St Michael Church

The following are a summary of the Diocesan Guidelines and Directives for the re-opening of parishes as they relate to our parish here in Netcong.
 
1. The dispensation from the obligation to participate in Sunday and Holy Day Masses remains in effect until further notice.

2. Those who are particularly vulnerable, those sixty (60) years of age and over, and especially those with one or several underlying medical conditions, should stay at home.

3. A person with a cough or fever of any kind should stay home to protect the health of others.

4. No group for any celebration of the Mass, sacraments, and funerals should be larger than 25% of the total seating capacity within the Church; for our parish it is seventy-five (75) persons.
 
5. All hymnals and missalettes should be removed from the church pews.

6. Hand sanitizers will be  available at the entrance into the church.

7. All persons over the age of 2 should wear face masks.

9. Only one entrance/door should be open for each building; please use the door closest to the chapel.
 
10. All people inside the church must practice social distancing by keeping 6 feet from other persons. People in the same household do not have to follow the social distancing guidelines, but must keep 6 feet from all those not in their household.
