On Sunday, June 11th, on the Sunday in the Octave of Corpus Christi, a special Mass and Procession took place at St. Peter and Paul parish in Passaic at 3 pm. In the picture are clergy of NY/NJ Seniorate and some parishioners attending the celebration.
Two priests who recently retired, Fr. Jan Kosc and Fr. Marian Tarnowski received recognition and special plaques for their faithful service.
A reception followed. We thank St. Peter and Paul Parish for hosting this event.
The parish town picnic, held Sunday, June 4th, was a huge success. It got bigger this year.
As always, the food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you to the chefs Ed Obssuth, Dave Obssuth, Dominick Bucci and Tracey Banta for a job well done. Thanks to all that donated desserts and homemade dishes to share with friends. We thank those who set up the hall and tents before the event: Penni Lazor, Fran Cuccinello, Matthew Daniewski, Dominick Bucci and those who cleaned after the event, Hernan Patino, Laura Orrego, Diego Ochoa, Iris Miolan and others. I was impressed seeing so much new energy in many parishioners helping at the picnic. Children and adults enjoyed fun and games including a 16’ water slide, dunk tank, “blake the clown”, face painting, balloon twisting, a touch of nature (20 animals on display that gave some educational tips). Many thanks to the Picnic Committee for planning and volunteering their time and talent to make the day fun filled for the young and adults.
Parishioners, friends, children, neighbors and Woodland Park residents all came together and enjoyed the afternoon festivities.
Many thanks to all that participated in any way with helping to make it a great day for all. This event was considered as an outreach program to our community supported by the diocese. As a result, we had people who signed up to become members of our parish and their children will attend First Holy Communion and Confirmation classes.
Prayer shawls / blankets for the sick and homebound were made in the parish hall by the members of the Polish National Union of America District #2 and some members of the parish Adoration Society on Wednesday, May 17th. We remember the sick and homebound and wish them well.

We wish Fran and Al many more years in their marriage and blessings to their family members.
