_______________________________
LETTER FROM FR. JOSEPH MEAGHER:
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are Catholic Christians who seek to be faithful to Jesus Christ and to the Magisterium. Yet, we are deeply pained by the abuses and cover-ups that have plagued the Catholic Church over the past 50 plus years, especially in the United States, including the lie of calling this sexually deviant behavior pedophilia when the vast majority of it has been predatory homosexual in nature. We are grieving over the young people who have been sexually violated by some mentally and spiritually sick priests and further victimized by a number of bishops who failed to protect their sheep.

Parish Picnic at Ken & Saneeta's home- it was just wonderful!
Aug 14, 2018 at 2:42 pm
Who would have guessed that on a day of heavy rains and flooding on Saturday, August 11, St. Antoninus would be blessed with the most memorable parish picnic ever?!
Nothing, not even the closure of some roads due to flooding,would stop some 50-60 parishioners from coming to the Ken & Saneeta Julien’s paradise home in Great Meadows, New Jersey.
