We offer our prayers, support, and congratulations to those adults who received the Sacrament of Confirmation this past Sunday. May they live as faithful disciples of the Lord and always rely on the unfailing help of the Holy Spirit. Pictured here with Monsignor Celano are our newly confirmed parishioners from left to right: Marilyn Cardinale, Dominic Basile, Jefferey Douglas, and Evelyn Corrales. Wishing you all joy, strength, and a heart full of faith as you continue to grow in Christ. Congratulations!

Fr. Jerome Ocampo, a native of the Philippines, was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Metuchen on Saturday, May 31, 2025. Fr. Ocampo received his B.A. in Philosophy from St. Camillus College Seminary, Philippines, and his M. Div. and M.A. in Christian Ethics from Immaculate Conception Seminary at Seton Hall University, South Orange, NJ. He has served resident internships in several parishes in the diocese, the most recent being at the Church of St. Magdalen dePazzi in Flemington where he served as a deacon. Fr. Ocampo has worked with both English and Spanish language communities and finds joy in all aspects of ministry, but especially in caring for the sick and those in health care institutions. We welcome Fr. Ocampo to our parish and pledge him our prayerful support as he begins his priestly ministry with us.
