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.

Saint Anthony, our patron saint of miracle, please intercede on behalf of myself and my loved ones, safeguarding us from evil Strengthen us through our trials and challenges—whether related to addiction, employment difficulties, self-esteem issues, or financial struggles. Protect us from offending our Lord, drawing us closer to Him and to our Heavenly Mother. Please bless all those who have asked for my prayers and those I have promised to pray for, granting them everything that is good and beneficial according to God's divine plan. Guide our youth toward our Lord and Our Heavenly Mother, helping them to recognize their love. Protect them from negative influences, especially those I know personally. Pray for the souls in purgatory. May they find eternal peace and rejoice forever in the presence of our Lord, Our Heavenly Mother, and you, Saint Anthony, along with all the saints in heaven. Especially the ones on my list.
