Dear Parishioners and Friends,

The Bishop of Trenton, David M. O’Connell, has directed: “All public Masses throughout the Diocese of Trenton will be temporarily suspended through April 3, 2020.  That date is subject to change as the coronavirus pandemic evolves.”  

In response to this pandemic and in line with our Bishop O’Connell’s latest directives dated March 16, 2020 (please see below) and the guidelines from national and health authorities, the Parish Office of Saint Ann continue to be open BUT with very limited staff only, around 1 to 3 people effective tomorrow, March 17, 2020. Office hours remains from 8:30AM to 4:30PM.

In view of this, all transactions, requests and needs will have to be coursed through phone calls (609.882.6491), emails ( [email protected]) and text messages (609.480.0780). If you need to come personally, we ask that you fill up the forms that are available at the Welcome Desk as you enter the FDC (Faith Development Center) and it shall be answered either on the day you come or the next day. The staff of the day will give you a call before the end of the day.

I understand that some of you bring your envelopes personally to the office. Please mail them instead of leaving them at the Welcome Desk as nobody is available to receive them. Thank you for your continued support.

The main door of the FDC will be open from 7:00AM to 7:00PM for your church visit and personal prayer. Tabernacle shall be opened everyday (that includes the regular Tuesday Adoration) exposing the Blessed Sacrament for your personal and/or communal adoration.

In line with preventive and safe health reasons, please know that scheduled religious activities, prayer meetings, ministry meetings, retreats and recollections are canceled/postponed until further notice. Our First Communion and Confirmation schedules remain the same.

Please continue to be safe and well.

For all other inquiries, call our parish office (609.882.6491).
 
Fraternally yours in Christ,
Fr. Leandro ‘Lines’ Dela Cruz
Pastor
