PTo facilitate the appointment of a new pastor for Saint Joseph Parish, Bishop Checchio has initiated a consultation process to elicit input from the entire parish community to determine what Saint Joseph needs in its new pastor. This consultation process includes meetings with both parish staff and interested parishioners.
The meeting for parishioners will be held on Thursday, July 16 at 7:00 PM, and will observe the masking, social distancing, and capacity limits which are in effect.  This general meeting will be facilitated by Rev. Msgr. John Fell, Director of Priest Personnel and Rev. Mauricio Tabera-Vasquez, our Diocesan Vocation Director and will welcome our pastoral council, trustees, and any other parish or ministry leaders who wish to attend. There is also an option to be heard via email by sending an email to Msgr. Fell at JFELL@DIOMETUCHEN.ORG by July 17.
All parishioners are invited and encouraged to participate in person or by email to help the diocese more fully understand the status and needs of the entire Saint Joseph’s Parish Family.
Please take a copy of the letter in the back of the church for more information about this.
the diocese more fully understand the status and needs of the entire Saint Joseph’s Parish Family.

Mass attendees are expected to wash their hands at home and bring their own masks and hand sanitizer, which should be used upon entering the church. Face masks will be required for all except the very young. Social distancing will be required. We will not be able to allow people to enter the church once we have reached capacity. 

Out of deep respect for human life and concern for the common good, those in vulnerable groups should stay home and those who are sick or symptomatic must stay home. 

Understanding that every individual has their own concerns or is not able to return to Mass in person, Catholics in our diocese will continue to be dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass until further notice.  No one will be required to physically attend Mass during this period of time.  While the obligation to attend Mass is dispensed, you are encouraged to keep the Lord's Day holy by some other means.  For example, you are encouraged to tune into a live- streamed Mass from a local parish within our diocese (www.diometuchen.org/parish-live-streams)
or on TV.
