On Sunday, April 6th, the New Jersey Area celebrated a beautiful Mass at St. James RC Church in Basking Ridge. The moving homily was given by Rev. Msgr. Sylvester Cronin, ChM and concelebrating were Rev. Msgr. William Fadrowski, ChM and Fr. Alex Nevitt, ChD. We also had the honor of Fra’ Richard Wolff, PhD in attendance.

Our Send-Off Luncheon following the Mass at Basking Ridge Country Club was hosted by Cyndy Fuhro, DM and Brian Fuhro, KM and was a wonderful, sold-out event this year. We thank them for their commitment to making this so successful every year. Our Malades and Caregivers were given meaningful reflections from a 2024 Pilgrimage Caregiver, Virginia Hardy, impactful experiences of Lourdes were shared by Cheryl Marino, DM and Michael Marino, KM. Helpful information was provided by our Medical Director Dr. Anthony Gagliardi, KM and practical tips were given from Robert Laurenzo, KM.

Prior to the start of our scheduled program Fra’ Richard read a letter addressed to the New Jersey Area from our Grand Master H.E. Fra’ John Dunlap. We all were very moved by The Grand Master’s caring message and kind words of continued support.
