Welcome
The Church of the Precious Blood
72 RIVERDALE AVENUE, MONMOUTH BEACH NJ 07750
Please note that on Saturday, we have a 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM Easter Vigil. Some people seem to avoid the 8 PM Easter Vigil because it has a reputation of being "too long." I assure you, that's not the case with our Easter Vigil. While the Liturgy of Light (the congregation lights and holds on to candles) and extra readings adds to the Mass's duration, it rarely goes longer than 70 minutes. Just about any movie you go out to see is longer than that. So, please join us.
Also note that we expect the Sunday Morning Masses at 9:30 and 11:00 to be the most crowded. We run out of places to sit, and so, it becomes "standing room only." To avoid that, consider coming to the 8:00 AM Mass on Sunday, or any of the vigil Masses. Keep in mind that St. Dorothea's can hold 800 people. It never becomes "standing room only." And, you have the same priests and music at both parishes.
