The event attracts many participants each year.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s event had around two thousand young participants. Their journey started at the Parish Church of St. Anthony in Sesvetska Sela, a municipality adjacent to Zagreb. It concluded at the Conventual Franciscan Parish Church of St. Anthony in Zagreb. The first St. Anthony church is a diocesan parish. The second belongs to our confreres from the Province of St. Jerome in Croatia. These are among the largest parishes in the territory of the Archdiocese of Zagreb. The event was organized by the Vocation Center of the Province of Croatia, in collaboration with the two abovementioned parishes.<br \/>\nThe purpose of the event was to bring together young people who pray to St. Anthony and to collaborate with two important parishes that bear the name of the saint. Speaking on behalf of the organizers, Friar Stjepan BR\u010cINA said that this year\u2019s \u201cWay\u201d was attended not only by young people from Zagreb but from many other places in Croatia. There were even groups from Austria and Germany. \u201cYoung people are interested in the life of the St. Anthony. Like him, they are motivated to give witness to the faith with enthusiasm, showing that the Church is alive and attractive, even to new generations.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Way began with Mass, presided over by the Minister Provincial, Friar Josip BLA\u017dEVI\u0106. In his homily Friar Josip said that the young people are putting this year\u2019s slogan into practice: \u201cLet your actions speak louder than words.\u201d As he talked about the challenges St. Anthony encountered in his life, Friar Josip encouraged the young people to accept life\u2019s challenges by placing themselves in God\u2019s hands, without complaint, and by following the plans of His Providence.<br \/>\nThe journey ended with the veneration of the Saint\u2019s relics and Eucharistic Adoration at our Parish Church of St. Anthony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Friar Zvonimir PERVAN<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday June 5, 2021, in anticipation of the feast of St. Anthony of Padua, the third annual \u201cAntonian Way of the Young\u201d event was held in Zagreb, Croatia.
