Upcoming Events/Services

OUR ANNUAL FESTIVAL IS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 AT ST. MICHAEL'S CHAPEL.

EXALTATION OF THE PRECIOUS AND LIFEGIVING CROSS: FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. The Holy Cross is celebrated as a “weapon of peace” and the source of “victory over evil” on this day.  It is traditionally a day of strict fast.  Please use this opportunity to fast for repentance, healing and forgiveness for everyone involved in the current scandal of abuse in the Catholic Church. The Church has abused; the Church has been abused; the Church needs healing.  Due to the shortage of available clergy, there will only be a 9am Liturgy at the Cathedral.  Another Liturgy will be celebrated at 7pm at Holy Spirit Church, Island Road and Church Street, Mahwah.  At both Liturgies, you will have the opportunity to venerate a relic of the Precious and LIfegiving Cross on which our Lord offered Himself in sacrifice for us
