Bishop Peter Paul Saldanha in his homily said, “St Anthony of Padua is an ardent preacher of the Word of God and model for all of us to proclaim the same Word of God to others.
Bishop said that through the Word of God, he drew many souls to Jesus. By proclaiming the Word of God through his words and deeds, he brought life and hope to the distressed ones.
