In other words, the ‘Mass Pass’ has expired. And just like that, we can all gather again to worship our Lord at Mass and in church! No more TV Mass from your recliner…

As you would expect in dealing with government institutions and church edicts, there are a ‘litany’ of exceptions as delineated below.

This obligation to attend Sunday Mass in person does not apply to:

1. those who are ill;
2. those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus or another serious or contagious illness;
3. those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility; or
4. those with serious underlying health conditions.

Attached is a link from Bishop Checchio encouraging the faithful of the Dioceses of Metuchen to take action against proposed legislation that seeks to overturn the Hyde Amendment which has prohibited, for 45 years, the use of taxpayer money in funding abortions.
