Now in our eleventh season, the Franciscan Mystery Players of Notre Dame Church perform, "Jesus the Healer, A Living Meditation on Healing." The group consists of seventeen teenagers, two fourth-grade girls, and six adults, and they perform the play during Lent at parishes in Northern New Jersey. The Mystery Players have also performed in South Jersey, Philadelphia, New York State, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Florida.
The Mystery Players represent one of several ministries of service sponsored by Notre Dame. The group's young people have endeavored to develop a deeper sense of prayer while reaching out to those beyond the Notre Dame community. By sharing "Jesus the Healer" with others, the Mystery Players commit themselves to offering strength and peace to all those who are suffering. Thousands of lives have been touched by the play's powerful witness of faith, hope, and love.
