To the Editor:
On behalf of the parish family of St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to the following people who helped to make our October 5 Liturgy of Thanksgiving for the Beatification of Blessed Miriam Teresa Demjanovich such a blessed day: Bishop Kurt Burnette of our Byzantine Ruthenian Catholic Eparchy of Passaic; Bishop Thomas Donato of the Archdiocese of Newark; visiting clergy of the Byzantine and Roman Rites; the Sisters of Charity and Sisters of St. Basil the Great; His Honor, Mayor Jim Davis of Bayonne and City Councilman Tom Cotter; The Knights of Columbus Bayonne Council; the members of Bayonne PAL Elite Cheerleading; and finally, the parishioners of St. John’s and all visiting faithful, all of whom brought their prayerful presence to our church that day. May God bless our entire community, through the prayers of Blessed Miriam Teresa Demjanovich!
