The Shrine of St. Anthony is a Roman Catholic shrine honoring St. Anthony of Padua. The shrine is located within the St. Joseph Cupertino Friary in Ellicott City, Maryland, USA. The shrine is a ministry of the Conventual Franciscan Friars, Our Lady of the Angels Province, USA.
The friary covers 20,194 sq ft (1,876.1 m2) on 320 acres (1.3 km2; 0.50 sq mi) of hills and woodland.
The chapel which houses the relic of St. Anthony is open to the public during published visiting hours. Mass is offered daily throughout the year. Healing masses are offered the 3rd and last Sunday of every month. The shrine also offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation, spiritual direction, and days of prayer.
For prayer and solitude the grounds around the friary offers seven trails and a Lourdes grotto. In 2010 an outdoor shrine to St. Maximilian Kolbe was added to the garden. It features a statue of Maximilian Kolbe that was blessed by Pope John Paul II on the day Maximilian Kolbe was canonized.
The historic Manor House is open to the public during posted hours on the Sundays in October until the first Sunday of November. It features two heritage rooms and a traveling art exhibit. In 2008 it displayed watercolor paintings by Fr. Gerry Waterman, OFM Conv. and poetry by Fr. Gary Johnson, OFM Conv. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.
The history of the property on which the Shrine of St. Anthony sits can be tied back to the Carroll family. In 1700 Charles Carroll of Annapolis was granted 10,000 acres (40 km2; 16 sq mi) of property in what is now Howard County, MD. In 1717 he began construction of Doughoregan Manor. Charles Carroll of Carrollton inherited the property and was eventually buried there. An area of 1,000 acres (4 km2) of land was sectioned off from the Doughoregan estate and given to Emily Caton MacTavish (Carroll's granddaughter) as a wedding present. The estate was immediately named "Folly Quarter". The manor house was designed by William Small, a protege of Benjamin Latrobe. It was originally built around 1730 as part of the Doughoregan Manor estate, it was then remodeled by Charles Carroll of Carrollton for his granddaughter and completed in 1832.
