St Anthony of Padua, Maronite Catholic Church

Welcome to St. Anthony of Padua, Maronite Catholic Church

Nestled in the heart of Cincinnati at 2530 Victory Parkway, St. Anthony of Padua is more than just a place of worship; it is a vibrant Maronite Catholic community committed to living the Gospel through compassion and service. We invite you to explore the rich traditions of our Eastern Catholic heritage and join us in our mission to serve "the garden in which we have been planted."

At St. Anthony of Padua, we draw inspiration from the timeless parable of the Good Samaritan, reminding us of the power of compassion and the call to action in the face of suffering. Just as the Samaritan was moved to tend to the wounded traveler, we are called to see Christ in the faces of those in need, whether they are nearby or across the globe in places like Ukraine, Iraq, Syria, and Gaza.

Our community believes in the transformative power of love and service. We recognize that it takes more than compassion to make a difference; it requires us to step out of our comfort zones, to allow our lives to be disrupted for the sake of others, and to act with mercy and grace. As St. Vincent de Paul wisely observed, "those who love the poor in life will have nothing to fear in death."

Guided by the teachings and example of Our Blessed Mother, who embraced the broken body of her son, we strive to face both the poverty in others and in ourselves with courage and faith. We encourage you to join us in this journey of faith, to experience the joy and grace that comes from serving Christ in his most distressing disguises.

Visit us at St. Anthony of Padua, where we celebrate our rich Maronite traditions and work tirelessly to serve our community and beyond. Together, let us answer Christ's call to "Go and do likewise," extending our hands and hearts to those in need.
