Parish History

“The Church of the Precious Blood stands as the center of the Monmouth Beach Community and its history reflects a wonderful spirit exhibited even to this day in the inhabitants of the community.” Fr. Bob Kaeding, Pastor

During the golden era of the North Jersey Shore when the Long Branch area was the summer home of seven US Presidents and the Patten Steamboat Line and the Central Railroad of New Jersey were established, Monmouth Beach became the summer home of affluent people.

Greetings.

 

By now, I'm sure you've heard the news of the passing of Pope Francis. 

 

Francis's official Funeral Liturgy in Rome will be sometime between this coming Friday to Sunday. The exact date and time will be decided by the College of Cardinals soon when they meet.


The official mourning period is nine days, lasting until a week from Wednesday, April 30.


We will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Francis at all the weekend Masses this coming weekend, both the vigil on Saturday, April 26, and the Sunday Masses on Sunday, April 27. These Masses satisfy the Sunday Obligation. This is what we did in our diocese at the passing of John Paul II. 


For more information please see the U.S. Bishop's web page at: Pope Francis.


Eternal Light shine upon him, O Lord, and may he rest in peace.

 

And the Peace of Christ be with you all. -Fr. Mike
