PATERSON At Blessed Sacrament Church in Paterson, eight children received First Holy Communion July 11. The Sacrament was administered by Father Ray Orama, pastor of Blessed Sacrament Parish, on July 11. First Communions and other Sacraments were delayed in the spring months in the Diocese due to state mandates imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic that closed churches. Confirmation candidates at Blessed Sacrament Parish will receive the Sacrament this weekend.
