Historic Catholic Cemetery in Colonia, N.J., Invites Families to Tour Acclaimed Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum; 2025 Pricing Ends April 27

COLONIA, N.J., April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark will host a free Open House Weekend at St. Gertrude Cemetery & Mausoleum on Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Located at 53 Inman Avenue in Colonia, Middlesex County — only minutes from New York City — the event offers families an exceptional opportunity to tour the cemetery’s acclaimed Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum, meet with bilingual memorial planning advisors, and lock in 2025 pricing before a scheduled increase takes effect on April 27.

The Resurrection Chapel Mausoleum is a celebrated landmark of the Archdiocese of Newark, featuring two chapels — one for traditional burial services and one dedicated exclusively to the interment of cremated remains, the first of its kind in archdiocesan history. The facility is adorned with 18 masterworks of liturgical art inspired by the Holy Family, the Apostles, the saints, and the angels.

“Spring is a season of hope and renewal, and there is no better time for families to take this meaningful step,” said Joseph Heckel, Executive Director of Catholic Cemeteries of the Archdiocese of Newark. “Our Open House gives the community a chance to speak with compassionate advisors in both English and Spanish and make informed decisions that bring lasting peace of mind.”

The Open House also addresses a growing pastoral concern: cremated remains that have not yet found a permanent resting place. The Church calls Catholics to inter cremated remains in a sacred, consecrated setting, and memorial planning advisors will be on hand to discuss affordable, flexible financing options available exclusively during the event.

2025 pricing increases on April 27. No appointment is necessary, and admission is free. To register, visit rcancem.org/open-house/saint-gertrude or call (732) 388-0311.

Father Barone’s Pre-Planning Video Series is available at rcancem.org/pre-plan. The newly redesigned rcancem.org also features Gabriel, a Virtual Angel Assistant available 24/7 to answer questions about burial, cremation, and pre-planning.

SHENZHEN, China, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amflow, a high-end e-bike brand, officially launched its new super flagship PX series. The brand’s high-end models, Amflow PX Carbon and PX Carbon Pro, exclusively adopt the Ampace 50480 cylindrical lithium battery — the new cylindrical 700Wh battery which weighs just 3.18 kg, giving an impressive energy density of 220Wh/kg. This design shatters long-standing technical limits and delivers a jaw-dropping performance leap: one cell outperforms six standard 21700 cells.

Built for full-scenario, high-performance riding, the Amflow PX series keeps things ultra-light with a 2.4kg frame and a total bike weight of just 20.6kg, making it incredibly nimble whether you’re hitting the trails or grinding out long-distance rides. To adapt to this performance base and unleash the full potential of the model. Co-developed by Amflow and Ampace, the 50480 battery ditches the old 6-cell parallel setups and introduces a game-changing 10-cell custom cylindrical architecture, redefining what high-end e-bike power can do.

Boasting 700Wh capacity, the battery has multiple advantages: three times fast charging with 40 percent higher charging rate for quick recharging; 70 percent lower internal resistance for energy saving; and industry-first 400 long cycles at 45℃, balancing endurance and durability to eliminate outdoor range anxiety.

This deep collaboration between Amflow and Ampace sets a new benchmark for e-bike battery performance. It also marks Ampace’s official entry into the high-end e-bike space, strengthening its lead in the electric two-wheeler market and locking in its position as a go-to leader in full-scenario, high-end lithium battery solutions.
