Our faith calls us to love our neighbors. Join us for a large service opportunity as we put our faith in action this Lent through the Feed Thy Neighbor event. On Wednesday, February 25th at 6:30pm in the Gym, our goal is to make approximately 300 turkey & cheese sandwiches for the men and women who visit Father English Community Center – a Catholic Charities agency in Paterson. 

Your help is needed to make this happen! Please consider donating food/supplies, and/or volunteering for the 2/25 event itself! Donations gratefully will be accepted by 1pm on Sunday, February 22nd.

Please sign up for our specific donation needs and/or sign up to volunteer! Space is limited for the 2/25 event itself, so please sign up early. Please visit the Welcome Desk in the Gathering Space if you need assistance signing up.

This service project is sponsored by the Office of Faith Formation. For more information, contact Kate Dorsett at katieonka@gmail.com.

Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.
— Matthew 25:40

Blood Drive

Blood Drive

Schedule an Appointment

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.

Letter-Writing to the Homebound

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.

Visits at the Senior Residence

Sign Up

During the week of March 2–6, we invite you to put faith into action through the Corporal Works of Mercy Visit the Sick and Visit the Imprisoned by spending time with the seniors at The Residence at St. Peter’s. In the Church’s tradition, these Corporal Works of Mercy include those who may feel confined by illness or loss of independence, and your presence offers companionship and a reminder that they are seen, valued and not forgotten.

Please sign up and plan to bring a simple activity to share with the seniors, such as a game, craft, or conversation starter. You can view our handy list of suggestions if helpful. Individuals, families, and groups are welcome.

Please visit our Welcome Desk on Sundays if you need assistance signing up. Questions? Contact Gina at 201-225-0707 or Marissa at 201-261-3366.

Parish-wide Closet Cleanout

During the week of March 8th, we’ll live out the Corporal Work of Mercy Clothe the Naked through a parish-wide clothing drive. Pick up a purple bag in the Gathering Space the weekend of March 7–8, fill it with gently used clothes you no longer need, and return it to the Catholic Charities bins in our church parking lot. How many purple bags can we fill together to become someone else’s “new” clothes?
