Father Jhon and I are overwhelmed with gratitude for all the goodness that parishioners are showing towards each other, and indeed to us, your priests and deacons. We also are grateful for your response to the caring leadership of our staff and ministry leads...

This past Saturday, members of our Pastoral Council gathered virtually for a morning-long Zoom meeting. It was a joyous reunion, if only from afar, after these weeks of isolation...

"I only wish all of these generous donors could see the faces of the people who receive at the hospitals, ambulance units, and agencies. They smile and say, 'Wow! Thank you so much!!!' every time we deliver."

Praying the Rosary Livestream has been a great blessing not only to our Prayer Leaders but also to those who are joining us each evening (130+ on average).

It is with profound sadness that I report news that yesterday (Monday), a host of heavenly angels accompanied our own beloved Jimmy Steiger to his eternal home and into the arms of our blessed Lord. We hold in prayer Jimmy's wife, Lisa, his daughters Allie Jude and Jessica, his dear father, Bob, and all his family and close friends.

As we move toward Palm Sunday and anticipate the joy of the Risen Christ, these latest requirements are so disappointing yet, sadly, very justified considering the rapid spread of coronavirus in our state.

In spite of our building being closed, Miss Lisa wants to keep those tots onnected to Jesus through their special weekly time. So please, if you have tot(s) at home, get them ready for some music, fun & faith with Miss Lisa!!

"We want to respond to the virus pandemic with the universality of prayer, compassion and tenderness. Let us stay united. I invite all Christians to direct their voices together toward Heaven, reciting the Our Father on Wednesday, 25 March, at noon. #PrayTogether"

Baptisms and funeral Masses on hold throughout the diocese until further notice.

All public Masses in our Diocese of Paterson are suspended until further notice.

Last Saturday, March 7th, nearly 70 of our parish leaders gathered for a Leadership Summit in the Parish Hall. The morning’s theme was “Inspire, Equip & Celebrate” and the response and engagement of our leaders from all areas of ministry was enthusiastic and substantive.

Father Jhon's homily on Generosity

We are a group who seek to support those who live alone and would welcome a visit for conversation, a game of cards, a book or bible reading or perhaps a cup of tea, and just contact with another saint on our journey here in the Earthly Kingdom. ..

Our theme of the session was “Why Have I Been Chosen? : Signed & Sealed in Confirmation” in which we explored the Holy Spirit’s role in preparing us spiritually for Confirmation.

We are blessed to be able to offer our parish family access to FORMED, which some have called “Catholic Netflix.”

"As has been my custom for the season of Lent, I am offering a biblical reflection in the form of a pastoral letter to all the faithful, religious and clergy of our diocese - entitled "God's Chosen: The Weak to Shame the Strong."

This past Sunday at the 9 AM Mass, Fr. Paddy officially introduced and blessed before our congregation three candidates currently journeying through RCIA (Ritual of Christian Initiation for Adults): Blaire Wilkie, TJ Tar and Vishal Basra.  

It’s hard to believe its 2020 already! Since we are now about midway through our Ministry year, we wanted to share highlights from our Faith Formation programs, the changes we have made since last year to engage our families, and our remaining challenges as we march into 2020 together.
