Florette will visit four dioceses in the tri-state area -- the New York Archdiocese, the Brooklyn/Queens Diocese, the Paterson, N.J. Diocese and the Bridgeport Diocese.

Saint Anthony of Padua, in the form of a holy relic, will be in Northeast America from June 6 to June 14. The holy relic tour will be June 6 and June 7 at St Charles Borromeo, 391 Ogden St., Bridgeport.

Last year, the relics awed and inspired thousands of Catholics in America. Devotion to Saint Anthony is an accepted part of life for many people in the region but an encounter with the relic moves it to the forefront.

The Feast of Saint Anthony of Padua is June 13.
