An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy
Sacrament of the altar.
I love You above all things, and
I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be
separated from You.
Amen.

REMINDER: PRECAUTIONS FOR MASS ATTENDANCEWe hope that everyone who wants to return to church for Mass can be comfortable doing so without feeling overcrowded, especially now that the full Mass schedule is being restored.
Please wear your mask so that it covers both your mouth and your nose. The tabs of blue tape on the pews are 2 feet apart. If you are not sitting with members of your same household, you are supposed to sit apart a distance of 6 feet. The blue tabs are supposed to assist you to measure the distance from wherever another person may be sitting. Hand sanitizer is available at the doors ways of the church. Reception of Holy Communion is now at the normal place within the Mass. Distribution is to half of the community at a time to avoid crowding in the center aisle. Please maintain your distance from others. After Communion and the Final Blessing, please take care to leave the church while maintaining your distance from others. -

INTRODUCTION OF NJ BILL TO FURTHER ADVANCE ABORTION SERVICES AND FUNDING
Urge Legislators to Oppose NJ Reproductive Freedom Act (S3030/A4848)
On October 8, 2020, The Reproductive Freedom Act (RFA) S3030 was introduced in the New Jersey State Senate and was referred to the Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee. If passed, the RFA would codify into New Jersey law the findings of Roe v. Wade, meaning that abortion would remain legal in New Jersey even if the case were overturned by the Supreme Court. The RFA would also strip safeguards and regulations on the abortion procedure, making New Jersey a more dangerous place for women and their unborn babies.
Contact your state legislators now to oppose this measure. For more information and to find your state legislator or to view the NJ Bishops’ Statement on this proposed legislation visit: https://njcatholic.org/reproductive-freedom-act -
