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.

I request to pray urgently for my mother She wants to leave house for a man who does not even care for her and is with her only for his selfishness. It's been 22 years, but seems she is not able to understand that he only creates trouble when he enters the house. He keeps saying to her that he will not visit our house for any functions and festivals which makes my mom insecure as the society will question her of why she is alone, Due to this she does whatever he says and is now ready to leave my house. My mom feels that I dont care and treat her like servant which is not true. She spoke very bad with my husband who is a very humble person. Please Lord open my mom's eyes and solve the quarrels in my family. If anywhere I am wrong then let me also improve. I don't know how to handle the situation but what ever happens I want it by Will of God.
