“Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)

For many of our neighbors in Paterson, simple things like a toothbrush, a bar of soap, or a pair of clean socks can be a powerful reminder of dignity and care. This Advent season, our parish has the chance to provide that comfort, and we invite you to be part of it.

We are collecting items for Eva’s Village, a nonprofit in Paterson that serves people struggling with poverty, hunger, addiction, and mental health challenges. Our Faith Formation families will package the supplies into hygiene kits during Advent, so every item you give, large or small, will go directly into the hands of someone in need.

How you can help: Sign up online to donate an item from our list here. Drop off your items in the Gathering Space on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Members of the Feed Thy Neighbor Committee will be available at the Community Sunday gathering following the 10am Mass on November 1st to answer any questions.
