Saint Anthony Shrine

The St. Anthony Friary and Shrine in Cincinnati, OH is a renowned Catholic pilgrimage site dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua, one of the most popular saints in the Catholic Church. The shrine, situated on a hill above Cincinnati, was established in the late 1880s by Joseph and Elizabeth Nurre, who generously donated the property to the Franciscan friars. With a rich history and a strong devotion to St. Anthony, the shrine offers a place for prayer, intercession, and spiritual reflection.

As part of the St. John the Baptist Province, the 130 friars of the St. Anthony Friary and Shrine are members of the Order of Friars Minor, following the example of St. Francis of Assisi. Committed to a life of poverty, prayer, and service to others, the friars serve the Catholic Church as brothers and priests. The shrine welcomes visitors to join their online prayer community, make prayer requests, light candles, and offer Mass for specific intentions. Additionally, donations support their mission of serving the poor and needy, as well as providing for the formation of new friars and caring for retired infirm friars.
