We're a caring community that supports its members and friends near and far through good times and bad.
Our most significant ministry includes the Holy Spirit Verona Food Pantry which is serving over 100 shoppers per month and involves a minimum of 45 volunteers monthly. In addition, in late 2021 we partnered with St. Peter's Livingston Thrift Shop now named the Heavenly Finds Thrift Shop, an outreach ministry of our congregation.
Whether arranging to cook and deliver food to someone recovering from surgery, holding a prayer vigil for an ill member, or providing cake for a baby's baptism, the bonds among the congregation are sure signs of God's love working through us.
We are also a community who truly looks outside our walls for opportunities to serve. Through support of local programs like the Verona Rescue Squad and Verona Fire Department, St. Peter's Haven, Christine's Kitchen, St. Agnes Food Pantry, Diocese of Newark Prison Ministries, Mark's Closet Bloomfield, youth mission trips and our Annual Pet Celebration on the town green, we welcome opportunities to be the heart and hands of Christ. Much of this support is done through our annual Angel Tree outreach sponsored during the Advent Season.
A team from Holy Spirit annually joins the "Out of the Darkness" Suicide Prevention Walk in in loving memory of Vanya Citrano. We also participate in other events sponsored by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. If you would like to join the Holy Spirit Verona Team or make a donation, click here or email Fr. Jerry.
Prayer Shawl Ministry. On the first and third Wednesday of the month, a group gathers to meditate and knit. This is a spiritual practice that benefits the practitioner and those gifted with these sacred mantles. This ministry is nondenominational and open to anyone who is seeking to step away from their daily stresses with an alternative form of meditation. Please email Rev. Katherine for additional information or visit our website calendar for the date this group meets.
