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.

I'm still praying for a new home St. Anthony. I cannot do it without you. I need your help please. Please intercede with God, and find me a new home where I will be happy, content and that's also a beautiful home that's a pleasure to live in. PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE. PLEASE. I'm unhappy here and you know I've been unhappy since the day I made a terrible mistake and moved here. I never wanted to live here. Praying for a miracle St. Anthony. Praying that God will bless that new home. St. Anthony please intercede for me and ask God to bring me that home I've been praying so long for, so many years. This apartment is like a nightmare that just doesn't want to let go. Please help me break free of this apartment that I've experienced so much unhappiness in, an apartment that has taken so much from my life and an apartment I was tricked and manipulated to move to. I never wanted to live here . Thank you St. Anthony. Thank you God. In Jesus's name I pray.

Please pray that our four sons marry good, holy Catholic women and have good, holy Catholic families. Cast out evil spirits attacking our sons, especially our youngest son. In our Divine Savior's name, JESUS CHRIST, satan be gone. May the Holy Spirit shower our family with peace, joy, hope, love, understanding, empathy, and forgiveness. God bless Michael, Anthony, Dominic, and Leo. Help them get good jobs. Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Consolation, Our Lady of Champion, pray for us. Renew our relatives, strengthen their faith. Thank you, Jesus.

Please pray for me that my test results will be normal or not serious with little treatment needed and no cancer found. St Anthony answered my prayers 32 years ago when I had breast cancer. Thank God I am still here. Thank you.

Please pray for me against dream attacks. I have had this issue on and off for the last 4 years. I have quit my job abroad due to it, came back to my country and the issue is still following me. The dreams are becoming worse. I have fasted, prayed, renounced & separated myself from anything that involves witchcraft in my family and ancestry. I got some relief but I need total deliverance. For two nights now, the attacks have intensified. I have been deeply praying at night over this issue for about one week now, and am exhausted. I need help. Please pray for me. Thanks

Please pray for our daughter Isabella as she finishes her junior year in college. We ask for Divine guidance in her studies and that she reaches her goals. We ask that she finds the right people who are good for her life. And that she finds/lands upon the right roommate situation for her senior year. May she find joy and success in her final year and a half of school as she is protected by Jesus and St. Anthony. Thank you

Saint Anthony, our patron saint of miracle, please intercede on behalf of myself and my loved ones, safeguarding us from evil Strengthen us through our trials and challenges—whether related to addiction, employment difficulties, self-esteem issues, or financial struggles. Protect us from offending our Lord, drawing us closer to Him and to our Heavenly Mother. Please bless all those who have asked for my prayers and those I have promised to pray for, granting them everything that is good and beneficial according to God's divine plan. Guide our youth toward our Lord and Our Heavenly Mother, helping them to recognize their love. Protect them from negative influences, especially those I know personally. Pray for the souls in purgatory. May they find eternal peace and rejoice forever in the presence of our Lord, Our Heavenly Mother, and you, Saint Anthony, along with all the saints in heaven. Especially the ones on my list.
