Our annual Nativity Pageant took place during our Christmas Eve Holy Mass with youth participation. The children dressed in costumes to portray the Nativity: Mary, Joseph, Angles, Shepherds, Kings, and a Little Lamb. Families and friends enjoyed the Mass with beautiful Christmas music in the beautifully decorated church sanctuary and altar. We would like to thank the youth who participated in this annual special event and their parents who supported this activity, bringing children for practices. We thank Sunday School teachers Ms. Natalie and Mr. Paul for providing lessons to our children. – Father Joseph and Deacon Bill
On Sunday, December 10th dozens of parishioners attended our annual Christmas Dinner. The children and all attendees enjoyed Christmas music and a great menu consisting of Baked Salmon, Pork Roast, Chicken Marsala, Beef Empanadas, Spanish Rice, Scalloped Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables, Salad, Bread & Rolls, Assorted Desserts.
We thank all those who attended this event, especially the parents for bringing their children. The children of Holy Cross are special and very important to our parish. Santa (St. Nicholas) came with his Elf helper and gave presents to all the children. He told them to listen and help their parents and be well behaved. Lots of pictures taken with Santa.
Forty Christmas flowers were delivered to the residents of William Hinchliffe Manor Senior Apartments in Paterson We thank all those who donated and assisted.

The Sacrament of Confirmation was administered by Rt. Rev. Bernard Nowicki. Holy Mass was concelebrated Pastor, Rev. Joseph Cyman, with the help of Deacon William Gaydos.
We enjoyed the reception after the Mass in the Parish Hall. I thank all those who helped to organize reception and cleaning after the event. Sacrament of Confirmation is fulfilment of the Sacrament of baptism and beginning of deeper involvement in the life of the church. New Confirmands are asked to serve in different ministries building the church which Jesus established for our salvation.
