value per share ("Common Stock"), of Great Falls Bancorp (the

located at 55 Union Boulevard, Totowa, NJ 07512.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

          (a)  This statement is being filed by the following
persons (the "Bramante Group"):  (1) Marino A. Bramante,
individually and as a co-Trustee of the M.A. Bramante, DDS, P.A.

          (b), (c)  Dr. Bramante's employment is as President,
M.A. Bramante, DDS, P.A., 659 Valley Road, Wayne, NJ 07470
(orthodontist).  Mrs. Bramante does not have any principal

          (d)  During the last five years, none of the persons
filing this report has been convicted in a criminal proceeding
(excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

          (e)  During the last five years, none of the persons
filing this report has been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a
result of which proceeding such person was or is subject to a

or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to
such laws.

          (f)  Dr. Bramante and Mrs. Bramante are both citizens
of the United States of America.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Not applicable to any shares acquired within the last
60 days.

          Explanation.  On December 31, 1995, Dr. Bramante's
beneficial ownership of the Corporation's Common Stock increased
by 1,244 shares as a result of the Corporation's acquisition of
Bergen Commercial Bank ("BCB"), of Paramus, New Jersey, on
December 31, 1995 (the "Acquisition").  Dr. Bramante received 1.7
shares of the Corporation's Common Stock for each share of common
stock of BCB owned prior to the Acquisition.  Such shares were
acquired solely on a pro rata basis with other shareholders of
BCB, without the payment of any consideration other than the
surrendered shares of BCB which Dr. Bramante owned.

<PAGE 5>
          Dr. Bramante's direct ownership of shares of the
Corporation's Common Stock had previously increased on November
30, 1995 by 665 shares as a result of his exercise of stock
options previously granted to him under the 1993 Stock Option
Plan (the "1993 Plan").  Dr. Bramante paid the option price,
$7.51 per share or a total of $4,994, from his personal funds.

          In addition, Dr. Bramante's beneficial ownership
increased by 2,200 derivatively-owned shares as a result of
options previously granted to him under the Corporation's 1995
Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan") becoming exercisable within
60 days.  Dr. Bramante has not paid any consideration in
connection with either  the grant of such options to him or their
becoming exercisable within 60 days.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

          The increase in beneficial ownership of shares pursuant
to the Acquisition was not the result of any independent
investment decision by Dr. Bramante or Mrs. Bramante, and was
without any consideration paid by them.

          Dr. Bramante exercised his stock options under the 1993
Plan to the extent of 665 shares in order to prevent a lapse of
those options which would have occurred if the options had not
been exercised by the end of 1995.  Dr. Bramante's present
intention is to exercise all of his remaining options under the
1993 Plan and all of the stock options granted to him under the
1995 Stock Option Plan at some time before such options lapse on
December 31, 1997, assuming the value of the Common Stock
continues to exceed the adjusted option prices per share,
currently $7.51 for the options under the 1993 Plan and $11.36
for options under the 1995 Plan.  Dr. and Mrs. Bramante also
intend to exercise the Equity Contracts on or before November 1,
1997, to purchase the Corporation's Common Stock.

          At the present time, none of the persons filing this
report has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result
in an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving the Corporation or any
of its subsidiaries; a sale or transfer of a material amount of
assets of the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries; any change
in the present Board of Directors or management of the
Corporation, including any plans or proposals to change the
number or term of Directors or to fill any existing vacancies on
the Board; any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Corporation; any other material change in
the Corporation's business or corporate structure; changes in the
Corporation's charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding
thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of
control of the Corporation by any person; causing a class of
securities of the Corporation to be delisted from a national

<PAGE 6>
securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in
an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national
securities association; a class of equity securities of the
Corporation becoming eligible for termination of registration
pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; or any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

          (a)  Dr. Bramante is the beneficial owner of 63,386
shares of Common Stock, which represents approximately 3.65% of
the issued and outstanding Common Stock.  Mrs. Bramante is the
beneficial owner of 57,341 shares of Common Stock, which
represents approximately 3.25% of the issued and outstanding
Common Stock.  Despite the increase in the number of shares
beneficially owned by Dr. Bramante, the percentage of shares
beneficially owned by both Dr. Bramante and Mrs. Bramante has
decreased below 5% of the outstanding Common Stock as a result of
the Acquisition.  Therefore Dr. Bramante and Mrs. Bramante will
not be filing Schedule 13D or amendments thereto in the future
unless and until their beneficial ownership exceeds 5% of the
outstanding Common Stock.  These beneficial ownerships consists
of the following:

               (1)  1,935 shares of Common Stock held directly by
     Dr. Bramante in his own name.

               (2)  10,474 shares of Common Stock held directly
     by Eleanor Bramante and thus indirectly by Dr. Bramante.

               (3)  24,335 shares of Common Stock held by the
     Bramante Trust.

               (4)  1,244 shares of Common Stock held indirectly
     by a corporation

               (5)  666 shares of Common Stock owned by Dr.
     Bramante derivatively as a result of presently exercisable
     options previously granted under the 1993 Plan.  The
     adjusted option price is $7.51 per share.

               (6)  2,200 shares of Common Stock owned by Dr.
     Bramante derivatively as a result of options exercisable
     within 60 days previously granted under the 1995 Plan.  The
     adjusted option price is $11.36 per share.

               (7)  22,346 shares of Common Stock owned
     derivatively as a result of presently exercisable options
     under $240,000 face amount of Equity Contracts, held by the
     Bramante Trust.  The adjusted option price is $10.74 per
     share.

<PAGE 7>
               (8)  186 shares of Common Stock derivatively owned
     by Eleanor Bramante, and thus indirectly by Dr. Bramante,
     subject to presently exercisable options under $2,000 face
     amount of Equity Contracts.  The adjusted option price is
     $10.74 per share.

          (b)  Dr. Bramante has sole voting power and sole
dispositive power with respect to the 1,935 shares held directly
by him in his own name and the 1,244 shares held indirectly by a
corporation, and sole dispositive power with respect to the stock
options (total 2,866 shares) which are exercisable within 60
days.  Mrs. Bramante has sole voting power and sole dispositive
power with respect to the 10,474 shares she holds directly in her
name, and sole dispositive power with respect to the 186 shares
owned derivatively through Equity Contracts owned in her name. 
Dr. and Mrs. Bramante have shared voting power and shared
dispositive power with respect to the 24,335 shares owned by the
Bramante Trust, and shared dispositive power with respect to the
22,346 shares owned derivatively through Equity Contracts which
are owned by the Bramante Trust.  The Equity Contracts and stock
options have no voting power.

          (c)  The only transactions in the Common Stock of the
Corporation that were effected during the past 60 days by the
persons filing this report are as follows:

Date of         Number of     Price per        Nature of

                                        Acquisition
