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.

Sweet St. Anthony- please allow both my and my husband's long term care insurance coverage to be approved. Previously it was denied due to a health concern that is no longer an issue but I had to wait until cleared by my doctor. I made the mistake of calling the advice nurse about a recent mild illness to get reassurance on how to return to work. Now that is on my record and I am doing a lot better now. I am grateful and will be forever indebted for your intercession in helping us obtain this much needed long term care insurance as we are planning out our future elderly years. We do not have anyone else to care for us as we age so we will need this much needed insurance. Soften their hearts and have them understand that certain illnesses are contracted yearly but pose no threat to us. May our rates stay affordable and may we get the coverage we need. In Jesus's name. Amen.
