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.

O holy St. Anthony, gentlest of saints, your love for God and charity made you worthy, when on earth, to possess miraculous powers. Miracles followed your word, which you were ever ready to speak for those in trouble or need. Encouraged by this thought, I implore you to grant also my request: May the newly elected chair of the TCHC , Bill P be caught and called out for his outrageous lies, cheating and continued deceptiveness - particularly for lying to the media and new commissioners about having served on the TCHC for 10 years when it was only barely over 5 years. Let him be remorseful for his continuous stolen honor and for claiming false credit for the work done of others. Let the judge who only recently appointed have his own problems and go away. Let all members of the TCHC now be unified and work together in harmony in 2026 but let Bill's lies soon be corrected in print. The answer to my prayer may require a miracle; even so, you are the Saint of Miracles!

Dear St Anthony please intercede and pray that doors are opening wide for me today and pray that much-needed life-changing financial blessings are pouring into my life today. Pray that every demonic assault and every snare from the enemies is returning to the senders now and pray that every penny I spent, lost or was caused to lose by the enemies is returning to me multiplied now. Amen

St. Anthony please protect me and my child from all evil. Don't let anyone or anything cause arguments and coldness between us. Let us be always close. Protect us from my ex friend who is a very jealous, very wicked person and consistently comes by my home. Protect us from all those other wicked people. St. Anthony thank you.
