SUNDAY SUMMER MASS SCHEDULE
8:30 & 11:00 am Sunday Masses return Memorial Day weekend (May 28) through Labor Day weekend
 (Sept. 3).
“THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, AMEN.”
June 10/11 is the “Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ”. Bishop Sweeney has announced this to be the return of the sharing of the “Blood of Christ” from the “ministers of the Cup.” After each recipient the minister, using the open purification, will carefully wipe the rim of the Cup and turn it for the next recipient. (The procession pattern will change: the 2 cup ministers will stand on the beginning of the 2 side aisles which will now be “one way” – returning to your seats.  The 2 farthest side aisles and the Middle aisle will be used to approach the ministers of the “Body of Christ.”)
Special Note: Face masks will become ”optional” for all Communion ministers beginning that weekend.

As the Church we offer prayers and rituals from the first sign of illness through the burial rites.
The 3 Key opportunities are:

1. At the time of visitation with families in the funeral home;
2. The Funeral Mass; and,
3. At the place of interment.

“Lazarus Ministers” will be  trained to go out in pairs to provide the Prayer Service(Wake) at the funeral home (1) and offer the committal prayers at the place of interment (3).Deacon Ray Latour and Deacon Rich Reck and our Bereavement Minister Cindy Novak are able to provide much guidance from their training and experiences as well.Please contact Fr. Tarantino at 973-895-4224 x112 or fr.tarantino@resurrectionparishnj.org

“ACOLYTE” MINISTRY
“Acolytes”(ages 18-60) will be trained to be present and assist the Presider at weekend Masses whenever a Deacon is not present.  This ministry involves knowledge of how to open and close the parish building; understanding the workings of the HVAC in the building; and, assisting the Presider in non-deaconal functions.  They will not serve as Ushers, Readers, or Eucharistic Ministers at that same Liturgy.
Please contact Fr. Tarantino at fr.tarantino@resurrectionparishnj.org or 973-895-4224 x112
