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.

Prayer for my family O Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints, you are known for your love for God and for your miraculous powers. As a protector of families, I humbly ask for your intercession before God for all my loved ones. I thank you for all the blessings you have helped secure for our family throughout the years. I am grateful for the AU visa granted to my daughter, the correct diagnosis for my wife, and the help in finding a new rental house for my daughter. Now, I bring these new petitions to you, and I ask that you whisper them into the ears of the sweet Infant Jesus: • For my daughter who is suffering from PCOD and irregular periods, I pray for your kind intercession for her speedy recovery and for her periods to become regular. • For my second daughter, I pray that you help her to become a good person, to do well in her studies, and to excel in her exams. • For good health for all members of my family. • For peace to all in my family.

Please help me St. Anthony. You know what I've been praying and praying for. Plead for me please. You know that I never wanted to live here. Please help me move to a happy little home very quickly, a home I love. I beg for your help. I long to be happy again in a home I love, just like the very happy and blessed home before this one. I made a mistake leaving. Thank you so much St. Anthony. Thank you for past intercessions. I'm so very grateful.

Dear Lord, I am so grateful that you did not turn me away when I pulled away from our deep relationship years ago. Thank you for welcoming me back and especially by using our granddaughter to do it. I can’t thank you enough and especially since L and I are growing or relationship together with you and making life better in your name and ultimately for you, is simply amazing. Amen

Mother Mary I place my daughter Leilani in your hands. My heart is heavy because of what she told me about her not believing in the Church and that she does not want to go into a church or have any religious crosses or statues in her home. She also is saying that there are people that are wiccans that are Christian. The world is leading her astray. Please ask your Son or Lord Jesus Christ to bring her back to God. She is going against everything she was taught.
