    With due deference to St. Anthony, one of Roman Catholics exalted saints, I understand that therw are several Saints whose names are St. Anthony. I was born on the feast of one of them, and was named after him. He is accordingly my patron saint. My heartiest congratulations to all the devotees and the priestly dignitaries who celebrate this feast. Would some one explain why the church at Dornhalli is world famous?

    "The specialty of this place/church: A world famous church which is less traveled, lesser known to people & yet famous... It’s called as St Antony's church located Dornalli, It is believed that if you go to this place & pray for anything that you have lost in life it can be money, wealth, property, things, good life, job, health, and people gone away from you, just anything if you deserve it you will get those things or people back. Every year on June 13th a big feast is held to observe the St Antony's feast, the church is surrounded by complete green, gives a pleasant feeling & a calmness up until we leave that place, The history says that a farmer while tilling the land found the statue of St Antony’s' there & after that a big change happened in his life, people go there to offerings to get the things or for peace back in their life which they have lost."
