Parking Alert! It is expected the number of cars will be numerous during these days. Kindly consider utilzing the large lower parking lot which can be accessed from Market Street. This will leave parking closer to the church for those who are handicapped, who have walking difficulities, the elderly, etc.

Lastly, since the church will be open all night beginning Good Friday after the burial vespers, all night into the Morning Holy Saturday and all day Saturday, kindly consider coming and making a holy hour in front of the Plaschanitza. This is a very special time and many graces are known to be received during a holy hour in front of Christ's Grave. I am not aware of any other church in the Passaic area that remains open for the entire time Christ is in the tomb. All are welcome!
