Our Extraordinary Ministers bring the Precious Body and visit with those in their homes and in care facilities every Friday following the 8:30 am Mass. It is a wonderful way for those who are unable to get out to stay connected to us. If you would like a visit, please contact Jody Costello at 973-377-4000 ext. 301 or e-mail her at [email protected].
Veterans at Lyons
What: “VETERANS OUTREACH.”SVM Parish and its school have participated in outreach programs for Veterans who are located at the VA facility in Lyons, NJ since 2014. The facility is approximately 30 minutes from Madison. The majority of opportunities at the facility are at the Community Living Center, which is a nursing home setting. Some of the programs the parish has conducted in the past are:
Volunteering to host and assist at recreational events at the Lyons facility, providing and serving refreshments while getting to know the residents during the program.
Conducting a toiletry drive for needed items at the facility.
Hosting veterans at SVMS where the students provide entertainment and get to know individual Veterans.
Time commitment varies according to event but typically is between 1 and 3 hours. Coordinated by Bill Heskett: 917-714-0081
