Boland, Rev. Msgr. Eugene M. was born on May 12, 1939, in the Village of Eyrecout, County Galway, Ireland, one of three sons of John and Nora (Potter) Boland. One of his brothers, the late Monsignor John V. Boland (2021) was the pastor of St. Francis de Sales Church in Vernon before retiring to Ireland. His other brother, Eamon, also predeceased him. Fr. Eugene is survived by his nieces and nephews, John, Noreen, Eamon, and Michael Boland. He is also survived by cousins in New Jersey. Young Eugene attended the local convent school until second grade, and then continued on at the local boy's school until he was thirteen. He began his secondary education (high school) at St. Joseph's College, Ballinasloe in 1952 and then went on to St. Patrick's Seminary in Carlow in the fall of 1957. He was ordained to the priesthood at the Cathedral in Carlow on June 8, 19363 | |
Fr. Boland came to the United States on August 16, 1963 and was temporarily assigned to St. Vincent the Martyr Parish in Madison. On October 8th of that year, he was given a permanent assignment at St. George's Church, Paterson. On June 29, 1971, he was assigned as parochial vicar of St. James of the Marches Church, Totowa, where he remained ever since. In 1990 he was appointed Pastor of St. James Church and in 1993 was honored with the title of Monsignor. During his time at St. James alone, Monsignor Boland baptized 1,364 infants, witnessed 470 marriages, administered First Holy Eucharist to 2,864 children, attended 37 confirmations, and grieved with 1,249 families.

Reinstating the General Obligation to Attend Mass
Therefore, we the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey, are lifting the dispensation of the Sunday and Holy Days Mass obligation beginning on Saturday, June 5, 2021, and Sunday, June 6, 2021, Solemnity of the most Holy body and Blood of Christ. We welcome the Christian faithful to return to the regular participation in the Sunday Eucharist, the source and summit of our Catholic faith (cf. Code of Canon Law canon 1247 and Catechism of the Catholic Church, n. 2180). This obligation does not apply to those who are ill; those who have reason to believe that they were recently exposed to the coronavirus or another serious or contagious illness; those who are confined to their home, a hospital, or nursing facility, or those with serious underlying health conditions. One should consult the local pastor if questions arise about the obligation to attend Mass (canon 87). |

Finally, safety protocols (such as wearing masks, social distancing, etc.) and liturgical directives (communion in the hand, communion under one species, etc.) in each New Jersey Diocese remains in place until modified or revoked by the respective Diocesan Bishop.

The Church of St. James of the Marches was established on July 4, 1926 in response to the need for a
Catholic parish in the Borough of Totowa, New Jersey.
Since its inception, St. James Church has been fulfilling the needs of the Catholic community in our area through the celebration
of the Eucharist, attending to those in need and administering the sacraments to all who wish to receive them.
