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 protect me and my child from all evil. Protect us from those who enjoy when we argue. Protect us from all those wicked people. Please St. Anthony let me and my child be close always, do things together and speak with and see each other frequently. Let my child ignore those who try to make us argue and who don't want us to get along. Let my child love me and want me around. Pray for us St. Anthony. Please let my child want to be around me. Praying for God's blessings and protection for me and my child. Thank you.

Praying for a stunningly beautiful home where I'll be very, very happy. St. Anthony I've been praying so long to get out of this apartment I'm in that I never wanted. I was manipulated and tricked to leave my beautiful home that I was so happy in and that I believe was blessed. Please bring me a home very soon St. Anthony. If it's from God then it should come to me easily. Please intercede for me St. Anthony. I'm absolutely unhappy in this apartment I never wanted. Please help me to be happy in a home I love.
