Parish Organizations

Society of Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the largest Catholic lay association of charity in the Roman Catholic Church. St. John's St. Vincent de Paul Society invites you to become part of our group. Our goal is to meet the practical needs of those in our parish and the Collingswood community who are experiencing temporary hardship through sickness, loss of job or other unforeseen circumstances. We hope to be able to proved small sums of emergency assistance towards unpaid bills, provide emergency food bags, or assist with other needs as they are presented to us.

Thriftway Save-A-Tape Program

The Thriftway Save-A-Tape program will now be used to benefit the newly formed St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. John's Church. The Society of St. Vincent DePaul's Mission is to provide tangible and spiritual support through prayer and person-to-person services to the needy and suffering. By participating in this program you will now be aiding the Society of St. Vincent dePaul to provide Gift Certificates for food to those who have the need.

Please help us in our mission and save your grocery receipts and place them in the box in the vestibule of the church.

Important note: The Acme now has its own Tape Saver Program. These tapes will also be used to benefit the Vincent de Paul Society. The Acme stores in Voorhees, Haddonfield and Audubon are participating in this program.

Men's Club

The Saint John's Men's Club is an organization of Catholic men working within the parish both in a service role and in a social role. As an organization we pool our talents and gifts. Our service projects benefit the parish and school. Our social events enrich parish life. We invite any men in the parish to come out and join the Saint John's Men's Club. We meet the second Monday of each month in McLaughlin Hall at 8:00 PM (except July and August). Join us on any meeting night and just identify yourself to one of the members as a new member and we will take care of the rest. If you would like to talk with someone first, feel free to contact one of the officers listed below.

Pro-Life Committee:
40 Days for Life

Pro-Life communities around the nation will unite for a simultaneous pro-life campaign of prayer and witness from February 6-March 16. This entails prayer and fasting during this time period and joining for a peaceful public witness against abortion outside the Cherry Hill Women's Center. For more information, contact 856-829-3009.

Singing in a choir in church does not require a wonderful voice. Just the ability to carry a tune and blend in with the group. If you’ve ever thought about joining a singing group at church but were afraid to try, now is the time!

Join A Choir!

St. John's Parish Choir
sings at the 9:30 AM Mass on Sundays and practices on Monday evenings at 7:30 PM in the church. If you’d like to join the choir call Brian Johnson at 858-0298 or come the first practice.

The Folk Group
sings at the 11:00 AM Mass and practices on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM in the school cafeteria. They would love to welcome new members and are especially looking for a few male voices. For more information call Carolyn Joseph at 858-0298.

St. John's Parish Children's & Teen's Choir
We would like to encourage all children from the parish (St. John’s School and CCD) to join our children’s choir. The choir will meet two times a month for practice, and will sing at all Family Masses, and other events. Check for sign up sheets in your
St. John’s School or CCD class. For more information call Mrs. Gunning at 858-0298.

Dinners to the Doorsteps

Do you know of families in need of support to help them get through a time of stress or crisis (new babies, new homes, illness, death). St. John's Parish has a group of volunteers who provide meals during a difficult time. Call Laurie Olsen at 856-858-4737 if you know of people who need assistance or if you'd like to volunteer to cook a meal.
