Dear Brothers and Sisters,

A most Blessed Easter! May our Risen Lord excite our faith as He did that of the apostles and all the disciples that first Easter morning! Coming after the harshness of the past year, and with Bishop Checchio’s call for a Year of Consecration through the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we can breathe the fresh air of renewal. The new life our Savior made possible for us is a hope beyond our own abilities as well as the answer to our prayers. May we continue our acts of renewal strengthen us for the upcoming Consecration on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe on December 12, 2019.

While it is still drawing to a close, there is still time to make a pledge to the 2019 Bishop’s Annual Appeal. Details are easily available on the diocesan web page www.diometuchen.org and by following the link on this web page. We are all parishioners of the Diocese of Metuchen, and each has the opportunity and the responsibility to reach out for so many ministries beyond our local church here at Saint Francis. The dollar amount doesn’t matter! What is so important is that everyone participates in support of our brothers and sisters throughout the four counties of our diocesan Church. Please participate! Please make a pledge! Every sacrificial offering will help.

A Blessed Easter Season to one and all parishioners and visitors who enter our beautiful Cathedral of Saint Francis of Assisi.

Please bring your children to Church for Mass and other forms of worship.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

In Christ’s service,

                                                              
Rev. Msgr. Robert J. Zamorski
