“Why can’t we just lie to the media?” Platt allegedly asked Hernandez, in a meeting. “In Jersey we had a mayor who would just make up numbers on the fly, from the podium.” Platt is the former city manager of Jersey City, New Jersey.

Traditional Christmastide

Our Lady of Sorrows, Jersey City

Rev. John Perricone, priest Simone Ferraresi, Music Dir.
All liturgies according to the traditional ordo in Latin
Clairmont Ave & Ocean, with off street parking directly across from the Church.




Rorate Mass, 6:00 am, Saturday, December 17, 2022. The Rorate Mass is lit only by candlelight. Because it is a votive Mass in Mary’s honor, white vestments are worn instead of Advent violet. In the dimly lit setting, priests and faithful prepare to honor the Light of the world, Who is soon to be born, and offer praise to God for the gift of Our Lady. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter, illumined by the sun as our Faith is illumined by Christ. Also known in the Middle Ages as the Missa aurea (the Golden Mass), because of the various promises added to it. Prope est!

Midnight Mass, Saturday, December 24, 2022.
The genealogy of Our Lord according to the flesh will be chanted at midnight and the First Mass of Christmas follows immediately thereafter. The Nativity of Our Lord is recorded to have taken place in the depths of the night and so this ancient liturgy pierces the darkness echoing the refrain of the the angelic hosts singing Gloria in excelsis Deo!. A prelude of sacred music will commence at 11:30 pm by Cantantes in Cordibus, the choir in residence. The choir , accompanied by orchestra, will sing Caldara’s Mass in G, a baroque masterpiece.

Octave of Christmas, 9:00 am, Sunday, January 1, 2023. “Today, the Son of Man is to be circumcised; this first sacrifice of his innocent Flesh must honor the eighth day of his mortal life. Mysteries abound on this day: let us not pass one of them over but honor them with all possible devotion and love.”


Epiphany Blessing of the of the Water, Thursday, January 5, 2023, 7:00 pm. This ritual was borrowed from the Eastern Church which calls it the Great Blessing of Waters on the Eve of -Theophany. It entered the Roman Ritual in 1890, the same year Pope Leo XIII composed his “Exorcism Against Satan and the Apostate Angels,” a longer version of his familiar 1886 St. Michael prayer. After the psalms and the Magnificat, the priest recites quietly, in Latin, the central oration from Pope Leo’s longer prayer to St. Michael, a deck-clearing exorcism that aims to deliver, not a possessed person, but the Church herself from the destructive designs of ¬Satan. Join in this prayer against these days which are evil! The faithful may bring water in containers to be blessed to bring home to the domestic church.


Epiphany, Friday, January 6, 2023, 7:00 pm “The Epiphany is indeed a great Feast, and the joy caused us by the Birth of our Jesus must be renewed on it, for, as though it were a second Christmas Day, it shows us our Incarnate God in a new light. It leaves us all the sweetness of the dear Babe of Bethlehem, who hath appeared to us already in love; but to this it adds its own grand manifestation of the divinity of our Jesus. At Christmas, it was a few Shepherds that were invited by the Angels to go and recognize THE WORD MADE FLESH; but now, at the Epiphany, the voice of God himself calls the whole world to adore this Jesus and hear him.”

“For the Son of God became man so that we might become God.” St. Athanasius of Alexandria, AD 296 – 373

Restricting who gets A vaccine (only restricting the Moderna one for those under 30), and (from the article):

"None of the studies cast doubt on the vaccines’ effectiveness or the benefits they bring by safeguarding against Covid-19 and studies suggest the risks of heart inflammation are substantially higher in those infected with Covid-19. Overwhelmingly, regulators and experts agree that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the possible risks, even in young people and children at lower risk of serious illness, and are urging their populations to get the jab. "

Quote:

However, other countries are restricting who gets the vaccine due to heart-related problems from the vaccine.

Wow, none of this is true. You people are really crazy

For the record I did not write the boxed item (# 20 ), but I did ask the question which was left out:

"What does Jersey City have that you would consider paying that exorbitant fee?"

Taxes average around $4k to $5k for small condos compared to what you are stating.

Sweet kitty with magical, multicolored eyes (one eye is half green / half blue) was recently rescued from the cold streets of downtown Jersey City. Now the rescue organizations, A Purrfect JC and Jersey Cats, need your help to find this cutie a warm home for the holidays! If you or someone you know might be willing to foster, please contact Jersey Cats. Learn more about their foster program and contact details here: https://jerseycats.org/foster/ Thank you!

Call the Hudson County Board of Taxation for the information.

I got a letter from an attorney who wants to reduce my taxes.
It states that JC 2023 Common Level Ratio is 76.79%. Is this number accurate? Those who don't know, the ratio is used to bamboozle tax payers. They assume that your property is certain % or the last assesed value by chabging this number. For example my Jr SQ property was assed at $391.5K. Using this ratio the city is assuming it is worth $509.8K. Recent sales show market value to be around 425K.

He wants to do a tax appeal by charging 50% on the 1st year's tax savings if succesful. Is this something I can do easily myself?

u might try apartments.com

is there a recall mechanism?

We need to vote for Isnel Sanon, Alexander Hamilton and Ahsan Nawaz. They will work to lower property tax. Guys, spread the word everywhere.

I told my tenants increases are coming January 1st. I have a general policy of not raising rents until a current tenant moves out. These big increases is forcing me to not adhere to that policy.

It has been a long time since I have had to list a rental. Since then I left Facebook, where I used to advertise.

What are good sites to post ads on these days? Craigslist is kind of dead.

It sounds like rents will need to increase as well.

No, my former property is on Van Vorst Park, no land or parking.

That's crazy nuts! Yvonne, do I recall correctly that was on 8th Street by the SE corner of the park?

Remember your beloved dead! OLS is at the corner of Claremont and Ocean. There is off street parking directly accross the street.

I checked the taxes on my former home downtown. The 4th quarter is $17,659 and the total taxes for 2022 is $48,415. This is outrageous.

there's a reason they're called "tax and spend" democrats. jersey citt needs some political competition. I can't tell you how upsetting it is to see 15 cops patrolling that pedestrian zine or 5 cops going fir casual stroll ND coffee in the morning. all on taxpayers dime.
