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 humbly pray that Jesus heals my son’s mental health concerns. Help us find the right professionals who will be able to assist him in this extraordinary time of crisis. Lord, please illuminate his mind to see things more clearly so he is safe at school, community and at home. Put in our path people who are competent and truly caring to help him. Help the school be compassionate and helpful. In Jesus’s name. Amen.
