SVM Parish and its school have participated in outreach programs for Veterans 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 held at the Community Living Center, which is a nursing home setting. In the past, the parish has conducted: 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. Various events occur during the year on weekday evenings in the summer and on Memorial Day. For more information contact Bill Heskett at (917) 714-0081.
