Dear OLM parishioners and friends,

I hope this find you safe.

Please disseminate this information to those you have contact with via phone or social media.

Thank you.

Stay home and be safe.

We can help slow the spread of coronavirus by doing this. I’m sure we are all aching to get back to normal and see each other. So, let us cooperate.

For now, we come closer spiritually, praying for one another, for those infected with the virus and for the repose of all souls.

May God’s blessings be upon us all!

Missing you all,
Father Marty

Suspension of Public Celebrations of Holy Week

Hello All,

I hope this find you safe.

I just want give you heads up that in the Archdiocese of Newark, ALL PUBLIC CELEBRATIONS OF HOLY WEEK, INCLUDING PALM SUNDAY AND EASTER SUNDAY, HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED.

Here at OLM, we will do live-stream of Palm Sunday (April 5), Holy Thursday (April 9) and Easter Sunday (April 12). Not Easter Vigil. Just those three.

I will give you more information about all of these in the next few days. In the meantime, please follow this Facebook Page. That is the official OLM Facebook account for streaming.

Meanwhile, please follow Masses on TV or other sources and do spiritual communion and stay safe.
By now, you know that OLM church is completely closed as well as the office, to avoid the spread of virus. (ALL Churches, as a matter of fact.)

Let us keep praying for one another.

Please disseminate this heads up to your group and contacts (emails, phone, social media, etc.). Thank you.

God bless us all.

Love,
Father Marty
