The numbers were all in and the balls were tumbling as we ZOOMED the reverse 50/50. 

It wasn't quite the same as the last Reverse Raffle but we did have fun. The Hospitality committee came through with hot dogs and snacks!! As we all sat back (socially distanced) and hoped for our number to be called last. The winners for the day were as follow:

10th prize - Pat & Bud Birmingham 
9th prize - Justin Smith  
8th prize - Linda Vaughn 
7th prize - Ann Cassidy
6th prize - Frank & Peggy Ferrari 
5th prize - Diane Nonnemacher

We look forward to a bigger and better Reverse Raffle in 2021! If you want to get in on the next raffle the Santa's Jackpot is coming up soon. They make great stocking stuffers and you have better odds than lottery ticket! Tickets will be on sale at the Parish Office listen for the start date at Mass.

WELCOME HOME TO ALL SAINTS!

Important General Principles in Preparation for Public Mass starting with Saturday vigil Mass on June 13, 2020

1. The General dispensation from obligatory Mass attendance continues. You are not obliged to attend. However, you are not dispensed from the Third Commandment, “Keep Holy the Sabbath”. Every Catholic must always keep the Lord’s Day set apart for God. It must be a DAY (not just an hour) given to the Lord in all our activity.
2. If you are having any signs of a cold or flu, fever and/or cough, please stay at home and watch Mass on Comcast channel 22 Sunday at 12 Noon or live stream via our Facebook page at the same time, or any other Mass you are able to watch.
3. As strange as this may sound, the diocese asks what my parents always insisted on:
   “Please make sure you go to the bathroom BEFORE you go to Church.” The reason being, we cannot guarantee the cleanliness (i.e. sanitization) of the restroom between each use. Bathrooms are for emergency use only until further notice.
4. Please make sure you wear a mask, scarf, or other appropriate face covering over your nose and mouth. If you are unable or unwilling, you are asked to refrain from attendance until it is no longer required by the bishop. Only children under the age of 2 are exempt by the diocesan guideline. If your health prohibits you, you are probably in a high risk category and it is not recommended that you come anyway.
5. Remember charity above all! None of us like this situation. Many have strong feelings about these things. I simply ask that we treat each other and especially our volunteers with charity when you come to Holy Mass, in particular if you are asked to conform to the diocesan guidelines. Charity/love has been a hallmark of the Christian church since the beginning and I have found that to be the case here. Let us consciously make an effort to be extra charitable/loving at this strange time.

We have been preparing for you: Cleaning, measuring, and learning the diocesan norms. In an effort to keep everyone as healthy as possible these are the guidelines we are required to follow:

• Mass times are as follows:
  Saturdays – 4 PM and 7 PM Spanish
  Sundays -  8 AM,  10AM  and 12:15 PM  (to allow for cleaning between Masses)
• Enter – through the side doors of the church only (Depot and Grotto sides, North & South entrances)
• All Saints Ambassadors will meet you at each entrance, these volunteers are there to answer questions regarding seating, distancing etc.
• A collection basket will be at each entrance for your offertory, no collection will be taken up during Mass.
• Hand sanitizer will be available for your use at every entrance.
• Pews are taped off to allow for social distancing. We are currently using every 3^rd
• In the center aisles if you are by yourself please sit where you are directed, (at either end of the pew or in the middle of the pew which is marked by blue tape, 3 per pew)
• In the side aisle pews one person may sit at each end. (2 per pew)
• People who live in the same household may all be seated in one pew.
• At this present time we are limited to 30% of our church capacity or a max of 167 persons. *(with 6 ft distancing only 70 individuals. The number can go up to 167 depending on the number of households that sit together.)
• People will enter on a first come, first seated bases.
• The sidewalks leading up to the entrance are marked with red Xs 6 feet apart. Please use the Xs to wait for an ambassador to direct you to your seat.
• We have all missed one another, however grouping together before or after Mass is discouraged for your safety.
• Father will enter from the Sacristy and the offertory procession will be omitted for now.
• The sign of peace will be omitted.
• Holy Communion will be distributed after the final blessing at the end of Mass.
• You are not obliged to go up to receive Holy Communion.
• The ambassadors will come to each pew starting from the front center of the church; you may exit the pew via the center aisle. (please lower/ remove your mask at this time)
• If you are not receiving Holy Communion and are leaving the Church please exit through the Buck Street doors (East side).
• If you are proceeding to Holy Communion please note the red Xs on the floor and follow the guidance of the ambassadors.
• You may go back to your pew for private prayer after you receive Our Lord.
• Once the center aisles have gone to Communion, the side aisles will be directed up to Communion.
• We ask that anyone who wishes to receive on the tongue you will be seated on the sides so that you will receive Communion last according to diocesan recommendations.
• Once you have made your thanksgiving after Communion you may exit through the Buck Street doors (East Side) and continue social distancing.

*Once maximum capacity has been reached parishioners may wait in their cars and receive Communion at the end of that Mass or stay for a guaranteed seat at the next Mass.

During this winter we finalized an agreement of sale with Hendricks House.  Hendricks House made the highest and best offer for the St John Bosco property.  The sale is contingent upon several things but most importantly that they obtain zoning approval from the city of Millville and state approval to be able to open their state regulated halfway house use.  Hendricks House is based in Vineland and has been in the Halfway House business for 27+ years.  Their plan is to use the rectory to house up to 24 recovering women living in a 12 step sober environment.  They plan to have their administrative offices in the church building as well as an Intensive Out Patient (IOP) treatment facility.  Their program is for treating those people in ours and other communities that want to kick the bonds of addiction.  People that live there have been through primary treatment and are trying to get their lives back on track by living in a sober environment.  The women living in the house will sleep and eat there.  During most days they will be working in local industries.  At night most will attend AA and NA meetings to assistant in their recovery.  For those that need extra counseling they will meet with councilors in small groups to become more comfortable with the sober life style.  If you have any questions about how the facility will work or if you have a family member that needs treatment contact the executive director of the Hendricks House Group, Damaris Pirillo at 856-794-2443 ext 135.

May is the month of Mary. Creating a crown and a Mary altar is a wonderful way to celebrate the month of May. This would be a beautiful tradition to start in each home. If you do please take a picture and send it to me so that I may share it. Ave Maria!         [email protected] 

The Alleluia was unearthed and we can sing out Alleluia!
