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.

Please St. Anthony please get me out of this apartment. Please let me move to a very blessed new home that's blessed like the home I was manipulated and tricked into leaving. I hate it here. It reminds me of all those things that were taken and destroyed in my life since I moved here. Help me please. And please ask God for COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESTORATION. Thank you St. Anthony.

i want to pray for my best friend, glowin, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 18 years old. by God’s grace she made a complete recovery, but one month back, she fell sick again and scans revealed that there was a tumor growing in her lungs. she is in a lot of pain and is too sick to talk or do basic things that she used to love. i pray for God to heal her and ease her suffering and to give her family strength to support her during these difficult times. thank you so much for any prayers that have been made in her name. God bless.

Please pray for healing of my daughter Aurelle who has been suffering from severe allergies and asthma since birth. She is now 16 and rarely has a break from her symptoms. Please help her Lord, heal her, so she can live a normal, healthy life. No medicine seems to touch her condition. Have mercy on her Lord. Mama Mary please pray for her.
