On Sunday Sept. 18, 2016 the NY/NJ Seniorate Adoration Society (ANS) held the annual convention at our parish.

The delegates came from SS. Peter and Paul Parish in Passaic with their Pastor, Very Rev. Stanley Skrzypek, Holy Name of Jesus, Passaic, NJ with Rev. Marian Tarnowski, delegates from Transfiguration of Our Lord Parish in Wallington, NJ and the host members of our parish ANS with Fr. Joseph.

The meeting began with the prayer service in the church with the exposition and the Litany of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Fr. Joseph led the service and in his sermon he spoke about the importance of the Holy Eucharist which we have the privilege to venerate and receive in the Holy Communion. Altar server was Gabriela Rotsaert.

The meeting continued in the parish hall with reports from ANS activities in different parishes, election of officers for year 2016-2017, Oath of the new members, prayers for the deceased members and the meeting was concluded with dinner and refreshments.

Before the election of officers, the Vice-President Alice Kriskewic asked to be replaced by the new officer. We thanked Alice for many years of her dedication and service. We thanked also Mrs. Stella Zak who recently stepped down from her 15 years of service as the recording secretary.

The new NY/NJ ANS officers elected are:

• President – Marcia Del Greco
• Vice president – Alexandra (Penni) Lazor
• Financial Secretary – Basia Puzak
• Recording Secretary – Susan Pelak

The next year’s convention will take place on Sunday, September 24, 2017 in Wallington, NJ at 3 pm.
