Revision of the Pandemic Liturgical Protocols

            It is with joy that we announce some revisions of the current protocols for the celebration of Mass during the COVID-19 pandemic.  As most of you know, Governor Phil Murphy lifted the mandates requiring the wearing of masks and social distancing, effective May 28, 2021.  In light of these developments, the protocols regulating the celebration of Mass and Sacraments in effect since June 2020 are greatly modified, if not ended.
            Effective immediately (the weekend of May 29/30, 2021), all doors of the church will be open for both entering and leaving the church.  The ribbons will be removed from the pews, so parishioners may sit in any pew.  For the time being, we will keep the “Sit Here” and “Don’t Sit Here” stickers on the pews, just in case there is an uptick in the pandemic, but for now parishioners can ignore those stickers.  We will continue to make hand sanitizer available at the main doors of the church.  Holy Water will be in the fonts, the hymnals will be back in the book racks, and bulletins will be available at the back of the church.  We will continue to live-stream the 11 AM Mass on Sundays for the benefit of the homebound.
            In celebrating Mass, there will be a gradual return of liturgical ministers.  Deacon Dennis will be contacting the Readers and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC) about resuming their ministries.  When distributing Holy Communion, the ministers will wear masks.  Receiving Holy Communion in the hand continues to be strongly encouraged, but Holy Communion may be received on the tongue.  For the time being, Holy Communion will only be distributed by the form of the sacred host.
            Other revisions of the protocols during Mass include – wait for it – the return of the Music Ministry; both the Adult Choir and the Folk Group will be resuming their ministry of song.  We will be asking for parishioners to bring up the offertory gifts.  We will resume the Sign of Peace.
            While there are changes that effect the celebration of the other sacraments, the one that effects the most parishioners will be returning to the normal celebration of Reconciliation.  Both going behind the screen, and going face to face will be available again.
            Most of these revisions will be in place immediately.  Others, such as returning the Crying Room set up, might take a few days.
            The Deacons and Fr. JC will be meeting next week to discuss some other matters related to the liturgy.  First and foremost, as of July 1, 2021 we will be going back to the planned schedule/location for both our weekday and Sunday Masses:  weekday 9 AM, Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays at Holy Name Church, and Tuesdays-Thursdays-Saturdays at St. Casimir Church; Saturdays 5 PM at Holy Name Church, Sundays 9 AM at St. Casimir and 11 AM at Holy Name.

               On May 20, 2021 the Catholic Bishops in the State of New Jersey announced that they were lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days of Obligation beginning on the weekend of June 5/6, 2021 – the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood Christ.  Responding to the increased availability of vaccines, and the declining number of cases of COVID-19 infections, we have begun a return to some sense of normalcy.  Therefore, the Bishops are welcoming the Christian faithful to return to the regular participation in the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith.
            This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus or another serious or contagious illness; those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility; or those with serious underlying health conditions.  One should consult the local pastor if questions arise about the obligation to attend Mass.
