Thank you very much to the Fratelli Quartet for a beautiful and prayerful Stations of the Cross and a spiritual music concert at Assumption Catholic Parish in Perth Amboy, NJ.

During the Jubilee Year of Hope, Archbishop Borys Gudziak, head of the Ukrainian Archeparchy of Philadelphia, invited the quartet to visit various parishes and, through the celebration of a Lenten services, reflect upon and share the reason for our hope (1 Pt 3:15).

Today, the atmosphere of prayer at our Assumption church was filled with deep reflections of Jesus’ suffering on the way to Golgotha. The beautiful singing of the Fratelli Quartet created a special spiritual ambiance that brought many to tears and touched the hearts of present.

Each station of the cross was accompanied by reflections that encouraged parishioners to examine their own lives through the lens of the Savior’s redemptive sacrifice. The prayerful spirit was further elevated by the passionate hymns performed by the future priests.

While reflecting on the sufferings of Jesus Christ and His Mother, the Virgin Mary, the quartet also remembered all those who have perished in the Russian-Ukrainian war. The opportunity for the Lenten confession was also available by a visiting priest. 

This event was a true blessing for everyone in attendance, inspiring sincere prayer and strengthening faith. Thank you to all who joined us.
