A group of parishioners from Dunellen, Bayonne, Wallington, Passaic and Holy Cross participated in reflection, prayers and the meal. Music and songs appropriate for the occasion solemnized this event. Discussion on the commitment toward God, family, work, community and in general was a part of our discussion and reflection. Fr. Joseph invited youth from Holy Cross, especially Confirmation Class students, to experience this annual prayerful celebration. The menu consisted of chicken, lamb, salmon, and rice, variety of salads, soft drinks, coffee and deserts. We thank all who prepared this program and came to be a part of commemoration of Jesus’ Last Supper. Thus deepened our personal relation with our Lord and Savior.

Confirmation Class Cares For Our Neighbors

Events, Parish Life, PNCC, Sunday School (SOCL) /

On Sunday March 12th students from our Confirmation Class distributed food consisting of sandwiches, water and clothing to the homeless in Paterson, NJ. Jackets, scarfs, shawls, hats, blankets, winter shoes and other items were donated by parishioners of Holy Cross. It was a very cold day and it was very appropriate to remember the less fortunate of our society. “Whatever you did to the least of my brothers and sisters you did to me” – words of our Savior, Jesus Christ. At the end of the distribution the remaining items were donated to Eva’s Village in Paterson.

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.
