Members of the New Jersey Area gathered on Saturday, March 2nd, for a Lenten Day of Recollection at the Church of St. James in Basking Ridge. After breakfast and morning prayer, Msgr. Sylvester Cronin, ChM, spoke on the topics of relying on prayer, living in harmony with one another, and loving one another, all in the context of serving the sick and the poor.

After the talks, there was a period of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament while all had the opportunity to have their Confessions heard. Adoration concluded with Benediction and the day ended with Mass. We thank Msgr. Cronin for the prayerful insights as we prepare for the joy of the Easter season ahead, and we also thank Msgr. William Fadrowski, ChM, for also being available to hear Confessions and concelebrate Mass.”
