For those parishioners who have no internet connection at all, neither the smartphone or laptop, but have a homeline phone, there will be possible to join us by phone and participate in the Holy Mass. Simply, just dial the number, dial meeting ID number and then password. This way they will be able to listen to our Masses. Details next week in the bulletin, on our webpage and via email.
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.

The best way to join streaming is to click on the link in each email with the invitation sent to you, or to click on the link on our web page. Then you don’t need to manually add any password nor meeting ID. However, if you prefer to enter manually the meeting ID and password in your Zoom app on any device, you can still do it, remembering that meeting ID and password are always the same for each streaming from Saint Valentine’s in Philadelphia or Our Saviour in Lawrenceville.

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.
HEALTH PRECAUTIONS AT CHURCH Read More »
O Jesus Christ, my Savior and healer, you traveled through towns and villages “curing every disease and illness.” At your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now, in the midst of the global spread of the coronavirus, that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the virus. May they regain their strength and health through quality medical care. Heal us from our fear, which prevents nations from working together and neighbors from helping one another.
Jesus Christ, healer of all, stay by our side in this time of uncertainty and sorrow. Be with those who have died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in your eternal peace.
Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As they worry and grieve, defend them from illness and despair. May they know your peace.
Be with the doctors, nurses, researchers and all medical professionals who seek to heal and help, who put themselves at risk in the process. May they know your protection and peace.
Be with the leaders of all nations. Give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve.
Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions. May they know your peace, as they work together to achieve it on earth.
Whether we are home or abroad, surrounded by many people suffering from this illness or only a few, Jesus Christ, stay with us as we endure and mourn, persist and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give us your peace. Jesus Christ, heal us.
