Help us continue to serve the poor and needy, our men in formation, and our retired & infirm friars.
DonateSt. 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.

Today Saturday May 10th 2025 I have started a nine day "novena" of prayer for my immediate financial abundance. Jesus promised me in Luke 11:9 and in Matthew 7:7 that all I have to do is ask and I will receive. I ask for full financial abundance to enter my life, and by the conclusion of these nine days of prayer, I will be abundantly blessed in my finances, I will become eternally financially abundant, wealthy and secure. Pray Jesus keeps his promise to me. Thank you. John King in Northern Ireland

Jesus, you knelt in a garden and wept what I now feel— the weight of a yes I didn’t ask for, a future I feel too tired to carry. You prayed for the cup to pass. So do I. Let it pass, Lord. Let it pass. But if it will not— if this path is mine to walk— then hold my feet steady when my heart trembles. I do not feel brave. I feel broken and overwhelmed. I feel like I’ve already given everything. I feel like this child is too much for me. But I want to love, Jesus. I really do. Not just out of duty, but with softness. Help me. Show me that you are not distant. Show me you are still kneeling in the garden with me, your hand on my shoulder, your eyes full of knowing. Let me feel your breath beside mine. Let me remember I am not alone. Even here—especially here— you call me beloved. Amen.
