Dear Parishioners,
Ascension Sunday? Somehow that just doesn't sound right, does it? This is now the sixth year since the Bishops of New Jersey voted to join 41 other states in moving our celebration of this Solemnity, and I think we are finally getting used to it.
The change was made in order to give greater dignity to this important moment, and to further emphasize the connection between Ascension, Easter and Pentecost, which were always on Sunday. Honestly, it also makes it possible for more people to be present for this celebration than ever attended when it was Thursday.
Today, we celebrate that day when Jesus, “the conqueror of sin and death, ascended to the heavens as the angels sang His praises.” It was this return to the Father that enabled the sending of the Holy Spirit, which will be honored next week on Pentecost. The Easter Season is quickly coming to a close and the fullness of the Paschal Mystery is being made present to us in these great moments. Ultimately, it does not matter what day of the week we celebrate this day, the important thing is that we believe in its importance and live our lives in the full expectation of our own return to the Father.
Today is also the final day of our Religious Education program for the school year. Our Confirmation and First Eucharist students will lead us in crowning the Blessed Mother at the end of the 10:30 Mass. I wish to thank publicly Mrs. Donna Pietz, our Parish Catechetical Leader as well as her super-dedicated staff of volunteer Catechists for all their hard work and dedication throughout the year. Your efforts will not, I assure you, go unrewarded. If you would like to share your talents in this vital ministry, please contact Donna or myself. We can never have too much help.
Fr. Armand
