EASTER
Jn 20, 1-9
On the first day of the week,
Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter
and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,
“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,
and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.
They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter
and arrived at the tomb first;
he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.
When Simon Peter arrived after him,
he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,
and the cloth that had covered his head,
not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in,
the one who had arrived at the tomb first,
and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture
that he had to rise from the dead.

Each Tuesday Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Weekly adoration of the Blessed Sacrament will be held EACH Tuesday immediately following the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotions from noon to 9:00 p.m. beginning November 9. To ensure that there is always someone in attendance during the entire time, we are asking for 7 volunteers to commit to be present for a specific one-hour segment EACH TUESDAY OF NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER. Since the Blessed Sacrament cannot be left unattended, each one-hour attendant will be responsible to be present at their selected time or secure a replacement. You can select the hour of your choice on the signup sheet in the church vestibule or call the parish office at 908-725-0072.

Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.

FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
APRIL 20 2025
Dear Parishioners,
Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen! Jesus has conquered death—this is true, has always been true, and will always be true. It is our hope in times of trial and the source of our joy in moments of wonder. Because of this, we believe that by walking with Jesus, we will overcome the challenges of today, and our joy and hope will be greater than ever before.
Whenever trouble arises, we can take Jesus’ hand and rise above it. Whenever we falter or fall into sin, His loving hand lifts us beyond it. Whenever we experience joy, His blessed hand invites us to embrace it fully.
May you be blessed to live in the power of the Resurrection. In dark times, may you see the Light that can never be overcome. In difficult moments, may you find strength in God. In times of joy, may you step fully into it through God’s abundant grace!
Wishing you and your families a blessed and joyful Easter!
Fr. Stan

In the face of death, the Church confidently proclaims that God has created each person for eternal life and that Jesus, by his death and resurrection, has destroyed death forever.
Christians celebrate the funeral rites to offer worship, praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of life which has now been returned to God, the author of life. We pray for the person who has died - asking for the forgiveness of sin and the gift of everlasting life.
