Father Zig will bless an image of Saint Charles Lwanga at the 8 o’clock Mass on Friday morning, July 24th. The image is the donation of Father Zig to the parish. Saint Charles Lwanga is one of 21 Christian martyrs who lived in Uganda. He was a devout Catholic teenager who was burned alive for his refusal to deny his faith and abandon virtue on June 3, 1886. Saint Charles is the patron saint of African Catholic youth. SAINT CHARLES LWANGA, PRAY FOR US!
“Catacombs,” our parish youth group will gather on Friday evening July 24th at 7 o’clock. All protocols will be enforced to allow for a safe and enjoyable time. Contact Jim Clancy by calling the parish office for additional information.
Due to the closure of the church during Holy Week the annual Chrism Mass was cancelled. His Excellency, Bishop Kevin Sweeney has rescheduled the Chrism Mass for Wednesday evening, July 22nd at the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Paterson. Due to restrictions this liturgy is by invitation only. Holy Oils will be distributed to all the parishes to be used for sacramental purposes until Holy Week 2021.
