The Church of St. Anthony of Padua – Għajn Dwieli
In 1953, the Capuchins opened a small chapel in Għajn Dwieli, but it wasn’t long before they began planning to build a large church, which was completed in 1965. It is dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua, and weddings can be celebrated there.

Saint Anthony of Padua

Anthony was born and raised by a wealthy family in Lisbon, Portugal, and died in Padua, Italy. Noted by his contemporaries for his powerful preaching, expert knowledge of scripture, and undying love and devotion to the poor and the sick, he was one of the most quickly canonized saints in church history, being canonized less than a year after his death.
He was proclaimed a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII on 16 January 1946.
