Each Friday during Lent, you are invited to walk prayerfully with Christ along the way of His Passion—from Pilate’s praetorium to the tomb. Through the 14 Stations of the Cross, we journey together with Scripture, meditation, and quiet reflection. Booklets will be provided to guide your prayer, and the service may vary each week as a different ministry leads it.

All are welcome to take part in this meaningful Lenten devotion—a sacred opportunity to slow down, pray deeply, and enter more fully into the mystery of Christ’s sacrifice and love.

Come be inspired. Go serve with mercy.

Our 2026 Lenten Parish Mission takes place on Sunday, March 1st at 7:00 PM. We’ll be dedicating one evening of reflection and renewal with our amazing guest speaker, Sister Pia Jude of the Sisters of Life. Through her stories and lived experience, Sr. Pia Jude will invite us to rediscover how Christ calls us to love concretely—to serve others with compassion, generosity, and joy. Come be inspired, refreshed, and encouraged as we continue to journey together through this sacred season of Lent.

This evening is meant to be shared—please invite a friend, neighbor, co-worker or family member to attend with you. There will be an opportunity to speak with some of the sisters following the main talk, as well!

This event is recommended for adults and children/youth ages 12 and over.

About Our Guest Speaker

Sr. Pia Jude, S.V.

Born and raised in NJ, Sister Pia Jude joined the Sisters of Life in 2013 after working as an attorney in Manhattan. Sister has served in various missions of outreach within the Sisters of Life, including sharing the liberating message of the Gospel of Life to university students in Denver, Colorado, and in the Sisters’ missions to the Co-Workers of Life and the Respect Life Office for the Archdiocese of New York. Most recently, Sister serves the community-at-large through hidden works by assisting the Superior General with legal needs. Sr. Pia Jude is delighted to be here, as she loves great Saint biographies, and sees each person here as one in the making.

Join us at Community Sunday in the Parish Center following all Masses on Sunday, March 1st for a simple yet meaningful Lenten Service Project. As we reflect this week on the Corporal Works of Mercy themes Visit the Sick and Visit the Imprisoned, we are invited to reach out to those who may feel isolated or unseen. Together, we’ll make cards and write letters to our homebound parishioners, offering a reminder that they are remembered and never alone. All are welcome—your presence and a few kind words can be a true work of mercy.

During Lent, we invite you to live out the corporal work of mercy “Visit the Sick” by giving the gift of life at our parish blood drive. Each donation is a simple yet powerful act of compassion, bringing hope and healing to those who are ill or hospitalized. The blood drive will take place in the Gym on Sunday, March 1, hosted by the St. Peter Academy Student Council in partnership with New Jersey Blood Services (rescheduled from January 18 due to winter weather).

With blood supplies at critically low levels, there is an urgent need for donors. Right now, patients across our region are depending on the generosity of donors to ensure hospitals have the blood they need when lives are on the line. Inspired by our faith and the sacrificial love symbolized in the Blood of Christ, our students invite all who are eligible to participate in this meaningful act of mercy.

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are strongly encouraged. Thank you for helping put faith into action.
