Wonderful work has been done at the Hope House in Trenton made possible by your generous donations. We are almost ready to furnish the space dedicated to OLMCC/SKD. Donations are still needed to complete the work. Cissy Coleman will give us an update soon at Mass.

We have a women’s minimum security prison nearby that needs Catholic volunteers. The Next Door is a work-release program for women in their last two years of incarceration, housed at Moccasin Bend on the Northshore, thenextdoor.org. Currently, there are two Catholic women in residence, and we are looking for a pool of volunteers to offer occasional communion services at the facility. The days, times, and frequency could be arranged at our convenience.
