Inclement weather policy
Generally, Saint Virgil's will be open for daily Mass during inclement weather at the regularly scheduled times. However, to balance availability and Parishioner safety, guidelines have been developed to make appropriate decisions during inclement weather.
If Morris Plains School District is closed or has a delayed opening during extreme weather on a Monday through Friday, any scheduled 6:30am Mass will not be held, and the Mass intention will be moved to the 12:10pm Mass.
Parishioners are encouraged to use their own judgement when venturing out in times of inclement weather in order not to endanger themselves or their families.
In the event of a declared state of emergency or travel ban, the 12:10pm Mass will be cancelled, and one of the priests will celebrate a private Mass for the intentions of the day.
In that event all parish activities, daytime and evening, that are scheduled during the closure period are cancelled and the Parish Office will be closed as well.
Weekend Masses will be celebrated as scheduled.
Always remember to use your discretion when venturing out into inclement weather. -

Waiting during Advent for the birth of Jesus at Christmas gives way to an even greater “waiting in joyful hope” within Catholics through faith that opens the door to “authentic hope” in God’s saving work through us that transforms the world and in accepting his gift of redemption in the next life. That was what Benedictine Abbot Elias Lorenzo, president of the American Cassinese Congregation, told priests of the Diocese on Dec. 4 at an Advent Day of Recollection for Priests at St. Paul Inside the Walls: the Diocesan Center for Evangelization at Bayley-Ellard in Madison.Read More -

On the morning of Dec. 14, 2012, an urgent phone call came in to Jenny Hubbard, asking that she come to her daughter Catherine Violet’s school, Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. With reports of a gunman in the school, Hubbard huddled with other frantic parents on a street corner nearby, waiting for news and pleading with God, “If you bring Catherine home, I will be your faithful servant.” But tragically, Catherine, age 6, never made it home — the victim of a shooting that left 28 people dead. Hubbard told her story on Dec. 7 at this year’s diocesan Women’s Conference held at St. Paul Inside the Walls: the Diocesan Center for Evangelization at Bayley-Ellard in Madison.Read More
