Archdiocese of Newark
Updated Directives During the
Covid-19 Pandemic
May 25, 2021 

Introduction
Given the reinstatement by the Bishops of NJ of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and the lessening of restrictions from the state, the following is provided as an immediate update to the May 4 directives.
 
Effective May 28, masks will no longer be required for fully vaccinated persons. If not fully vaccinated, persons are strongly encouraged to follow CDC guidance and wear a face mask in public settings. Masks are still required on public transit and in health care settings, prisons, child-care facilities and schools, among other places. People will no longer be required to socially distance indoors or outdoors, (May 28), although unvaccinated persons should continue to maintain social distancing from others indoors.
 
Effective June 4, all indoor gathering limits will be removed.

Although these directives represent a reduction of pandemic restrictions, the local pastors/administrators/chaplains can impose stricter regulations as needed. These may include wearing masks, social distancing, and signing in for Mass or activities.
 
These directives apply to all indoor and outdoor events.
STATEMENT OF THE NEW JERSEY BISHOPS








Reinstating the General Obligation to Attend Mass in person



Message from Fr Joseph:


It is with much joy that in 2 weeks, on June 6th, we will celebrate the great Feast of Corpus Christi with an outdoor Eucharistic procession. We rejoice and publicly proclaim the great gift of God’s presence among us in the Holy Eucharist.
 
As of that day, Catholics will no longer be dispensed from the obligation of Sunday Mass & Holy Days of Obligation that had been temporarily granted due to Covid. From this day onward, all Catholics will be obligated to attend Sunday Mass (or Saturday vigil Mass) and Holy Days of Obligation- unless for health reasons or other circumstances beyond their control, they are unable to attend in person. Given this, we are evaluating whether or not to continue live-streaming our Mass.

Let us know what you think. Let us together celebrate this Heavenly Delight of God’s Presence among us!

Below is the statement from the bishops of Newark.

In Jesus thru Mary (& St Joseph),
Fr Joseph


STATEMENT OF THE NEW JERSEY BISHOPS
Reinstating the General Obligation to Attend Mass

At this time, due to the observance of public safety protocols and the increase in the availability of vaccines, we have begun a return to some sense of normalcy in various sectors of our society.

Therefore, we the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey, are lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation beginning on Saturday, June 5, 2021, and Sunday, June 6, 2021, Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. We welcome the Christian faithful to return to the regular participation in the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith (cf. Code of Canon Law canon 1247 and Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2180).

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 (canon 87).

Finally, safety protocols (such as wearing masks, social distancing, etc.) and liturgical directives (communion in the hand, communion under one species, etc.) in each New Jersey Diocese remains in place until modified or revoked by the respective Diocesan Bishop.

Given on May 20, 2021, the memorial of St. Bernardine of Siena.
