Governor Murphy announced in his executive order 242 that he is lifting most of the restrictions imposed to control the spread of Covid-19. The following guidelines are issued for the Diocese of Metuchen:

LITURGICAL CELEBRATIONS Beginning on Friday, May 28th, the faithful participating in Mass, pursuant to CDC guidelines are no longer required to wear masks. No one should be challenged concerning this policy as the CDC regulations are widely published - please make sure your ushers are aware of this policy. At the discretion of pastors, all pews may be opened for seating. In addition, all social distancing requirements are lifted for celebrations that take place in the parish church. Beginning on Friday, June 4th, parishes may return to full capacity for seating. It is recommended that a section of pews be designated for those who would prefer to keep a greater distance. All ministries may return to full service - altar servers, lectors, ushers, greeters and Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. Altar servers under the age of 12 should wear masks pursuant to the CDC guidelines. Ushers may take up the offertory collection at the proper time and the procession to present the gifts of bread and wine can be resumed. The invitation to share the Sign of Peace will continue - but it should be encouraged that it is not necessary for the faithful to share hands as there are other ways to offer the Sign of Peace or those present may choose to do so only with their immediate relatives. The distribution of Holy Communion is to be returned to its proper place within the Communion Rite, but the Precious Blood is not to be distributed to the faithful at this time.
PARISH MEETINGS Beginning on Friday, May 28th, masks are not longer necessary to wear (pursuant to CDC guidelines) for indoor meetings nor are they required to maintain social distancing. Beginning on Friday, June 4th, all indoor limits for meetings are lifted.
OUTDOOR EVENTS All limits on outdoor gatherings were lifted on May 19th and beginning on Friday, May 28th, all social distancing requirements are likewise lifted. Masks are not required (pursuant to CDC guidelines). No one should be challenged in regard to this policy
