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."

P.S. Don’t keep a ‘social distance’ from the Lord !

  2.  A Breaking Bread 2022 eMissal App  is available for all  iOS and  Android  users on smartphones and tablets for the current church year.       

   Do not attend in person if experiencing respiratory symptoms { as Flu & Covid have     similar symptoms}, or if you should isolate/ quarantine due to known exposure.

ALERT

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