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 let me finish a few art pieces to display. If I could even sell one, it would help. Today I’m hoping to get to church. I’d love it if J could pick me up. I’m also asking for prayers for my Aunt Judy, that she makes a complete recovery. Lastly I am also asking for prayers to complete some of my writing. Thank you all!

God bless you. I ask with all my heart for prayers for the healing of my sprained leg and for strength to work. I also ask for prayers regarding an official matter with my employer .My employer refuses to pay me certain funds that are rightfully mine. Please pray for the healing of my father, John, and for guidance in his medical treatment. I also ask for prayers for the soul of my mother, Jane, my godmother, Jolanta; and all the deceased members of my family. May God reward you. Grace
