Parish Life
Mary, Mother of God is a very vibrant parish with many opportunities to meet fellow parishioners through the Circle of Friends, Rosary Altar Society, CYO Basketball and Men's, Women's & Youth Groups, Coffee Socials, Social Events, Parish Trips, Parish Missions & Retreats and the New Evangelization. The topics of discussion at the Men's, Women's and Youth groups, as well as at the Parish Missions, Retreats and through the New Evangelization also help us group spiritually.
Our Prayer Shawl ministry creates shawls and prayer squares, join them as they crochet and pray. The 1,000 Hail Marys and Prayer Line pray for those going through difficult times. The Devotions and Prayer & Meditations areas are available to assist you in prayer.
We have many social concerns ministries to help those in need. Try Adopt-A-Senior, give to the Baby Shower & Diaper Drive and the Food Pantry, participate in the Blood Drive, leading up to Christmas we have the Giving Tree, the Interfaith Hospitality Network occurs twice a year where we host some families for one week each time and offers many opportunities to assist those in need. Bereavement Support helps those dealing with the loss of a loved one. Respect Life raises awareness in our parish on various life issues and the St. Vincent de Paul Society assists families in need and mans the SVDP New Brunswick Food Pantry on the 1st Saturday of the month. This area also contains a Catholic News & Blog page to keep up to date on current issues impacting the church and our faith.
We invite you to join some of these groups and ministries, either as a one-time opportunity or as a longer term commitment, the choice is yours and the rewards are tremendous.
