Welcome to  St. Virgil Parish

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.

Text and Email Phishing Scam Alert

A growing number of parishes are reporting that emails have been received by their parishioners, allegedly from their pastor or a member of the parish staff, asking people to purchase gift cards or send money to help the poor. This is a total scam – and unfortunately is being seen around the country. Priests or representationvs of the Church will never contact you by text or email to ask for any "favors" or for donations of cash or gift cards.

PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO SUCH MESSAGES!
 

The Diocese of Paterson has a policy that instructs all of its personnel to NEVER follow any email or text requests for any type of transfer of funds, purchases or sending any form of money for any purpose.  

Any fraud attempts and scam activity should always be reported to local law enforcement.
