On Sunday, October 13, several members of the New Jersey Area gathered for their monthly Mass at Queen of Peace Church, North Arlington. These monthly Masses are scheduled on a regular Sunday Mass at one of the Area Chaplain’s parishes so that members can not only gather together in prayer but also speak to parishioners about the Order of Malta.

October 13 was especially important because it is also the Feast of Blessed Gerard, Founder of our Order. Mass was Concelebrated by Msgr. William Fadrowski, ChM, Pastor Emeritus of Queen of Peace Church, and Fr. Alex Nevitt, ChD, Administrator of St. Bonaventure Church, Paterson.

A luncheon followed at a local restaurant. We are thankful to be able to celebrate our Founder, not only by gathering together for the Eucharist, but also by gathering together in fellowship.

Blessed Gerard, pray for us!
