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.

I am the victim of a terrible crime and have lost everything. I am terrified, but I have faith. I had to flee for my safety, and while doing so. Another driver was not paying attention and crashed into me, causing me terrible injuries. I am having to fight for justice in both areas. I need prayers for my safety and healing. I need prayers to find the right attorneys who will fight for me in both situations. I am doing this by myself and I could use prayers for God to send the right people into my life to help me advocate. I could also use prayers for financial blessings and security amidst this. As I also hope at the end of all of this to meet the right person and to have a family, and to live a beautiful life. Thank you so much. God bless you.
