Parishioners, even though the church has been closed I wanted to remind everyone that Mass's are continually being offered. The entrance of the Church is also open from 12:00 to 6:00 pm everyday. I will update the parish website periodically with images from mass. I cannot wait to celebrate mass with everyone!
Parishioners and Friends of St. Joseph's Church!
We have reached troubling times where we are unsure about our present and about our future. Our parish as well is going through problems, and most importantly financial. Our parish aimed for the steady flow of money in through collections during Mass, but during these times we ask for your support. The Archdiocese has set up a website to give donations for each parish so that they can get through these troubling times.
I thank you for any generosity and I am praying for everyone in the Daily Mass.
The Archdiocese of Newark announced today it will livestream Mass again this Sunday, March 29, 2020 at Noon (EST). All faithful are invited to join virtually. The bilingual (English and Spanish) Mass will be celebrated by Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R., Archbishop of Newark, to provide the faithful with spiritual nourishment during this time of need.

In response to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, our Holy Father will give an extraordinary blessing "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) this FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2020, at 1 p.m. Eastern Time (6:00 p.m. Rome time). All the faithful and other Christians in our local Church and beyond are invited to participate in the special prayer with Pope Francis, which will be broadcast by Mondovision and live-streamed on the Vatican News website at www.vaticannews.va. The Holy Father will grant to all participants in the livestream a Plenary Indulgence before imparting the Urbi et Orbi Blessing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fv3HSn_I4uY
Cardinal Tobin has decided for our safety that all churches and parish offices be closed for the time being. If there is an emergency and a priest is needed, please call the parish office at 201-440-3224.
