At the canonization of Sr. Maria Faustina on April 30, 2000, Pope John Paul II said, “It is important that we accept the whole message that comes to us from the word of God on this Second Sunday of Easter, which from now on throughout the Church, will be called Di-vine Mercy Sunday.” The celebration of this gift of Church begins on Good Friday with the individual praying of the novena of Divine Mercy and the chaplet. Pamphlets contain-ing these prayers will be available at the doors of the church during Holy Week. The Divine Mercy Holy Hour is Sunday, April 8 at 3:00 p.m.

Dear Parishioners and Visitors,

In the brightness of this Easter day, we gather to celebrate not only the resurrection, but the great lengths to which our God is willing to go in order that we, the lost, might be redeemed. Our God was willing to go to the cross for us. You see, without the risk of losing one’s life, the willingness to suffer, and the humility to car-ry a cross, the resurrection is impossible.

From the hopelessness of the tomb and from the emptiness of the grave, the Son of God has risen, and He comes to us this day with the promise of eternal life.

The simplest meaning of Easter is that we are living in a world in which God has the last word.

Our entire Parish Staff joins together in extending to you our best wishes and all of the joy of Easter. Since Easter is fifty days long, we will have many opportunities to greet you personally and to thank you for the life you bring to Holy Family Parish.

We extend a word of appreciation to all who made donations of, or offerings toward our Easter flowers and plants, your generosity in the Easter collection and to all those involved in our Triduum Liturgies, as well as those who decorated our church.

Thanks to all who sacrificed to make our Holy Week as prayerful enjoyable, and inviting as it

has been.

We also extend a warm welcome to those who are visitors to our Parish. We are happy you chose to celebrate Easter with us. We extend an invitation to you to become a regular part of our Par-ish Life. The bulletin cover lists our Mass times and phone numbers. Please visit our parish website or call us at 973-377 1817, if we can help. Welcome, again, and a Blessed Easter to all of you.

Fr. Thomas and the Parish Staff

NEW FLOOR IN THE CHURCH HALL

After 20 plus years we replaced the floor in the Church Hall. Comprehensive Flooring Contractors was hired to handle the job. The total cost of

$23,783.80 covered the demolition of the existing top layer, floor prep., disposal of all debris (includes dumpster), furnish and install vinyl cove

base and furnish and install Forte Classico Plus #107 Bianco flooring.

I am thankful to all who have made a contribution to this project. The church hall is used and enjoyed by so many different groups in our parish and between the new sound system, the new tables

and now the new floor the room is a warm and inviting space to gather, and grow together as a community of faith.

Our next projects: New carpeting on Church stairs, foyers, and sacrisity;

Power washing of exterior Church Building; New landscaping around the Church;

Regrading and replacing sidewalks between the Church and the Convent; Updating of gutters and roofs on all buildings.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support of our Holy Family Parish!

Fr. Thomas
