As countries struggle against the pandemic, various security measures are being taken. In Italy, Masses cannot be celebrated with the faithful for the next few days in order to avoid gatherings.
Our Saints Francis and Anthony continue to work nevertheless. The friars have been asking for their intercession and praying at their tombs. Those who would like pray with the confreres may join them online for various Masses. Here’s how:
