Divine Mercy Parish

Check out the latest updates from the Archdiocese of Newark

• Upon the direction of Cardinal Tobin, the church will be open for daily Masses only at 12:00 PM beginning June 15, 2020. Phase 3 is set to begin at the Saturday Vigil Mass on June 20, 2020. Please be aware of the following guidelines for Phase 3.
  • As we transition to Phase 3, the maximum number of participants inside the church shall be adjusted to a maximum of 70 parishioners for all Masses (weekend and weekdays). Once the maximum allowable number of people within the church has been reached, the church will be closed for entry.
  • The parishioner limits for each phase also applies to the number of people allowed inside the church for funerals, weddings and baptisms.
  • All participants should maintain social distancing (six feet part) inside the church at all times. If you all belong to the same household, you may sit next to each other while keeping the six feet distance to adjacent parishioners.
  • All people should wear face mask at all times inside the church. You will not be allowed inside the church without face mask.
  • There will be no shaking of hands or any physical contact with other people within the church.
  • Communion by the hand is the preferred method of receiving the Eucharist to prevent the virus spread. We will appreciate if you will abide by this rule. The Precious Blood will not be distributed at this time.
  • The only Masses that will be livestreamed on our Facebook page are the 11:00am Sunday Mass and the 12:30pm Spanish Mass for the benefit of those still unable to come to church.
• Dispensation from Sunday Mass obligation is still in force for those that are unable to come to church.
• Baptisms at this time will be held on Saturdays only (12:00pm, 1:00pm or 2:00pm). Weddings during this time will be held only on Friday 2:00pm or 4:00pm, Saturdays at 1:00pm, Sundays at 5pm (except on the 3rd Sunday of each month). Baptism classes will start on July 8, 2020 and every second Wednesday thereafter. Please check our Baptism page for details.
• In light of the COVID pandemic, being mindful of the limited access some families may have, as well as the financial burdens since many may have experienced job loss at this time, we are extending the CCD early bird registration deadline from May 31 to June 30. La luz de la pandemia de COVID, teniendo en cuenta el acceso limitado que pueden tener algunas familias, así como las cargas financieras, ya que muchas personas pueden haber experimentado la pérdida del empleo en este momento, estamos extendiendo el plazo de inscripción anticipada de CCD del 31 de Mayo al 30 de Junio.
• Cardinal Tobin's Sunday Masses are livestreamed via Youtube starting at 12:00PM. Cardinal Tobin also addressed the death of George Floyd and the national protests that ensued in a statement to the entire diocese.
