STATEMENT OF THE PATERSON DIOCESE SEEKING INFORMATION ON FATHER MICHAEL FUGEE
Without any foreknowledge or approval of the Paterson Diocese, Fr. Michael Fugee, a priest of the Newark Archdiocese, engaged in ministry with youth in the Diocese of Paterson. This happened, as far as we now know, on one occasion several years ago at a retreat house in the diocese while with a group from a parish of the Trenton Diocese. He was under a restriction not to do so without proper supervision from the Archdiocese of Newark and legal authorities. The first awareness that diocesan leadership had concerning these activities of Fathr Fugee wthin the diocese came from the most recent media accounts.

Bishop Serratelli's Weekly Column 
From the time of Solomon, more than 900 years before Christ, Jews in the land of Israel made their pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem three times a year. From the early centuries of the Christian Church, prayerful Christians have made their way to the sacred places where Jesus lived and died and appeared after his Resurrection, as well as to places sacred to Jewish pilgrims. Pilgrimage belongs to the heart of religion. For a believer, it is not simply a trip to a religious site.
This Sunday is a special day for the Catholic Church - May 19 is Pentecost Sunday - the birthday of the Church. Pentecost is an important date on in the Church calendar and it should be circled on our calendars and celebrated as heartily as we celebrate on our own birthdays.
