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.

Prayer for my family O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, you are known for your love for God and for your miraculous powers. As a protector of families, I humbly ask for your intercession before God for all my loved ones. I thank you for all the blessings you have helped secure for our family throughout the years. I am grateful for the AU visa granted to my daughter, the correct diagnosis for my wife, and the help in finding a new rental house for my daughter. Now, I bring these new petitions to you, and I ask that you whisper them into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus: • For my daughter who is suffering from PCOD and irregular periods, I pray for your kind intercession for her speedy recovery and for her periods to become regular. • For my second daughter, I pray that you help her to become a good person, to do well in her studies, and to excel in her exams. • For good health for all members of my family. • For peace to all in my family.
