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.

Myself and my colleagues are facing a serious issue. Our previous Manager has misguided a customer for opening a deposit in a particular scheme without informing him the features. Now the deposit got matured and customer given complaint against us in different forums. As on the date of opening it the Manager was on leave, now all blame on us only. Kindly remember us in your prayers

I pray that God grants my daughter the grace, courage, wisdom, and understanding to navigate her journey at the Federal Government Technical College. May she grow with discipline, good morals, humility, and determination she needs to build a solid foundation for her future. May she grow in knowledge, character, and confidence, make the right choices, and become a source of pride to God, her family, and society. May God's guidance and protection remain with her throughout this important stage of her life. Amen.

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.

Heavenly Father the wickedness, hate and evil is escalating in this world. I pray that those who only know evil and destruction will soften their souls and repent for their sins so you can heal our land, our communities and our families. In your Holy name I pray. Amen. "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." — 2 Chronicles 7:14
