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.

Hello, my name is Chérie. I have a friend who entered the USA undocumented 30 years ago. He has worked very hard ever since, but remains completely trapped. He can't drive, can't travel, can't advance in his career although he's extremely intelligent, talented, and the most hardworking person I've ever known....Please pray that he accepts Jesus Christ as his Savior and shields himself with The Cross. Please pray for him to acquire the confidence, courage, strength, and willpower to overcome all of his adversaries and obstacles. Finally, I ask that you pray for the Holy Spirit to guide us back to each other as soon as possible so that we may live out our true love in peace, faith and Holy marriage. Thank you!
