Starting this year the Diocese of Paterson will be joining most of the other Dioceses in the country and transferring the Solemnity of the Feast of the Ascension of the Lord to the 7th Sunday of Easter which this year is next weekend Sunday May 28th and 29th. What had been the traditional Ascension Thursday is no longer a Holy Day of Obligation.

Please be advised there is scam going around in which parishioners have been receiving text messages from someone claiming to be Fr. Chris. These texts usual seek to initiate a conversation that leads to asking for money or gift cards. Fr. Chris will never contact parishioners via text message or email asking for gift cards or money. If you receive a text message or email of this nature do not respond. Always contact the parish office or Fr. Chris directly if you ever suspect an email or text message might be a scam or seems questionable.
