2020 All Saints Day and All Souls Day at Our Saviour Parish

About us, Events, From the Pastor, Uncategorized /

In your hands, O Lord,
we humbly entrust our brothers and sisters.
In this life you embraced them with your tender love;
deliver them now from every evil
and give them eternal rest.

The old order has passed away:
welcome them into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping or pain,
but fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spirit
forever and ever. Amen.

Sunday, November 1, 2020              All Saints Day

  • 12:00 Noon Holy Mass for our beloved Departed

Monday, November 2, 2020             All Souls Day

  • 12:00 Noon Holy Mass for our beloved Departed
  • 2:00 PM Procession and Prayers for the Departed at Our Saviour PNCC Cemetery (Hamilton, NJ)

 

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

On Monday, November 2nd, we celebrate the feast of All Souls. On the day after All Saints, the Church reminds us of those who have passed on. This feast is an opportunity for us to pray in unity for our relatives and friends and also for those who have no one to pray for them. 

As Catholics, we are obliged to attend Mass on All Saints Day, November 1.

Day after, November 2nd, All Souls Day is not a holy day in obligation, however, we are obliged to say a prayer for our departed relatives, and if possible, to visit their graveside.

Our departed family, friends and acquaintances will be remembered in the All Saints Day and the All Souls Day Masses. 

I hope that you will let us include your deceased loved ones in these Masses at Our Saviour Church. Please download and use this form to list the loved ones you wish to be included in these Masses.

May God Bless You

Fr. Mariusz Mularczyk

ALL MASSES ARE AVAILABLE ONLINE FROM ST. VALENTINE’S

From the Pastor /

Although our Masses are available as multi-platform streaming, I always recommend YouTube as the best audio-video quality. Please click the SUBSCRIBE button and the BELL icon next to it to be notified when the live stream is active.   

You can also watch us on Facebook, and pretty soon listen to our Masses by phone via Zoom.

Please note that the best video and audio quality of our broadcast you can find only on YouTube, that is full HD 1080p. Facebook streaming is allowed only in the resolution 720p, which is 50% less quality than YouTube. Moreover the sound is very often not synchronized well with the video and you can see the annoying delay. Therefore we recommend YouTube for the best quality.
If you use some older/slow computer/tablet/smartphone the lower quality stream on Facebook will be your better option.

Remember, in case the broadcast is broken, just refresh your browser and wait a minute or two, or if it is not working, please go back to our channel and search for the new live video. We cannot control it. All streaming services and their servers are overloaded now due to COVID19.

Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Wieczny odpoczynek racz jej dać, Panie. A światłość wiekuista niechaj jej świeci. Niech odpoczywa w pokoju wiecznym. Amen. Niech jej dusza i dusze wszystkich wiernych zmarłych, przez miłosierdzie Boże, odpoczywają w pokoju. Amen.

NO MASS AT OUR SAVIOR, BUT TWO MASSES ON SUNDAY AT ST. VALENTINE’S

About us, From the Pastor /

Beginning Sunday, April 19, 2020 there will be no Mass at Our Saviour, but two Masses at St. Valentine’s will be offered. One at 9:30 AM streamed online as usually, the second at 12:00 Noon, with or without streaming, not decided yet. Simply the Mass which was offered in Our Saviour Parish in Lawrenceville, NJ will be now at St. Valentine’s, but offered for the parishioners of Our Saviour.

Every pastor assigned to parish is obliged to offer the Mass on Sunday for his parishioners. It won’t be fair to combine these two Masses into one, therefore there will be two Masses, one for St. Valentine’s members and one for Our Saviour. We have to do it due to traveling limitations as well as due to lack of WiFi connection in our church building in Lawrenceville. Until last Sunday our cellphones were used as hotspots for streaming but cellular plan has monthly limits of using it. You understand what I am talking about.

Parishioners of Our Saviour share the cost of Zoom subscription with St. Valentine’s. I assure you you will be warmly welcomed into St. Valentine’s community and let’s join our prayers together asking God for his mercy.

Understanding this difficult situation and in solidarity with those who temporarily lost their jobs, I agreed to lower my weekly paycheck from Our Saviour. Reduced cost of traveling as well as electricity bill in the church will help us to save some expanses.

Holy Mass at Our Saviour PNCC Lawrenceville online streaming Sunday, March 22, 12:00 Noon

From the Pastor /

Because it’s not safe to gather together to worship, we can stream all our Sunday Masses online. Just please read carefully the following instructions. 

All you have to do is:
1. To download to your computer (Windows or Mac) or to your smartphone (Apple or Android) the app called Zoom, or just to open the webpage zoom.us and click on Join a Meeting. Then follow the instruction on the screen. 

2. You can set up your account but it’s not necessary. All Parish Committee Members are obliged to set the account because we will be using this for all our meetings. 

3. For each Sunday Mass streaming you will receive an email with an invitation and credentials. (If you are on our mailing list) Also you can click the link on our parish website. 

4. Click the link and join the meeting. If password is required, please type the password. You can find password in the email with invitation. Password is to prevent intruders and jokers who can attend this streaming and make some inappropriate comments.

5. IMPORTANT! Make sure to mute your microphone and disconnect your video to let the streaming go smooth. If you leave your microphone on, we all will hear you and this will for sure interfere the liturgy. In this case you will be banned and disconnected. In the future we can change this rule, so you all can participate by answering and interacting, like you normally do in the church.

6. Just in case you are disconnected click one more time the link in this email or type the Meeting ID and password.

You can share the link with others. We are limited to 100 attendees.  Please share with me the emails of others who want to receive an invitation for each Sunday Mass streaming.


Younger Parishioners and those who are tech savvy please remotely help our elders to set their computers or smartphones in order to watch my streamings.
All, please make sure that people will know about this new form of liturgy in our parish. If our older parishioners cannot make their devices ready, they can asked their children or grandchildren to help them.
Sunday’s broadcast will be for the first time. Please treat it as a test.  I cannot guarantee the smooth streaming because the Internet and Zoom app are overloaded recently. If something goes wrong please be patient. We all have to learn now some new forms of communication and some new forms of worshipping too. 
If this app won’t work for us we will find something else. My point is, I am with you, and we will go through this difficult time together. You are good people and you deserved to have a Holy Mass on Sunday offered for you and your Families and you have to be assured that your priest in your church prays for you. After the Mass is over we can unmute our microphones and talk to each other. Please feel free to make your comments via email.
