Gardeners
The Gardening Group meets every Wednesday morning, weather permitting, at 8:45am from Easter through Halloween to tend the grounds around the Church. (Flowers only; no lawn care.) The Gardening Group has won several awards from both the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and area gardening associations. Our goal is to make the Church grounds beautiful and to attract people in our community to St. Stanislaus Church. If you are interested in helping, contact Jeanne-Marie Motley at 215-450-0042 jmbm313@verizon.net.

Respect Life Committee
We proclaim the Pro-Life message of the Catholic Church, giving witness to the Gospel of Life in word and deed. In the words of Pope John Paul II, “Today…the Church must, with clarity and patience, strongly uphold the Right to Life of everyone, especially of those not yet born, who therefore need special protection.” This committee promotes programs on all life issues, including abortion, euthanasia, the death penalty and AIDS. Its members promote the annual Respect Life Sunday and the March for Life in Washington, D.C. The committee meets on the first Tuesday of the month at 8pm in the Parish Center.  Call Jeanne-Marie Motley with interest or questions: 215-450-0042 or email jmbm313@verizon.net

Welcoming Committee
The Welcoming Committee meets once a month to explore ways to help our parishioners get to know each other and to make our Church more welcoming.  These meetings also include planning for events sponsored by the committee, such as the “New Friends Brunch” and Parish Summer Picnic.  We also work as greeters before Mass.
