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.

My family returned home recently, and my mum Glenda wants to go out of town again; but they are parcels coming, I hope her parcel arrives after mine does. She ordered shoes. I ordered seasonal food that maybe temperature sensitive. We live in Canada. She can be very controlling and threatening things. She has online jobs, that she needs my help with which doesn’t help matters. She wants to leave so soon, as my dad Al may have an appointment; which I hope it is later than she thinks it will be. I hope my dad’s appointment is on or after December 19th as there is another appointment around that time. Hope my mum and/ or dad don’t try to get a sooner date. Many things backfired, just hope to get my parcel before leaving town
