On Sunday, April 12th, the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Mia and Noah Diaz, precious children of Matthew and Pilar. Proud godparents were Daniel and Stephanie Restrepo, Benjamin Baldeon, and Ursula Mejia. We welcome Mia and Noah with great joy as our new members of both our parish and our Christian family. Congratulations to the Diaz and Champa-Martinez families!
During the season of Lent, and now especially in Passiontide, all parishioners are welcome to attend Stations of the Cross on Fridays at 7 PM. The prayer will give us the opportunity to reflect upon the redemptive sufferings of our Lord and Savior.
It is with sadness we inform you about the passing of Susan Kornak (Koscinski) wife of Deacon Mark Koscinki, who passed away on Dec. 22, 2025. With solemn reverence, we commemorate Susan Hornak (Phillipsburg, New Jersey), whose life came to an end on December 22, 2025 at the age of 55, leaving behind cherished memories. Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Susan Hornak to show support. In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Susan leaves behind and her impact on the lives of her loved ones. Though Susan may no longer walk among us, her spirit lives on in the memories held dear by her family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness. She is survived by: her husband Deacon Mark Koscinski; her brother Paul Hornak; and her friends, Julie Bair and Fran Taylor. She is also survived by three children by marriage and five grandchildren.
Visitation will be held on Sunday, December 28th from 6 PM until 8 PM at the Rupell Funeral Home (465 Memorial Pkwy, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865). A funeral Mass will be held on Monday, December 29th at 11:00 AM at the Our Lord’s Ascension Polish National Catholic Church (2105 Jennings St, Bethlehem, PA
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and may the perpetual light shine upon her. May her memory be eternal!

We thank the Prime Bishop for his celebration of Mass, preaching the Word of God and administering the Sacrament of Confirmation. We congratulate our new confirmands, their sponsors, family members and friends. I also thank Deacon Mark and Deacon Bill for helping me in preparing our students for this important sacrament.
The Sacrament of Confirmation is the sacrament through which we receive gifts of the Holy Spirit to make us soldiers of Christ, ready to profess our faith in word and deed. There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, strength, godliness and fear of the Lord. Confirmation imprints on our souls that sacramental character which gives us the strength needed to profess and defend our Christian faith. (Catechism PNCC)
The New confirmands were invited to participate in different ministries in our parish such as lectors, substitute teachers in our School of Christian Living, members of Adoration Society and other groups. God bless you all.
