Pope Francis Has Died

Pope Francis died Easter Monday at his home at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.

The Vatican announced in a statement on social media.

The Pope died at 7:35 am local time, 1:35 a.m. ET am

His Papacy ran for 12 years, and in that time, he worked towards an inclusive Roman Catholic Church in support of marginalized voices.

Francis, who has been limiting his workload on doctors’ orders, did not preside over the Vatican’s Easter Mass but appeared at the end of the event for a twice-yearly blessing and message known as the “Urbi et Orbi” (to the city and the world) 

Pope Francis died about four weeks after he was released from the hospital following an extended battle with respiratory ailments

Vice President JD Vance visited the Vatican over the weekend and met with the Pope on Easter Sunday

Bayonne Residential Parking Permit Regulations Enforcement 24 Hours a Day Begining May 12, 2025

The City of Bayonne is always looking for ways to improve the parking situation in our community. As the current administration worked towards improving the City’s financial status, we committed to jumpstarting the residential development of numerous long-dormant and often contaminated commercial properties. For the most part, the development of the new residential buildings was contingent upon the developers ensuring that they provided adequate on-site parking for occupants of these buildings.

Beginning on Monday, May 12, 2025, Bayonne Parking Enforcement Officers will begin enforcing the Residential Zone parking ordinance 24 hours a day. For the first month, Parking Enforcement Officers will issue Warning Notices to those who violate the ordinance by parking overnight on the street without a permit. This will permit residents to be familiar with the new enforcement procedures. After this familiarization period, however, beginning on Monday, June 16, 2025, the 24-hour Residential Parking Permit regulations will be enforced, and Parking Enforcement Officers will begin issuing actual tickets to violators. These tickets will include the appropriate fines and, in certain circumstances, may require an appearance in Municipal Court.
