What should I wear?

We want you to feel comfortable. After all, we are thrilled that you're joining us and want you to be more focused on the service than what you're wearing. In the summertime, it's not uncommon to see people wearing sandals, shorts, and a shirt. Others prefer to still put on their "Sunday best," and that's fine too! However, we do request that shorts be of a conservative length (no “short-shorts”) and that in general, clothing be respectable and conservative.

How do I get to Madonna Church?

Our parish rectory is located at 340 Main Street Fort Lee, NJ 07024, with entrances to the Church on Anderson Ave, Whiteman St, and Center Ave. Here is a map.

Where should I park?

There is ample free parking in the Madonna Church Parking lot, all around the church.

Where do my children go?

Your children can sit with you for Mass. During the Faith Formation Year (September - June) the Sunday 10:30am Mass is a family mass with more lively Catholic Contemporary Songs and music.

I’m not Catholic, how do I know when to sit, stand and kneel?

There’s no need to be self-conscious about the postures and responses used during worship. Most visitors just follow the lead of our parishioners. However, we do have worship aids (Missals) located in each pew that provide you with the order of the mass, the postures, and the words of each prayer.

I’m not Catholic, is it okay for me to participate in communion?

Communion, or The Eucharist, is the most intimate expression of our faith. Catholics believe that the host is literally the body of Christ, transformed from bread by the priest presiding over the service. Most evangelicals think of Communion as symbolic, so it makes sense that they are not as strict about having the right relationship with it as Catholics and Orthodox Christians who believe it is a sacrament and the true presence of Christ. So, if you are not Catholic, we ask that you not receive communion. However, those not receiving the Body of Christ and Precious blood are invited to come forward with their hands crossed over their chests for a special blessing.

Am I expected to put money into the offering?

If you are visiting with us, we don't expect you to put money into the offering, and you are welcome to just let it pass you by. If you consider our parish your church home, we'd love for you to prayerfully consider giving to our parish on a weekly basis.

You can give by check (payable to Madonna Church) or cash during the service, or you can sign up for online giving here. 

Ministry to the Sick & Homebound?

Priests and Ministers of the Eucharist are available to bring Communion to sick & homebound. Please contact the office for details.
