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'm still praying for that new home St. Anthony. I cannot do it without you. I need your help please. Please find me a new home where I will be happy, content and that's also a beautiful little home that's a pleasure to live in. I'm unhappy here and you know I've been unhappy since the day I made a terrible mistake and moved here. Praying for a miracle St. Anthony. Praying that God will bless that new home. Thank you.
