“Let your life reflect the faith you have in God. Fear nothing and pray about everything. Be strong, trust God's word, and trust that God holds you close.”
Eve of Pentecost
5/30/2020
Dear sisters and brothers:
Greetings on this beautiful morning. I am writing this quickly as I intend to join in the Rosary of the Universal Church with Pope Francis at 11:30 this morning. If you intend to join visit the Vatican News English YouTube channel at Vatican news.
Even though we were given the indication that it would happen the Governor has not given permission for churches to open. Indication has now been given that it may happen by June 12th. Therefore, Mass will be live-streamed as it has been each Sunday for weeks from the Church at 10:30 AM tomorrow, Pentecost Sunday. There is much I could add but it is not the best way to prepare to pray the Rosary.
So, some words of thanks:to those who continue to bring items to the food pantry or who have made donations to buy gift cards so that non-perishable items can be given;
We come now to celebrate Pentecost. May the gifts that we have received from this most powerful Advocate to renewed within you and may the gifts of the Holy Spirit which you need the most at this time in order to be faithful to Christ overflow within you.
to those who supported Bridges Run which left here this morning with food to feed 300 persons (this is so needed);
to those who assembled the bags and made sandwiches;
to those who continue to support the parish financially;
to those who are positive, hopeful and encouraging;
to those who pray for us, for others and especially for those suffering in various ways at this time;
to Jesus for the gift of the Holy Spirit and the gift of faith.
May Mary, the Mother of the Church, who waited with the Apostles and who now waits with us, be a tender and encouraging Mother as we now participate in that prayer, the Rosary, which brings us to contemplate the life, death, and resurrection of her Son, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, crowned as Queen of Heaven, and Earth, of your life and mine.
Peace,Fr. Richard

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted those living in poverty the most and Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson's 3 Food Pantries (Father English Center, Paterson; Hope House, Dover; and Partnership for Social Services, Franklin) are giving out more food than ever before.
Most months, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Paterson gives out food to 5,000 - 7,000 people at their 3 food pantries. In April of 2020, this number practically doubled, as they helped over 11,000 individuals who are feeling the direct economic impact of COVID-19.
Bishop Serratelli has authorized a Catholic Charities Diocesan-wide food collection in all parishes. This year, the drive has gone virtual, and you can shop online and have items directly shipped to Catholic Charities Food Pantries.
Visit www.ccpaterson.org/corpus for more information and visit www.yougivegoods.com/ccpaterson-fooddrive2020 to find our parish, and shop for our pantries in need.
You may also email: Info@ccpaterson.org or call (973) 737-2077 ext.403 with any questions or to donate food directly to Catholic Charities Food Pantries.
