The revised protocols will be put into effect at St. Michael's in accordance with the Diocese guidelines and in an orderly and careful manner as mandated. The parish's parking lot Masses will continue on the weekends of May 29-30 and June 5-6 and a timetable will be announced for the phasing-out and discontinuation of the parking lot Masses at St. Michael's. Let us be grateful that the end of the pandemic is in sight. May God bless us all.
As Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton, I encourage all our Catholic clergy, religious and lay faithful to sign a petition to protect congressional legislative provisions in support of life: http://www..NoTaxpayerAbortion.com. Please access the New Jersey Catholic Conference website: https://njcatholic.org/protecting-the-hyde-amendment and also read the Action Alerts posted on the NJCC website: https://njcatholic.org.
Please consider writing letters in strong support of pro-life protections to our New Jersey senators and congressmen and congresswomen. Thank you and may God bless and protect you all, born and unborn.

Using the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 Vaccine
The U.S. Conference of Catholice Bishops (USCCB) issued a Statement on Tuesday, March 2, 2021 regarding moral concerns with using the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine. The Statement may be accessed by clicking below. The Statement says in part, "if one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s." The moral concern arises because the Johnson & Johnson vaccine was developed and tested and is produced with abortion-derived cell lines. The USCCB Statement also quotes the judgment of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican that "when ethically irreproachable Covid-19 vaccines are not available... it is morally acceptable to receive Covid19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process."
