PARSIPPANY — Parsippany-Troy Hills Councilman Justin Musella met with the congregation of St. Andrew Lutheran Church on Sunday to foster discussions on potential collaborative initiatives between the church and the Township.

In the presence of newly ordained Pastor Psomi, both parties engaged in productive brainstorming sessions to identify areas of mutual interest and cooperation with Township officials.

Among the ideas explored, a key focus was on environmental initiatives, such as organizing trash and recycling drives to promote sustainability in the community. Additionally, the possibility of establishing a volunteer auxiliary corps to assist residents in need, particularly in situations where municipal services may be limited, was also discussed.

PARSIPPANY — Shri Sanatan Mandia held a groundbreaking ceremony on Sunday, June 4, for the new 3,500 square feet multi-purpose community hall.

The 3,500 square hall can accommodate 170 people at an estimated cost of $1.25 million. The hall at 16 Jean Terrace will provide improved facilities for School, Mandir Events, Community Service, and Private Events for Devotees.

The Indian Community Center (ICC) was formed in 1985 to serve the local Indian community by conducting various educational, cultural, and spiritual activities to preserve the traditional Indian heritage of our children born and raised in the USA. ICC is the parent organization of Shri Sanatan Mandir (temple), set up in 1989 in Parsippany when a 4.5-acre nicely wooded property was purchased. The temple actively celebrates many religious and cultural events.

ICC conducts a Sunday School to teach Indian languages, music, culture, and philosophy to children. A scholarship program is being initiated for deserving students of Indian heritage based on their SAT scores. ICC also conducts a senior center to allow seniors in the community to meet regularly for lectures, devotional music programs, field trips, etc.

ICC has also been active in several community projects in both USA and India. It has supported the local ambulance squad, police, and fire departments in Parsippany and donated to various natural disasters in India, like the Orissa Cyclone Relief Fund, Gujarat Earthquake Relief Fund, and Tsunami Relief Fund. It also works with various hospitals and associations to set up medical camps for needy people in the local community.
