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.

🙏 Prayer for My Heavy Period Dear Heavenly Father, I come to You today with a worried heart. Lord, You know what I am going through and how anxious I feel about my heavy period. I ask You to please touch my body with Your healing hands and help my bleeding become normal. Please guide my hormones and reproductive health, and let my body recover and regain its balance. Calm my fears, ease my cramps, and give me strength while I go through this difficult time. Lord, please protect my womb and my future dreams of becoming a mother. Take away my worries and replace them with peace, hope, and faith. Give wisdom to my doctor so they can guide me toward the right treatment. I surrender my fears to You, Lord. Help me remember that I am not alone, even when I feel scared. Please watch over me tonight and let me rest peacefully. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. 🤍
