Charity and Support Efforts

Inreach/Outreach Efforts

This group meets monthly to examine the needs and respond in consistent and organized ways, whenever possible to our own community, as well as responding to the greater community. Meetings are held monthly after Sunday Liturgy. Check Crossroads and our Website for exact date and time.

A Single Nationality: Those Who Need a Hand - Philadelphia Inquirer article about our parish's effort to help a muslim mother and son fleeing the war in Chechnia so they could get needed medical help in the US. 

Note: Since the publication of this article in August 2006, Deshi and Ayub have been granted asylum, allowing them to remain in the United States.

Community Luncheon Project

Parishioners gather the first Saturday of each month at 9 AM to prepare food for both the Community Luncheon program in Mt. Holly, and some of our own parishioners. This group also bakes goodies twice each year for our college students away from the parish during the year. This project has entered its 13th year.
 

 Caregivers Support Group

This support group started out with the goal of supporting parishioners who are the primary caregivers of a loved one or friend, but has grown to include others in need of supportive friends. Confidentiality and compassion are key ingredients for the success of this group. Meeting dates and times can be seen in Crossroads or our Website.
