We will be publishing a St. Joseph’s Parish cookbook of recipes collected from members of our wonderful Parish. All are welcome and encouraged to contribute. The cookbook will be divided into sections, i.e. Appetizers, Soups & Salads, Vegetables & Sides, Main Dishes and Desserts. Your name will be referenced on your recipe (unless you prefer to be anonymous). Ideally, the recipes should be typed or submitted via email – ingredients listed first, then the instructions. If you are unable to type or email, it can be handwritten but it must be legible.

Recipes should be submitted to Gale Tedeschi at gtedeschi@optonline.net or call/text 973.896.2574 to arrange to give her a handwritten recipe. Or you can reach out to Lois Moeller at grandmaloee@msn.com or call/text 201.572.1646. The goal is to publish the cookbook by Summer 2025 and have it available for sale at September’s Lincoln Park Day so we should receive your submission(s) by April 1.

The Christmas wafers are available in the back of the church for those who observe the ritual of breaking and sharing the wafers right before the Christmas Eve meal.

Donations for the Fr. English Food Pantry in Paterson include cereal, peanut butter, tuna fish, rice, beans and soup. Kindly place your donations in the back of the church. Thank you.

Pope Francis encourages all Catholics to celebrate and participate in the Jubilee of Hope throughout the year of 2025. Each parish/institution of the Diocese of Paterson will be represented at the opening Mass at the Cathedral on Dec. 29, 2024, with Bishop Kevin Sweeney. A pilgrimage to Rome and a local pilgrimage will be made available for all parishioners. For details about the opening Mass, the pilgrimages, and to learn about the many Jubilee events that will be happening in our diocese, please visit the diocesan homepage at www.rcdop.org
