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.

Please pray for my dear little cat Jeremy to have good health. Pray that my cardiologist appointment goes well, and that I don't have trouble with my cardiologist or regular doctor. Pray that I can find my sister's baby book. Our mother kept it safe for over 47 years, and I have had it for over six years, but I moved three years old and I can't find it. Please pray for all my health problems and regular worries.

I humbly ask for your prayers for my husband, Librado . He is currently a physician in our home country, working tirelessly across three different jobs to support our family. We pray that the Lord grants him the wisdom, peace, and clarity of mind needed to successfully pass the medical exams for the United States and match into a Family Medicine residency. We ask for this grace not only for his professional growth...spend quality time together, to be united, and to be fully present as parents and spouses. We place this life project and our family's future in your prayers. Amen
