All of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. 

Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, 

because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8-9

 

JusticeTo reach out to those less fortunate by providing material items and ordinary services demonstrating Christ’s love by offering respect and dignity to all God’s children, Queenship of Mary parishioners participate in the following:


The Social Concerns Committee provides material, social and emotional support to needy individuals and families in the immediate community and beyond through the help of generous members of the Parish community.  Activities are scheduled throughout the year which help to provide such things as meals, clothing and transportation.  Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Non-perishable food is collected at all masses on the first Sunday of every month.  Through your generosity, we are able to share these resources with the Food Cupboard of the First Presbyterian Church of Cranbury and throughout our community. In addition, Parishioners of Queenship of Mary happily support our Boy Scout troop’s Thanksgiving Food Drive. Local families in need receive baskets filled with all the necessary ingredients for a Thanksgiving feast. Contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Through the Adopt-a-Family program parish members donate new gifts of clothing, toys, etc. to provide Christmas gifts to needy families.  The generous gifts, delivered by volunteers, help make the season more joyous for many local families. Contact Stein Corcoran via the parish office.

Queenship of Mary exclusively serves “fairly traded” coffee and tea through the Equal Exchange Fellowship program. Products are offered for sale on the first Sunday of every month after the 8:15 am mass and on the third Sunday of each month after the 10:00 am mass.
