DonateSt. 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.

“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.

I am reaching out to humbly request your most urgent and powerful intercessions for a newborn baby boy, Mevrick , who is only 24 days old. He is currently in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) battling several severe medical complications. Mevrick has been confirmed with Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome). His tiny body is currently struggling with: Heart & Lungs: A large hole in his heart and fluid in his lungs. Internal Organs: A liver hemangioma and a kidney cyst. Other Complications: Low blood platelets, one less pair of ribs, tongue-tie, and a lack of facial expression. Please also pray for the child in my womb may this baby be blessed and safe through the full pregnancy.
May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most mysterious and unutterable Name of God be always praised, blessed, loved, adored and glorified in heaven on earth and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most Holy Sacrament of the altar.
Greetings. I thank God that God is helping me tru my business and its doing well. S...May God lift me up infront of my enemies in Jesus name. May 2026 be year of mine and my family.
Please pray for healing for my mother, Rose. If her heart is well we can take a quick trip to the beach!
Saint Anthony, patron of miracles, I humbly seek your intercession. Please help my daughter and her boyfriend steer clear of wrongdoing... Assist my sister in finding happiness. Support those I said I would praying for, help them find solutions, and watch over those who have no one praying for them. Protect the youth, especially those I know, and help them experience the love of Jesus. Pray for all souls in purgatory, especially those on my list, and pray that they may attain eternal life. Finally, help me overcome my financial struggles—paying off debts, repairing what is needed, and improving my situation. Grant me the chance to undertake a pilgrimage.
I am desperate for healing from the depression, anxiety, and loneliness that has taken over my life for several years. Please pray for God to help me. I am in unbearable pain.
Please pray that God will guide to make the right choices in a long-term relationship I have been in.
Please pray for me. I am struggling a lot. I resigned from my job as a Critical Care Medical Officer. I am a 29-year-old with only an MBBS degree and 28 months of experience in critical care. I resigned because I do not have a postgraduate degree, my salary was too low to pay my education loan EMI, and my working hours were more than 70 hours a week. I am also not married. I have now become a burden to my family, and they are showing it in every possible way. My life is full of pain and misery. I truly don’t know what to do. Please pray for me, only God can help me. The only thread that keeps me alive is my faith. I am planning to prepare for the PG entrance exam, but I do not have money to study for the entrance, nor do I have money for further education. ... I really don’t know what to do. Please pray for me. Only God can save me. Honey Rose J.
