MASS IN-CHURCH
The bishops of New Jersey have ended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation effective June 5-6, the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ.  The faithful are to return to the practice of participating at weekly celebration of Mass in-church.  As is always the case, the obligation does not apply to the sick, those with underlying health conditions, and those who remain fearful of COVID-19 transmission. 

The Governor did lift the mandates requiring the wearing of masks and social distancing.  Wearing a mask is an option for those who wish to do so.  We did remove all the ropes in the pews, however the hand sanitizers are still available and even though it is not mandated anymore, we will still be cleaning and sanitizing the Church after all Masses.  We will also stop livestreaming the daily Mass, but will continue with the Sunday 10:15 Mass.

2021 - 2022 Registration
Classes will be held mostly virtually.

You must be a registered parishioner of St. William the Abbot to attend our School of Religion Program.  If you are not a parishioner, but would like to become one, please call the parish office before you fill out the school of religion forms.  Thank you.

PLEASE NOTE: 
Many of you have received an email that says it is from Fr. Tom.  It is asking for money or gift cards for him.  It is a SCAM!  Fr. Tom would never solicit money or gift cards from anyone.  Please delete it.  There is also one asking for the same thing for Bishop David.  That is also a SCAM.
