REJOICE AND BE GLAD
In April 2018 the Holy Father issued an Apostolic Exhortation "Rejoice and be Glad". He focuses on the call to holiness that the average person - not only Saints - can also be called to embrace. In paragraph 76 of the Apostolic Exhortation, His Holiness gets to the heart of what we do - stating "knowing how to mourn with others; that is holiness".
To the families we help in their time of need, our cemeteries are a vital connection to the Church. Often, we are the first representative of the Church that people encounter after the loss of a loved one.
Our Catholic Cemeteries are Statements of Faith that tell the world that Catholics rejoice in the Lord always. Our kindness while performing the Corporal Work of Mercy of burying the dead needs to be known to all. People see our Cemeteries and know the Lord is near.
Our Catholic Cemeteries remind everyone who enters or drives by that there is always a reason to "rejoice and be glad", even in our sorrow, because Jesus Christ has overcome death and eternal life awaits his family of believers. -

Bishop Serratelli made a pastoral visit to Our Lady of Pompei Parish in Paterson Oct. 13, where he served as main celebrant and homilist of the 10:30 a.m. Mass for the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time. After Mass, he blessed a new prayer garden behind the church, which encourages people to “pray for an end to abortion, for women in crisis, for the healing of men who lost fatherhood and for women who are suffering trauma,” according to Father Frank Agresti, pastor. At the garden’s center is a statue of Our Lady Help of Christians with the Christ Child.Read More -

Two years ago on World Mission Sunday, Pope Francis called for Extraordinary Missionary Month to be observed during October to foster greater awareness on those evangelized throughout the world because of the sacrifices made by missionaries. “This missionary mandate touches us personally: I am a mission, always; you are a mission, always; every baptized man and woman is a mission. People in love never stand still: they are drawn out of themselves; they are attracted and attract others in turn; they give themselves to others and build relationships that are life-giving,” he said. “As far as God’s love is concerned, no one is useless or insignificant. Each of us is a mission to the world, for each of us is the fruit of God’s love.”Read More -

Bishop Serratelli has decided to rewind salvation history back to the beginning in teaching his latest Scripture course by taking students on a dive deep into the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament, which throughout, he said, depicts man’s “gradual upward movement to Jesus” as their Savior. Students hung on every word of Bishop Serratelli’s on the night of Oct. 8 of the first lecture of his new Scripture course, “Pathway through the Pentateuch,” at St. Paul Inside the Walls: the Diocesan Center for Evangelization at Bayley-Ellard in Madison.Read More -

Without priests, there would be no Mass and without the Mass, there would be no Eucharist for the faithful to receive. This is a situation faced by many Catholics in mission lands where receiving the Eucharist is often rare. Fortunately, in the Paterson Diocese in the past decade and a half, almost 90 men have been ordained to the priesthood, ensuring the mission of Christ will continue for generations to come.Read More -
