Easter Sunday Mass

Bishop Serratelli celebrates Easter Mass in St. Michael’s Church in Netcong

NETCONG  Bishop Serratelli celebrated the 10:30 a.m. Mass on Easter, April 5 in St. Michael Church here. Easter, the chief feast of the Church’s ecclesiastical year, commemorates the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.

The date of Easter is calculated by lunar cycles — it is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring — because Christ’s death and Resurrection were linked to the Passover, a feast calculated according to the Jewish lunar calendar.
