Dear friends,
I’d like to share with you the results of the Mass Schedule Survey we held a few weeks ago. Option B seems to be what most families prefer the new Mass schedule to be. Therefore, after much prayer, discernment, and consultation with our parish and finance councils, as well as random parishioners, I have decided to change the Mass schedule to the following:
Saturday, Mass of Anticipation in English
at 5:00PM
Sunday Masses in English at
8:00AM & 10:00AM
Sunday Mass in Spanish
at 12 NOON
This schedule change will become effective on July 1, 2025
Thank you for your participation in the survey. I know change isn’t easy nor is everyone going to be happy with the change, but please know my door is always open to listen to you and your concerns. Let’s continue to pray for our parish as we bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Church to Ridgefield Park!
May God bless you & Mary keep you,
-Fr. Lynx
Coffee & Brunch
Join us for our monthly “Coffee &” brunch buffet, sponsored by the

WORSHIP GOD, BE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST, ALWAYS BE HUMBLE AND TRUE
& FAITHFULLY SERVE WITH OTHERS IN HARMONY
Dear friends,
In the joy of the risen Christ,
I greet you with His words to His apostles on the evening of the
resurrection: Peace be with you!
On behalf of myself, Fr. Bart,
Fr. Anthony, Deacon Victor, and
the staff of Saint Francis of Assisi,
I wish you all a most happy, holy,
and blessed Easter!
As I celebrate my first Easter with you, I ask you to pray with me that all the members of this parish and all the residents of Ridgefield Park will encounter the only Redeemer of humanity, Jesus Christ.
And may this parish church be a place where Our Lord will be known and loved by all who enter this humble Gate of Heaven!
-Fr. Lynx
