A Catholic lay ministry inspired by Gospel values, the St. Anthony Ministry to the Needy leads men and women to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person services to the needy and suffering.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, members are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Nourished by prayer, volunteers are united in mutually supportive gatherings by their mutual spirit of humility, charity, and sharing.
This ministry of our parish provides food and limited financial assistance with utilities. Confidentiality is maintained, as well as respect for the person requesting assistance.
If you are in need of food or monetary assistance, and if you live within the territorial boundaries of Divine Mercy Parish, please contact the St. Anthony Ministry to the Needy directly at (504) 327-7783.
Please contact the parish office if you would like to volunteer.
