The Archdiocese of Newark has reopened their doors for Sunday masses as New Jersey continues to slowly reopen.

Churches in the state are allowed to have 25% of the church's capacity or a maximum of 50 people, depending on which number is lower.

This is part of Phase Three of the reopening process.

Parishes in Newark have already been reopened for weekday masses, funerals, baptisms and weddings prior to this part of the reopening process.

Hand sanitizer will be available throughout churches, masks and social distancing of 6 feet between families are also required.

Parishes will continue to livestream Mass for those who are not able to attend the services.

Leaders of the diocese say they've provided the directives, but it's the decision of each pastor to determine the process and timeline for safely reopening their parish.
