In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, the Parish Emergency Response Team - PERT for short was formed to assist parishioners and our community with material and spiritual resources. This vital ministry of talented parishioners has activated several times since Superstorm Sandy to provide assistance to the homebound, establish shelters, standup warming and charging stations, and provide support to the town in the achievement of their emergency response and recovery efforts. It is a ministry we can all be proud of and has served as the model for other faith-based organizations in our community.
