We welcome you to our parishes in the

Alternate ways to view Mass

      We offer this list of links  to online Masses or ones televised,  for those who still cannot legitimately attend in person - as noted Per the Bishops of NJ - below. 
      All others should now be attending a Sat. Vigil or a Sunday Mass offered each weekend to fulfill your Sunday Mass obligation - if there is no illness or genuine extenuating circumstance. 

                                                                 Per the Bishops of NJ

The dispensation from the obligation to participate in Sunday Eucharist was lifted on the Vigil of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ,   
June 5th, 2021  for all of those in good health.
{  No one had been dispensed from observing their Sunday obligation.  }
 "A person with a cough or fever of any kind should not take part in Mass in-person."

   "All who are healthy and who do not regularly come in contact with those who have serious underlying  medical conditions are encouraged to take part in Mass in-person."             
 " Those who are particularly vulnerable to the coronavirus,
i.e. those sixty (60) years of age and over, and especially those with one or several underlying medical conditions, or those directly responsible for the care of those most susceptible - who may therefore not feel comfortable returning at this time, should continue to follow Mass at home via live streams or televised options until restrictions are removed."

REMINDER

Do NOT reply to the any email supposedly sent by the pastor or any staff member.  There have been  SCAM  texts/email that  were "supposedly"  sent by either Fr. Wayne or Mrs. Flexer and occured at different times;  the "Reply To:" addresses were not being directed back to their correct email address but to a totally  unrelated account being used by a scammer. 
Law enforcement was given the info - and warns that such are part of active phishing emails that show crooks continue to try to access personal info or to get someone to send them gift cards, etc.  via email.
Before you might respond to such - contact the parish first.
