One way to serve our good God and the Church is through the ministry of lector, altar server, Eucharistic Minister and choir member. These are great ways to serve and do not demand a huge amount of time, although they require thought, preparation and cooperation. Busy people are currently serving! Training is provided and a flexible schedule can be arranged. Reading this may be God's way of inviting you to come forward. If you are currently serving in one of these ministries, please personally invite others to serve. Contact Lou Scarpa at ministry@stmarycloster.org to get started. 

The Archdiocese takes very seriously any and all allegations of sexual misconduct by members of the clergy, Religious and lay staff of the Archdiocese.  We encourage anyone with knowledge of an act of sexual misconduct to inform us immediately so that we may take appropriate action to protect others and provide support to victims of sexual abuse.

Individuals who wish to report an allegation of sexual misconduct may do so by calling the Archdiocesan Office of Child and Youth Protection at (201) 407-3256.
