April 19, 2020, is the First Sunday of Easter or Sunday of Divine Mercy. The readings are HERE.
A link describing Sr. Faustina and Pope St. John Paul II with the establishment of the Sunday of Divine Mercy is linked HERE.

This Sunday has also been known as Low Sunday, Dominica in Albis Depositis (Sunday with the white baptismal garments put aside), Thomas Sunday (because of the Gospel reading), and Quasimodo Sunday. The Latin Introit begins with Quasimodo (As if newborn babes ...). In Victor Hugo's novel, Notre-Dame de Paris, the archdeacon there finds the abandoned infant on this Sunday, and names him Quasimodo.

A hymn for church unity
On Holy Thursday, 2020, I watched and prayed along with Cardinal Timothy Dolan at the 5:30 p.m. Eucharist from St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York. Early during the Mass, the hymn, "Lord, who at thy First Eucharist Did pray" was sung by a cantor in a very empty cathedral, empty because of the gathering limitations of the Coronavirus pandemic.

This hymn for Eucharistic Unity was written by a member of the Church of England, namely William Harry Turton, 1856-1938. The lyrics can be seen and the hymn heard on YouTube HERE.

Antoinette Bosco, writer at The Long Island Catholic
Antoinette Bosco, who worked at The Long Island Catholic for at least ten years and was a prolific writer, passed away on March 20, 2020. Her obituary is linked HERE. Her personal homepage, listing the books she wrote, is linked HERE.

I have not figured out the succession of editors or their titles at The Long Island Catholic when it was an informative weekly broadsheet from about 1962 to 2012. I think Mrs. Bosco worked there while Msgr. Daniel Hamilton was editor-in-chief. The editors I recall were Fr. Paul McKeever (1967-1975, according to his 1988 obituary in the New York Times), Msgr. Hamilton (probably 1975 until he was appointed pastor in Lindenhurst in 1985), perhaps Peter Feuerherd, perhaps Rick Hinshaw.
