The church school regularly raises food donations, and the parish also prepares gift holiday baskets. All of them can use volunteers and food, winter clothing and money to meet their goals. Bob Masiello is a member of St. Peter's, Clifton. The funds also made possible restoration of the windows, painting of the church interior and new carpeting, and installation of an elevator for handicap accessibility. The honors were done by the Rev. Luis Leon and the Very Rev. Tracey Lind, the church's most recent rectors, who led the renewal of ministry in the city of Paterson.
Animals provide companionship, unconditioned affection, even protection.
However, when our living space becomes too small, our human relationships make pet ownership inconvenient, or our loved ones have loved ones of their own, animals are abandoned, dropped off, disposed of. As we expand civilization into the wilderness, the existing wildlife becomes a nuisance. Dan DiNubila and his compatriots in the Animal Ministry Team at the Church of the Redeemer in Morristown have taken a different view about our relationship with animals. Each member of the Team is affiliated with a shelter or in some cases, with a wildlife refuge. As a community of faith, the Church of the Redeemer has a firm commitment to social causes, through its community soup kitchen and the Hospitality Network that provides services to the homeless - we do a lot of social outreach.
