Giving Tree
During the Advent season, the Giving Tree is placed in the vestibule. Through the tree, we provide gifts for more than 75 children from St. Joseph Pro-Cathedral in Camden plus children of clients of the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Gifts can be placed under the Giving Tree before or after Sunday Mass. On weekdays, gifts can be taken to the Parish Center. Gifts are wrapped and returned with the original tag attached. Volunteers are needed to sort and bag gifts and drivers are needed to deliver gifts.
For more information, please contact Michelle Sabia or Patty Maloney.
Hospitality Committee
The hospitality committee takes pride in providing the culinary arts for parish events. We are responsible for decor and table design, food layout, and bartending during select events like parish-wide meetings and celebrations after Sunday Mass. Our goal is to make these events a welcoming, joyous, and nourishing experience for parishioners and visitors alike.
For more information, please contact the Parish Office.
Knit, Crochet, Pray
Each baby baptized receives a gift bag on the day of their baptism. Among other items in the bag is a beautiful white baby blanket handmade by our ministry members. Our members also provide prayer shawls for those parishioners in need of extra comfort. The parish supplies the yarn and crochet and knitting classes are available.
For more information, please contact the Parish Office.
Parish Nurse Ministry
The Health Ministry is composed of retired and active healthcare professionals who offer valuable services to all of our parishioners. Some highlights include organizing CPR training classes, providing blood pressure readings after Masses, and organizing health presentations.
If you are a healthcare professional who would like to assist with this ministry, please contact the Parish Office.
Respect Life
As the USCCB states, “The Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the human person is the foundation [for] all the principles of our social teaching.” In promoting the dignity of the human person, this ministry seeks to prayerfully and financially support the women and their families who choose life. We have financially supported various organizations that serve young mothers and their babies and continue to grow as a beacon of hope for those in our community and to promote the dignity of all human beings.

Sweet Blessings
Sweet Blessings delivers home-baked goods to sick, elderly, and home-bound parishioners. We believe that small gestures, done in Christ’s name, make a big difference. When we hear of a need, we coordinate with the Parish Office and respond with care. Through the kindness and generosity of our bakers and delivery volunteers, we work to comfort fellow parishioners.
Tuesday Night Bible Study
During the Bible study, Fr. Jon will lead participants in reading important passages and will provide the cultural and historical background necessary for understanding the Bible through the use of photographs, maps, timelines, and more. The goal of participation is to fall in love with the written Word of God and learn how to apply its timeless message to Christian living today. The floor will always be open for questions and discussion. It is recommended to bring a Bible or Bible app.
