Support Group for Parents Grieving the Death of a Child 8/19 Meeting
Grieving the death of a child is not something that suddenly ends, and not a journey you need to face alone. The Support Group for Parents Grieving the Death of a Child meets on the third Monday of each month from 7:30-9pm in the church rectory. Parents are welcome regardless of how long ago the loss was, or what age the child was. There’s no preregistration and no fee.
Please call Mary Davis with any questions: (201) 280-9881
The Church Rectory is the building next door to the front entrance of St. Peter’s: 445 Fifth Avenue, River Edge, NJ 07661
Community Saturday & Sunday — Hosted by Carnival Committee
A special treat to wrap up summer! The St. Peter’s Carnival Committee is hosting Community Saturday (“Wine & Cheese”) on August 24th following the 5pm Mass, and Community Sunday (“Coffee & Donuts”) on August 25th after all Masses.
Enjoy good company and delicious goods after Mass in the Parish Center, and learn more about how you can help out with making our largest annual church fundraiser a great success through participating in the big raffle, volunteering to run a game booth, and bringing your family and friends for some fun!
THANK YOU from our Carnival Committee for your support!
Support Group for Singles, Divorced and Widowed 9/5 Meeting
Tired of being alone? St. Peter's Support Group for Singles, Divorced and Widowed could be the answer!!! This group is devoted to helping people rebuild social lives after a divorce, loss of spouse or loved one, or the isolation of life as a single adult. Its leaders and compassionate members have been through, survived and prospered after similar situations.
This warm and caring group of sincere people have created a community that supplies generous support to its members. First time visitors are offered a private orientation by one of our group leaders. Meetings are held on most 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month at 7pm in the Parish Center. For more information check out the group’s website.

St. Peter’s monthly first Friday Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament takes place on the first Friday of every month in the chapel following the 9am Mass until 3pm. Come spend time with our Lord in the Eucharist. Stop in for a few minutes, or sign up to devote a larger period of time.
Rosary Society 9/9 Meeting
Make a moment of peace in your week to join the Rosary Society at 7pm in the Chapel. All are welcome to come pray together!
An Evening of Peace and Friendship 9/10 Session
Join us for an Evening of Peace & Friendship at 7:30pm in the Chapel and on Zoom in a casual conversation and discussion about the upcoming Sunday Scripture and its relevance in our lives.
We look forward to your sharing this time with us. All are welcome — there is nothing to join. Please email SCC@saint-peter.org for the link and passcode to the Zoom meeting if you don’t plan to attend in person.
