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 pray for me. I'm struggling with sexual temptation and a recurring habit involving explicit illustrated content. I'm trying to overcome it because I want to grow closer to Jesus Christ and live a life of purity. I sometimes fall into the same cycle, and afterwards I struggle with guilt, shame and feeling distant from God. Please pray that God gives me a renewed heart, genuine repentance, strength to resist temptation, and the grace to keep returning to Him rather than falling into despair. Please also pray for my relationship, that I may love my girlfriend faithfully, with honesty, purity and selflessness. I don't want to give up on my walk with Christ. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
