Our Religious Education Program is for children preparing for  Sacraments starting in first through eighth grade and any high  school students who have not received Baptism, Penance,  Eucharist, or Confirmation.  

Our program runs from September through April and offers  traditional weekly classes and a Home Study Program (third – sixth  grades, with approval).  

The program is supported by generous volunteers. As per the  United States Bishop’s charter Protecting God’s Children, all  volunteers 18 age or older participate in criminal background checks  and VIRTUS training for the safety of our children.

A Sacristan is someone who prepares the sacred spaces of the  Church to welcome all to the table of Jesus as He gives Himself to us. They are responsible for the care of the environment and the  placement of everything that is used in all the Church Liturgies. This Ministry is a family of people, united to maintain the dignity and  meaning of all our Liturgies. Consider joining these wonderful  servants as they grow closer to Him. Come join our family. For more  information, please contact the Parish Office at 609-298-0261. 

Secular Franciscan Order is a community of Catholic adults who  grow in the love of scripture and the Church in the footsteps of  Francis of Assisi and his followers.

One of the most important roles of an usher is that of hospitality. The  usher is the first-person worshipers meet when they arrive at  church. The impression of our parish is significantly shaped by the  presence or absence of a welcoming atmosphere when they come  to worship. Offering a smile and a word of welcome can have a  profound impact on the people as they enter our church. For more  information, please contact the Parish Office at 609-298-0261.  

Walking with Purpose (WWP) is a unique Bible Study Program for  women of all ages. At the heart of the program, we seek to elevate  our knowledge of God and to deepen our relationship with Jesus.  Walking With Purpose is more than a women’s Bible study.

It is a safe place where you will discover authentic  friendships and meaningful discussions as your heart is transformed  by the Word of God. It is everything you need to get back to living a  life that you love. For more information, please contact the Parish  Office at 609-298-0261.
