Effective May 28, Governor Murphy lifted the mandates requiring the wearing of masks and social distancing for houses of worship. The COVID-19 pandemic is still active and wearing a mask is still an option for those who want to continue wearing them. Those who are not vaccinated are encouraged to wear a mask.
The Bishops of New Jersey announced that the dispensation from the obligation to assist at Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation will end on the weekend of June 5/6. We welcome the faithful to return to the regular, weekly celebration of Mass. As always, this obligation does not apply to the sick or with those with underlying health conditions.
The Diocese of Trenton will provide additional guidance regarding the celebration of Mass and the Sacraments.
