Outreach

- The people of St. Anthony parish share in Jesus’ ministry to the marginalized and outcast. Specifically we reach out in love and relationship to members of our parish and our neighborhood, including:
  
  Those who suffer from any kind of illness — physical, mental, emotional
  
  The dying and the bereaved
  
  Those who need food, drink, clothing or shelter
  
  Those who feel alienated from the Church or are not actively engaged with their faith
- Bereavement
  All of us experience the anguish of losing a loved one. The process of planning the funeral service can be a step in grieving and healing for the bereaved. The Bereavement Team at St. Anthony is here to assist in planning funeral services. Members of the team are present for the service and to offer support after.
  
  In times of illness and infirmity, we need care not just for our physical needs but also for the spiritual. Through the Network of Care, the parish offers Communion to those unable to attend Mass. We visit shut-ins and the sick, arranging for the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick as needed. Transportation to doctor and hospital appointments can be arranged. The team can also offer resources for those in need of outreach or other services.

- MEAC
  Madisonville Education and Assistance Center (MEAC) was created to provide vital assistance mainly in the Madisonville area (zip code 45227) so that the residents in need become self-sufficient – one household at a time. MEAC is located in Eastminster Presbyterian Church at the corner of Roe and Erie Streets, in the Church's lower area. For more information, call (513) 271-5501 or visit the MEAC website.
