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.

Saint Anthony, the Miracle Worker; I come to you in desperate need, placing my beloved 13 yr old son into your heavenly care. You who were a gentle companion to the suffering, look with favor upon my son who has spent over 30 long days in the hospital. I beg you to come to his immediate assistance. Comfort his mind, quiet his confusion, and bring deep peace and clarity to clear away this delirium. Loving Saint Anthony, I urgently ask your intercession for his shunt surgery he so critically needs. Guide the minds and steady the hands of his surgeons, doctors, and nurses so they may act quickly and effectively and keep him free from Infection. Whisper my plea into the ears of the Infant Jesus, whom you held so tenderly, and obtain for my son a swift, safe surgery and a complete restoration of mind and body. Please grant us this miracle of healing. Amen
