His heart is set on pleasing and cheering the one to whom the gift is given. —St. Julian Page 3 Church of St. Joseph of the Palisades, West New York, NJ Dear Friends, In this life, the end of one thing just leads to the start of another. Lent and the celebration of Holy Week comes to an end with the wonderful climax of Easter. Then our life in the Faith we hold so dear seems to just move on as we prepare to celebrate Divine Mercy Sunday this weekend and prepare for the celebrations of the Ascension and of Pentecost in the weeks ahead. In between the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion for our young people. Before we move on I want to express my tremendous gratitude to all who made our Holy Week such a wonderful experience: those who cleaned and decorated and prepared our church; the extraordinary music ministers; the young people of Paz y Bien and all who made this year’s Passion Play and Stations of the Cross so moving and well coordinated; the many ministers and ushers and altar servers at the many Masses and prayer services; as well as my fine brother priests for their celebrations and preached reflections. I must say that I do not think there is another parish in all of the Archdiocese of Newark that is able to celebrate the mysteries of Holy Week in the way that we do here, touching the hearts and minds of so very many people with the Gospel Message. Thank you to all who helped and to all who participated. ********* Take note that on Saturday April 18th we invite all those who may be suffering the effects of illness or any disability, as well as the limitations of age, to come to a Mass of Anointing at 10:15 a.m.. The Mass will be celebrated primarily in English at this time (in the Fall in Spanish); all are nevertheless invited to receive the sacrament in which Christ offers his consoling and healing touch.

Our Catholic Faith: Comes through Baptism Please share the news: The Lord said: “Go out and Baptize all nations, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of The Holy Spirit.” This is the way our Catholic faith becomes part of us. For anyone interested in becoming Catholic, now is the time to begin learning what we believe. Please encourage family or friends without Baptism to contact the parish before Easter of this year so that they might be included in the learning and preparation program for the year ahead. Citizenship Study Group Are you preparing to take your Citizenship Test? Would you like to join our study group?

Classes will be held May 6, 13, 20 & 24, June 3 and 10. If you are interested please register in the rectory office. 2015 Anniversary Liturgies The Archdiocese is once again preparing the annual tradition of honoring those couples who will be celebrating five, twenty-five and fifty years of Christian marriage in the year 2015. These anniversary liturgies will be celebrated by Archbishop John J. Myers in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark as follows: April 19: 3 p.m.: 50 years (All Counties) May 3: 3 p.m.: 25 years & 5 years (All Counties) It is our desire that every couple in the Archdiocese deserving of such recognition be present at the appropriate liturgy. The presence of a large number of couples will give favorable witness to the strength and stability of Christian marriage in today’s society. Parishioners interested in celebrating one of these anniversaries are asked to call the Rectory to sign up. April 11-12, 2015 Catholic Home Missions Appeal Many dioceses right here in the United States do not have enough priests and trained lay ministers to serve their parishes. These dioceses are known as home missions.

Please be generous in this appeal and share your resources to strengthen the Church at home. Academy of St. Joseph News Please join us as we welcome Most Reverend Bernard A.
