    • Welcome

      Welcome to the Parish Community of Our Lady of Sorrows. Guided by the conviction that church is the people of God, parishioners of Our Lady of Sorrows were asked what makes their parish special. The responses were woven into the following statement: Our Lady of Sorrows is not just a congregation. It is a family. It is real people who care for another beyond the time of Sunday Mass. The diversity of the congregation is special, comprising diverse colors, sizes, and shapes that fit together. All are welcome, all are part of the family. Our Lady of Sorrows is a very accepting and non-judgmental church where all contribute according to their gifts. All accomplishments are recognized. All efforts are encouraged to serve the needs of the neediest. The parish mission statement is taken from Psalm 87:  "The Lord loves His city...and so do we."

                     There is plenty good room for you!

    • Statement of Cardinal Tobin on Violence in the U.S. Capitol

      Jan. 7, 2020

      Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of Newark, issued the following statement in response to yesterday’s violence in the United States Capitol:

      As I watched the appalling chaos in the U.S. Capitol yesterday, I witnessed an icon of democracy occupied and hostage to mob rule.  The procession of violent images was deeply troubling.  Particularly disheartening is that this event unfolded amid a deadly pandemic, a terrible plague that our troubled nation should face in solidarity.

      The events of yesterday are a graphic exposure of the deep and advancing polarization in American society that has festered for years.                          This divisiveness disregards faith, justice and the rule of law.  As shocking as it may be to glimpse how disordered our nation has become, the terrible truth is that we are not immune from further moral and social decay.

      If we wish to claim it, Catholics have a legacy that is crucial to the healing of the nation.  Our faith includes a commitment to mutual respect, dialogue, and the principles on which our democracy is based.  We must come together as one nation under God, who loves and bestows dignity on all. The person with whom you   may vehemently disagree is also a beloved child of God. For two millennia, our community has tried to live the teachings of Jesus. We are at our best when we put others first, with the common good as our guiding star.

      Let us join with all people of good will in a choice for peace during this arduous time.  We pray for our Savior’s protection and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus, Prince of Peace, teach us the way forward. Our Lady of the Americas, pray for us.

              Mary, friend and mother to all, through your Son,
              God has found a way to unite himself to every human being, called to be one people, sisters and brothers to each other.
              We ask for your help in calling on your Son,
              seeking forgiveness for the times when we have failed to love and respect one another.
              We ask for your help in obtaining from your Son the grace  we need to overcome the evil of racism and to build a just society.
               We ask for your help in following your Son, so that prejudice and animosity will no longer infect our minds or hearts but will be replaced with a love that respects the dignity
              of each person. Mother of the Church,
              the Spirit of your Son Jesus warms our hearts:
              pray for us. Amen

              • A Prayer During the Time of the Corona Virus

                Holy Virgin of Guadalupe,
                Queen of the Angels
                and Mother of the Americas.
                We fly to you today
                as your beloved children.
                We ask you to intercede for us with your Son, as you did at the wedding in Cana.
                Pray for us, loving Mother,
                and gain for our nation and world,
                and for all our families and loved ones, the protection of your holy angels, that we may be spared the worst of this illness.
                For those already afflicted, we ask you to obtain the grace of healing and deliverance.
                Hear the cries of those
                who are vulnerable and fearful,
                wipe away their tears and help them to trust.
                In this time of trial and testing,
                teach all of us in the Church to love one another and to be patient and kind.
                Help us to bring the peace of Jesus
                to our land and to our hearts.
                We come to you with confidence,
                knowing that you truly are
                our compassionate mother,
                health of the sick and cause of our joy.
                Shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
                keep us in the embrace of your arms,
                help us always to know
                the love of your Son, Jesus. Amen .
