sick while spreading the Good News of God to many people; he never stopped sharing about how much God loves us.
