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.

For my family, friends & special intentions. Prayers for continued healing, recovery & good health for my brother, sisters & myself. Deliverance from this toxic work environment & its people to one that is a good fit for the talents I have been blessed with. Prayers for the right new job. To obtain the resources I need to bring everything together & keep it together. To obtain the resources I need to buy my family home outright & offer my siblings their share. To live a good long, happy, healthy, prosperous & safe Catholic life there. To live well, but within my/our means & by the Lord's will to perhaps share a true love with a good woman at this later time in my life. Thank You for everything Lord. Amen
