Dear Residents, Families and Friends,
This Sunday is Easter Sunday – the culmination of 40 days of our Lenten Journey. At the heart of the Easter message is the summons to a new future, framed with hope and possibility. As we are refreshed by the spring rains and the blooming of many flowers, we see the beauty of creation and all this helps to refresh our spirits and gives us hope for a brighter future.
We are happy to say the NJDOH has concluded our Outbreak status and the Residents, Sisters and Staff are Covid free. We pray that continues.
The Sisters are very excited that Mother General Maria del Monte Auxiliadora will be once again visiting the United States. She will arrive on April 12 and visit several of the Provincial Homes through the country before returning to France on April 24.
Our Residents enjoyed a musical evening presented by “Cabaret for a Cure” last week. The Residents had fun dying Easter eggs and a Jelly Bean Counting Contest. Every Friday during Lent, they have been able to participate in the Stations of the Cross and will attend a very beautiful Easter vigil on Holy Saturday. Easter Sunday will begin with a joyful Mass followed by a delicious noon meal donated by The Market Basket of Franklin Lakes.
We appreciate your support and continued cooperation during this hopeful time and continue to offer our best wishes for a wonderful, safe spring and an Easter Sunday filled with blessings. The Little Sisters, the Residents and the staff of St. Joseph’s Home continue to pray daily for you, your family, and your special intentions.
Sincerely,
Mother Mary Thomas, lsp
