Following the Friday 9 AM Daily Mass at St. Thomas the Apostle Church - the Blessed Sacrament is placed into the monstrance. A brief period of Exposition follows, lasting less than 14 minutes. It starts with a song and prayers - followed by a short period of quiet Adoration.
Adoration normally concludes by Noon with some closing prayers.
One can remain for any span of time, and all are welcome to come and stop in before Noon.
Consider coming in to pray for an hour - or just for a few minutes.
Variety offered by Ascension
Starting at 9AM, the Wed. Daily Mass is preceded by offering the prayers of the Novena. Father forgoes doing a homily, to stay within the usual timeframe.
On Good Friday, 2020, at the height of the pandemic, a group of “prayer warriors” began to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy together at 3 p.m. each day--virtually, using Zoom. These moments of prayer have been continuing since then, perpetually.
The time together includes the Divine Mercy prayers, but also prayers of intercession for every need. Members come from parishes within the Diocese of Paterson, but also elsewhere inside and outside N.J.
If you would like to join this prayer group--or have any questions--please contact Deacon Greg at 908-399-8970, or by E-mail at [email protected].
Technical help is offered in getting on-line with either a phone or computer.
You may join us every day, or whenever your schedule permits.
Deacon Greg, though not assigned to our parish, often assists at weekday Masses at St. Thomas.
During Lent, we pray the Stations as a community. Schedule and location will be posted in our Bulletin and here at the time.
