St. Anthony of Padua

St. 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.

The Shrine

“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.

About the 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.

Please intercede that my beloved who has cut me out of his life for 2 months return immediately to restore and reconcile. That we both choose to bind to each other again by unbinding from all others. That he remember me and come back to our long relationship. I am heartbroken voiceless and helpless. My only strength is God. So scared.

Please pray for my young adult nephew J who likely has a severe mental illness and is refusing to seek or accept help. Ask God to remove the mental barriers preventing him from seeking and accepting help. Ask God to lead him to good doctors. Ask God to put a veil of protection all around him and continue to keep him close to the Church.
