ARCHDIOCESE OF NEWARK
What to Expect When Public Mass Resumes (edited) May 11, 2020
As painful as the decision was to suspend all public Masses in the Archdiocese of Newark, during the Covid 19 pandemic, the process was straight-forward and necessary for the common good. As we see numbers flatten and decrease, we are beginning to sense the situation improving. In the interest of the common good, we do not want to contribute to a second wave that could disrupt our liturgical life. As health restrictions are eased and we are able to start gathering together again, it is important for everyone to accept that things will not immediately go back to life before the Corona virus. Health experts and civic leaders are currently determining new guidelines and restrictions for the next weeks and months, and at the same time the Archdiocese of Newark is planning for how public worship will be celebrated with respect to any new regulations. We know the desire to return to your parishes, participate in the liturgy, and receive the Eucharist is incredibly strong, but we ask that everyone approach this reopening with a patient, loving and charitable mindset. The specific details of when public Mass will resume and how it will be celebrated are still being determined, but the return will occur through a three-phase gradual process. Each phase will be rolled out with specific dates and
directives to follow determined by Archdiocesan leaders.
Phase 1. Churches will first be opened for personal prayer only. Individuals and families can come to church for quiet prayer, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation may be celebrated if social distancing can be maintained and masks are worn. Phase 2. Following on Phase 1, churches will be permitted to celebrate public weekday Masses and funerals with very specific restrictions, such as the strict practice of social distancing, use of masks and limited number of people present. Phase 3. Following Phase 1 and 2, churches will be permitted to celebrate Sunday Mass publicly with the obligatory practice of social distancing, use of masks and limited number of people present. All other sacraments will resume according to the directives during Phase 3.
Five Things to Be Mindful of During the Return Process 1. A general dispensation from the Sunday obligation will remain until further notice. The dispensation for
the obligation to attend Mass will remain in effect. No one will be required to attend Mass when public celebra-tions resume. Hence, live stream Masses for parishioners at home will continue.
2. Attendance will be limited. We know restrictions will remain on holding large gatherings, so we are working with parishes to determine the best way to ensure safety. Communications will come from the parish so parish-ioners will know how many people can attend any given Mass. It is likely that all parishioners may not be able to attend Mass regularly at first.
3. Social Distancing will be practiced. Expect that your parish will have pews/rows that are taped off, and that households, even of one individual, will be asked to keep six feet of separation from each other. No one will be admitted without a mask. Parishioners should take their temperature before coming to Mass. Anyone with any symptoms of sickness must stay home.
4. Liturgical changes will be in place. Similar to protocols established when churches were closing, extra pre-cautions will be taken. Temporary adjustments will be made to how we celebrate Mass and receive Commun-ion.
5. There still will be a risk for anyone who attends a public Mass. Even with best health practices
and strict social distancing, anyone who enters a public space should recognize there is a risk of
contracting the coronavirus. Improved cleaning will occur at our churches, but no one should
expect that they will be any safer from germs than in other public spaces.
Finally, we should recognize that this is a unique time and we need to continue to work together to make progress. There will be challenges and frustration. You may not be able to attend Mass at your parish the first few weeks it re-sumes. However, we believe these guidelines are a call to love our neighbors. If we all work together, we can incrementally expand our options and increase our participation in the liturgy. However, if we look for ways to get around the regulations, we will likely contribute to the sickness and death of others, creating situations that force us to take steps back. Each of us is called to be faithful members of the Body of Christ as we im-plement the reopening of our churches. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do in our parish communities.

Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who, before ascending into heaven, did promise to send the Holy
Ghost to finish Thy work in the souls of Thy Apostles and Disciples, deign to grant the
same Holy Spirit to me, that He may perfect in my soul the work of Thy grace and Thy
love.
Grant me the Spirit of Wisdom that I may despise the
perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal,
the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten my
mind with the light of Thy divine truth,
the Spirit of Counsel that I may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining
Heaven,
the Spirit of Fortitude that I may bear my cross with Thee, and that I may overcome with courage all the obstacles that oppose
my salvation,
the Spirit of Knowledge that I may know God and know myself and grow perfect in the sci-
ence of the Saints,
the Spirit of Piety that I may find the service of God sweet and amiable,
the Spirit of Fear that I may be filled with a
loving reverence towards God, and may dread in any way to displease Him.
Mark me, dear Lord, with the sign of Thy
true disciples and animate me in all things with Thy Spirit.
Amen.
