Max and his family enjoyed visiting the friars and taking part in the 2016 Egg Hunt fun. He was really excited when he saw the outdoor Shrine of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe, OFM Conv. He ran up to his patron saint’s statue saying, “That’s me! That’s Max!” Now eight, Max and his family still enjoy their visits.

On Saturday, April 16, 2022, 10:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., all are encouraged to join our friars, staff, volunteers and pilgrims of The Shrine of St. Anthony, in Ellicott City, MD, for the Annual Holy Saturday Easter Egg Hunt.  Bring your own baskets, blankets, and lawn games to enjoy a picnic lunch after the hunt is over.  You can bring your own food or purchase lunch from the Plating Grace and Grub Food Truck (International Comfort Food Menu); a mobile food ministry, founded by Fr. Leo Patalinghug as an extension of a collaborative effort by The Franciscan Center of Baltimore. The Franciscan Center is the main recipient of the produce grown in our Little Portion Farm ministry, also located on the grounds of The Shrine. Be sure to check out all of the sites on the property, while you are there.
