*The schedule will be:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday at 7:00 p.m.
Sunday and Thursday at 6:00 p.m.

Gregorian Masses are a series of Holy Masses for 30 consecutive days in this instance for the souls of those who died  from the Covid-19 virus and religious services weren’t able to be held.

Baptisms have been rescheduled. If you need to schedule a Baptism, please call the Rectory at 908-464-7600. Baptisms will now be done on the 2^nd and 4^th weekend of the month to allow for all the current guidelines.

We will celebrate Mass this weekend at 5:00 p.m., 7:30, 10:00 a.m. (note new time) and 12:00 p.m. As of now, 100 people are allowed in the church for each Mass. Please wear a mask, use hand sanitizer and maintain social distancing. The count includes children.
The Governor/Archdiocese may increase the number before Saturday, if so it will be posted here! Only 5:00 pm and 12:00 pm Masses will be live-streamed on facebook.  Masses will not be posted to fb after live-streaming now that Masses are open to the public.
