Dear Friends,

First of all we wish all of you Happy Thanksgiving! It is a National Holiday and great celebration with our families and loved ones.

Yesterday evening at Thanksgiving Eve Mass at 7:30 pm we read the Holy Scripture that reminded us to be thankful to God.

  • “Bless the God of all, who has done wondrous things on earth.” (Sirach 50:22)
  • “Lord, I thank you for your thankfulness and love.” (Psalm 138)
  • “I give thanks to my God always on your account for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus.” (1 Corinthians 1:3)

In the Gospel we heard about the Samaritan who came back to Jesus and expressed his thankfulness after he was cured by Jesus from his leprosy. Luke 17:11-19

Thanksgiving is also about sharing with others.

I am glad that our parish remembered the less fortunate of our community by donating Thanksgiving Baskets to local schools. This year the baskets were delivered to Passaic Valley High School and to Woodland Park municipal building where local needed families picked up donations from us and from Fairway.

God bless Adriana Joelle

Parish Life, PNCC /

We welcomed new newest member to the Christian family through the Sacrament of Baptism. Adriana Joelle, daughter of Hugo Carvajal and Griselle (Fernandez) was baptized on Sunday, September 25th. We congratulate Adriana’s parents, godparents, relatives and friends on this special occasion. The Sacrament of Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit and door which gives access to the other sacraments. It incorporates us into the Christian Family.
