About 1,200 faithful from the Paterson Diocese pledged to be “Pilgrims of Hope” in Christ on Dec. 29, as they helped Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney ring in the Universal Church’s Jubilee of Hope 2025. He led the historic event, which began with a prayerful procession on Main Street in Paterson to the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist for a Mass that filled the diocese’s mother church.
