Upon the news from the Holy See announcing the passing of Pope Francis on April 21, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued the following statement in remembrance:Pope Francis will long be remembered for his outreach to those on the margins of the Church and of society. He renewed for us the mission to bring the Gospel out to the ends of the earth and offer divine mercy to all. He has also taken advantage of the present Jubilee to call us to a profound hope: one that is not an empty or naïve hope, but one grounded in the promise of Almighty God to be with us always.Even with his roots in the Piedmont region of Italy, the first Pope from our American Continent was marked by his experience as a Jesuit and a shepherd in Buenos Aires. He brought that experience and vision with him to his ministry for the universal Church.Recently, he expressed anew prayerful hope in his letter of support to the Bishops of this country in our attempts to respond to the face of Christ in the migrant, poor, and unborn. In fact, he has always used the strongest and clearest expressions in the defense of the dignity of the human person from conception to natural death.I last saw him at the Jubilee Mass for the Armed Forces, Police, and Security Personnel. Despite the challenges of his health, he was with us and even used a slight gesture to salute the group of bishops who concelebrated the Mass before he boarded the vehicle to return to Santa Marta.The passage from this life of the Bishop of Rome calls us to pray for his eternal rest and to continue on our path to a deeper union with the Lord Jesus. We remember his leadership in inspiring nations, organizations, and individuals to a renewed commitment to care for each other and our common home.The Bishops of the United States unite in prayer with Catholics here and around the world and all people of good will in gratitude for the life of our revered shepherd. We mourn the passing of our Holy Father and beg Saint Joseph to accompany him. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord. -

The Courtyard of the Blessed MotherThe Courtyard of the Blessed Mother is now open. The beautiful statue has been gifted to our parish by the Little Sisters of the Poor. St. Joseph’s Home for the Elderly in Totowa was sold and the Sisters were in the process of relocating all the contents. We were fortunate to acquire this statue.The courtyard is still a work in progress with a gate to be added to the open end, improved lighting and lots of flowers. Also, there will be new windows and benches facing the courtyard from inside the parish center. This will assist people unable to access the outside area.
With the decision to replace the 6 windows facing the courtyard, the cost of this renovation will run close to $10,000. This project has already received some funding
through the generosity of the Knight of Columbus Council 6100 and some individual parishioners. If you are interested in contributing to the completion of this project, please contact Tom Romano at [email protected] or leave a message for him at the rectory. (Contributions of $250 or more will be memorialized on a plaque by the door to the courtyard and need to be received by March 25, 2025.)The door to the courtyard will be open whenever the church is open. We hope you will visit and find it inviting and peaceful. -
