Welcome Back

I, along with the other Bishops in New Jersey, officially welcome you back to Mass! The weekend of June 5 and 6 we celebrate The Feast of Corpus Christi. What an appropriate time to restore our obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. This is a time to reflect on the true presence of Jesus in the Body and Blood of the Eucharist and respond to Jesus’ invitation, “Here is My Body, take and Eat…Do this in Memory of Me.”

My sisters and brothers, let us pray fervently for one another, that we may be the faithful disciples Jesus is calling us to be, realizing that we are each members of the “One Body of Christ”. We are most fully His Body, when we gather, physically present to one another, around the table of the Lord, listening to His Word, united in prayer and receiving His Body and Blood in Holy Communion.

For more information on this please read our guildelines here.

- Thank You and God Bless You.

Bishop Kevin Sweeney
