During Mass, Cardinal Tobin will also dedicate the altar within the newly constructed chapel. This dedication is a relatively rare occurrence since altars are only consecrated once after being built.

While Mass attendance is restricted at all archdiocesan cemeteries this Memorial Day due to COVID-19, all are welcome to join via live stream on the Catholic Cemeteries or the Archdiocese of Newark YouTube channel.
