At present, the SJ&P Commission needs more members to support our work within our four churches and the local communities. 

Fr. Peter Kaseta is the supervisor who cares deeply about the best, justifiable use of money, time, and energy for those in need. Parishioner Cathy is the experienced chair of the Commission. We ask that you consider helping our efforts by becoming a member of the commission, volunteering for a commission-sponsored event, or by donating to the Needy Fund and/or the Haiti Fund. You may contact the parish office if you’d like to get involved. Simply call 207-847-6890 or email [email protected]  We value your ideas and support.

Please consider a contribution to either the Needy Fund (General Assistance) or the Haiti Fund by clicking on one of the buttons below. You can also mail contributions to the parish office at 266 Foreside Road, Falmouth, ME 04105.
