SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

We are getting ready to make our food boxes for Easter and are in need of these food items: cereal, oatmeal, mac and cheese, pasta, pasta sauce, brownie mix, canned beans, peanut butter, jelly, cookies, boxed mashed potatoes, tuna and canned fruit. We will also be collecting hams, turkeys and chickens to make our Easter boxes up until Sunday, April 6. Please do not leave them in the food barrels. Thank you for all your generosity to our Ministry!

​

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

We are in need of several more volunteers to launder and iron linens. These linens are NOT the large ones that cover the Altar, they are the smaller ones used by the Priests for Holy Mass and are essential. Training and guidance will be given. The commitment would be no more than once per month.

 

Please call the rectory at 856-663-1373 if you can contribute to your parish in this way.

 

VESTMENT MEMORIAL
There is an opportunity to dedicate a parish vestment in memory of your deceased loved one. The vestment will be used on a regularly basis for the celebration of Mass by the priests of the parish at St. Peter’s. The donation is $2000.00.
If interested, please call the rectory.
