PATERSON Bishop Kevin Sweeney made a pastoral visit to St. Mary Help of Christians Parish here where he celebrated the two vigil Masses July 18 to mark the 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
During the visit, the Bishop confirmed 12 young people and adults — six at the 5:30 p.m. English Mass and six at the 7 p.m. Spanish Mass — due to social distancing guidelines. Enthusiastic parishioners held signs of welcome for the Bishop outside the church.
