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 assistance with utilities. Confidentiality is maintained, as well as  respect for the person requesting assistance.

 If you are in need of food or 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.

We Thank You For Your Support

 With your help, the St. Anthony Ministry continues to offer support to dozens of families every month.  Thank you and God Bless.

 If you have a few hours a week to spare and would like to volunteer in support of the St. Anthony Ministry, please contact the parish office.
