Also known a Santo António de Lisboa (Saint Anthony of Lisbon).

He's the one Catholics pray to find lost objects, no?

I had no idea about it, but apparently that's what the web says.

I was raised Catholic but am not a follower anymore, I wasn't sure if there were more than one St. Anthony and you sounded like you had a better handle on if he was the one my mom would tell me to ask for his help :)

We kind of have Catholicism embedded into the portuguese culture, even if you are not religious, and you hear about St. Anthony at least twice every year when in Lisbon they celebrate the St. Anthony's weddings or his festival in June.
