As we have done in previous years, all those who would like to place flowers near the Statue of Our Lady in the Church may leave them in a vase close to the main doors of the Church.  Father John will be checking throughout the day all this month and will be happy to place them inside by the Statue of the Blessed Mother.  Likewise, if anyone has a special intention, prayer request or the name of a loved one to be remembered, they may be submitted online at this link, or may be placed at the doors (in a plastic bag) and will be put in a basket by Our Lady.  If you would like your containers back at a later time, please put your name and number on them.  We will try to post pictures of our Blessed Mother’s Statue in the Church throughout the month of May.
 

Due to current directives, our SVDP has put into place a new, temporary hours and procedures for distributing food and for accepting donations. 

Food Distribution:  SVDP will now be open for food distribution on the following days/hours:

Monday:  11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Tuesday:  11:00 am - 1:00 pm
Thursday:  6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Saturday:  11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Donations:  Thanks to the wonderful donations of our generous parishioners, our pantry is will stocked!  The following are the only items we are low on:  canned vegetables (especially peas), tuna, cereal and bread.

Due to current directives, our system for accepting donations has temporarily changed.  Every Tuesday morning between 7:00 am and 11:00 am, a SVDP volunteer will be at the pantry to accept donations for the pantry.  A cart will be set up by the curb for those donating to drive by and place their donation on the cart.  The volunteer will then move it into the pantry to be shelved. 
*This schedule and procedure will continue until we are able to re-open and accept donations as we did prior to the quarantine/social distancing.  We will inform everyone when we are able to re-open.

On the advice of public health officials, Bishop David M. O’Connell, C.M. is mandating the closing of all churches and chapels in the Diocese of Trenton to the public, effective at noon, Wednesday, April 1, until further notice.  **Please click this link to read Bishop O'Connell's message regarding Confession, posted April 2.**
