    Masks have not been mandated by the Diocese of Metuchen for Mass or Parish Events, however, If you have been exposed to COVID within the past 5 days, at a minimum, please wear a mask on church premises.

    Below are some good practices in light of the current situation. Consider wearing a mask in the following circumstances:

    • Crowded indoor settings
    • Indoor settings involving activities with close contact with others who may not be fully vaccinated
    • Indoor settings where the vaccine status of other individuals in the setting is unknown
    • Where an individual is immunocompromised or at increased risk for severe disease

    Let us continue to pray for the lives that have been affected by the pandemic.

  • Pope urges people to get vaccinated

    Pope Francis urges people to get vaccinated against Covid-19

    Pope Francis launches a powerful appeal for people to get vaccinated with approved Covid-19 vaccines, calling it “an act of love.”

    By Devin Watkins

    The Pope has joined his voice to those of Bishops across North and South America to urge people to get jabbed against Covid-19.

    In a video message produced in conjunction with the Ad Council, Pope Francis praised the work of researchers and scientists in producing safe and effective Covid-19 vaccines.

    “Thanks to God’s grace and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from Covid-19,” he said in the video released on Wednesday.

    He added that vaccines “bring hope to end the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we collaborate with one another.”

    Vaccination is an act of love

    Pope Francis went on to say that getting a Covid jab that is “authorized by the respective authorities” is an “act of love.”

    Helping other do the same, he said, is also an act of love. “Love for oneself, love for our families and friends, and love for all peoples. Love is also social and political.”

    The Pope noted that social and political love is built up through “small, individual gestures capable of transforming and improving societies.”

    “Getting vaccinated is a simple yet profound way to care for one another, especially the most vulnerable,” he said.

    Pope Francis then prayed to God that “each one of us can make his or her own small gesture of love.”

    “No matter how small, love is always grand,” he said. “Small gestures for a better future.”
