Help us continue to serve the poor and needy, our men in formation, and our retired & infirm friars.
DonateSt. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms.
“Mt. Airy” is the familiar name for the National Shrine of St. Anthony and Friary sitting on a hill above Cincinnati. The shrine had its start in the late 1880s, when Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre bought what was then a country estate for $18,000 and gave it to the Franciscan friars.
The 130 friars of St. John the Baptist Province (SJB) are members of the Order of Friars Minor. We are a Franciscan brotherhood inspired by the 13th-century example of St. Francis of Assisi. We serve the Catholic Church as brothers and priests in a communal life of poverty, prayer, and service to others.
I pray that my daughter and son in law will not be affected by any RIF. I pray their jobs will be secure.
Dear Lord Jesus St Anthony have pity on us ...

...my mum has trust issues with people, generally speaking. Hope all goes well with the fence issue.... it seems the littlest thing bothers my mum. My mum wants to get a new computer as one computer has connection issues, and the other has some issues, minor (mostly) in comparison, but it is old. My dad has health issues, but also recently got diagnosed with a genetic heart condition that I hope he survives and gets better. My dad needs to wear some medical equipment and hope nothing happens to it. Also, (September 30th) today, we just arrived at a smaller city, to try to get an older house fixed and rented out, but a contractor barely did anything at the old house...I also just hope that the internet doesn’t stop working again, as my family is in a place where the internet isn’t the best.
Please pray for my wife for good health. There was a reading of ca125 which was high and we are planning to re-teat it on 6th or 7th oct again. Please pray for the results to come out normal and she have absolute good health for the rest of her life.
