What are you going to do this Lent? How about hosting a group of 8 to 10 adults for faith sharing?

• Help people become better hearers and doers of God’s Word
• Help make better connections between faith and life
• Help adults live their faith concretely in family, work and community

You will meet in homes for approximately 90 minutes each week.

A big THANK YOU to all who helped with Operation Shoebox - whether you wrote letters, signed our banner, made a donation, or helped with the Pack-Out, your efforts are most appreciated. 

St. Mary's, Operation Shoebox of NJ, and most of all, our troops are forever grateful.

See the volunteers in action!

St. Mary's parishioners participated in the day of service - "Day On" - sponsored by The Diocese of Trenton Department of Multicultural Ministry, lending their hands to various community activities to celebrate the life and work of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Members of Youth Ministry and other parishoners helped out in a variety of ways -  yard work for senior citizen parishioners,  sorting coats for donation to Lunch Break, working in food pantries and soup kitchens, writing letters to our troops overseas, sorting donations for Operation Shoebox, singing at a senior citizens community - there was something for everyone.

The challenge for parishioners is to answer the call to serve throughout the year!

Finally!! After much perserverance through many roadblocks, St. Mary's solar panel project is near completion!

We have partnered with Solis Partners to "Go Green" by installing a low maintenance solar panel system that will reduce our carbon footprint and our electricity costs.

The solar panel project is part of a broader effort to make St. Mary's a "Sustainable Sanctuary" - one that honors the idea of using only those resources we need to live and thus leave enough resources for those who will follow in the future.
