“I call us to be servant leaders who engage in SERVICE to our neighbors near and far and who work for justice and stewardship to hasten the Reign of God.”
PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
Members gather the last Monday of the month at 5:30PM in the rectory. The Prayer Shawls they make are first blessed by Father Cirba and then delivered to homebound and sick parishioners and friends in the local community. They also make baptismal blankets, chemo hats, and more. All are welcome to attend and get involved regardless of parish membership. For more information, contact Kelly Bullock at 570-332-3904.
Nursing Home Ministry
Parishioners visit local nursing homes throughout the year. They take prizes and play BINGO with the residents, sing some songs, and spend time in conversation. Watch the bulletin for upcoming dates.
Holy Closet Ministry
Parishioners and volunteer shoppers provide students in the Hanover Area School District with a weeks worth of Back to School clothes, shoes, underwear, socks in the Fall.
