​SAINT PAUL SOCIETY

January is a great time to support our St. Paul Ministry Food Pantry! With the Can-Can sale underway at ShopRite and our shelves running low after the holidays, donations are especially needed right now. While financial gifts are always appreciated, we are currently limited in volunteers, making it very helpful for parishioners to bring food items directly to church and place them in the pantry barrels. Bringing items from home or the store is a simple but vital way to support this important work of mercy.

​

Current needs include: Cereal, mac & cheese, pasta, pasta sauce, pancake mix & syrup, brownie or cake mix & icing, canned corn, green beans & peas, canned beans, soup, fruit, peanut butter, jelly, tuna, cookies, boxed potatoes, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate.

​

If you know someone who needs assistance, please share our hotline: 856-904-7397. Thank you for your continued generosity!

​

PURGATORIAL SOCIETY

Please remember that we offer Membership into the Purgatorial Society for our Deceased Loved Ones. Beautifully bound large memorial folders are now available in royal blue and burgundy. Inside the folder is a picture of our Grotto in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes or the Grotto in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The donation for Membership into the Society is $25. Members enrolled in the Society will share in a Mass once a month here at St. Peter Church celebrated on the First Saturday of each month at 9:00 AM.

​

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.
