From Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney:
As we mourn our Holy Father, Pope Francis, we are grateful for his confirming us in faith and in gathering those on the
peripheries into the Lord’s embrace in keeping with the ministry that the Lord Jesus entrusted to his Church. As a family of faith, we grieve and we pray, finding undying hope in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.
Please join with our diocesan family at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson on Friday in the Octave of Easter, April 25, 2025, at 12:30 p.m. to share in the Celebration of the Eucharist in suffrage for the soul of Pope Francis, whom we commend to Divine Mercy. Gathered by the Lord in the power of the Holy Spirit, in praise of the Father, we hand back to Almighty God the Servant of the Servants of God, who was an apostolic witness to hope. Like the disciples we are nourished by the Lord himself.
All of the faithful are invited to this celebration.
