Offer a MassSt. 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.
“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.
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.

Dear St. Anthony- please continue helping me put forth healthy boundaries for my own mental health. Elisabeth has finally spoken to me to discuss a situation she started by calling me negative names as a “joke”. She’s upset bc she began this on social media and I put my boundary down respectfully but other friends saw. I pray she continues getting any support or help she may need to heal. I’m doing my best to create safe boundaries for myself even if they are uncomfortable for others. I pray I can receive the support I need to do what’s best for me & my family in the most respectful and positive ways. I truly wish the best for Elisabeth. She needs time to heal & understand we all have our own healthy boundaries. I thank our mutual friend, A, for all her support. Amen.
