The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ—Manna in the desert, water from a rock, bread, wine. God provides food to nourish our bodies and our souls, to bring us into union with the Divine. This is what we celebrate on this So-lemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The Israelites who journeyed through the desert for forty years knew physical hunger, but they were also hungry for more—they needed to know that God was with them as they made their way through the dangerous desert. We too experience hunger. We need to be assured that the Lord is with us as we navigate the circumstances of our lives, some of which feel dangerous, if not to our bodies, certainly to our spirit. Our participation in the Eucha-rist provides this assurance and more: fed with Christ’s Body and Blood, we are drawn into com-munion with Christ and one another.
Baptized in the Lord: Alexandra Elaine Larkin Cayden Joseph Dusch
Let us remember in our prayers the newly baptized, the parents and the godparents as together they begin their journey with Christ.
PRE-BAPTISM CLASS is required for fir st-time parents. Parents are asked to call Patty Schwerin at 412-563-0858 to register and arrange for a scheduled time for this class.
BAPTISM SCHEDULING while in transition to reo-pening church, Baptisms will be scheduled on Saturdays. We are only permitted to do one child/family at a time with no more than 25 people in attendance and with social distancing being observed.
GODPARENT/SPONSOR REQUIREMENTS—The Catholic Church guidelines to be a sponsor and godparent mandate a registered, active parishioner who is baptized, confirmed and practicing the Catholic faith and is at least 16 years old. To be active one must attend Mass on a regular basis. When you meet the require-ments, you will need a Sponsor Letter to present to the parish where the sacrament will be received.
REMEMBRANCE: Our prayers and sympathy are extended to the family and friends of those who have passed away this past week:
Ruben Rodriguez, Sr. John S. O’Patchen, Sr.
Joseph Crowley May he rest in heavenly peace of Christ
PARISH NEWS
UPDATE ON PARISH MASSES
Weekday and Weekend MASSES We have reached the Green Stage in the State of Pennsylvania. With this we are per-mitted to open our churches for up to 25% capacity while keeping 6 feet of distance be-tween people. Because of the requirement to sanitize be-tween Masses, we had to move some of our Mass times to make this work. (Please see page 4 for the new Mass times and places. We will continue to live stream 4:00pm Mass, and we will livestream our Spanish 1:00PM Sunday Mass. ALL those attending Mass must wear a face mask. (Children 2 and under are exempt.) Attending large gathering such as Mass is still not recommended for those with a com-promised immune system, have trouble breathing, are elderly, or are in a weakened state. We ask you to continue to watch Mass from home. Offertory Collection will not be taken up by Ushers. A Basket will be at the doors of the Church in order to practice social distancing. ____________________________________ CONFESSIONS: are available at: St. Catherine’s—Saturdays from Noon –12:30PM. St. Pius X—Wednesdays from 6:15 to 6:45PM in the hallway off the Gym (must enter through the gym doors) Resurrection—see the priest before or af-ter daily Masses

RESURRECTION SCHOOL BUILDING– The Diocese has given us permission to move forward with the demolition of resurrection School building. You may remember that the boiler broke two Win-ters ago. The roof had also been leaking and was in need of replacement, and many areas throughout the building had been in need of major repairs. It was a building that served the parish well when needed to educate the many students who went to grade school there. The monthly cost for insurance and other ex-penses was $5,000 a month even with the water and gas shut off. Removing this building will help the financial situation of the parish be less burdened. This work should begin soon. About 10 years ago many of these same issues were faced at St. Catherine’s school building. The 18 classroom school building facing Broadway was torn down, and eventually it allowed for a much needed parking area and the ability to create a ramp to the church hall, things that were needed for the current needs of the parish.
TERESA’S TABLE is our meal ministry for the pa-rishioners of Saint Teresa of Kolkata Parish. To pro-vide for our sisters and brothers in need, we will al-ways have nearly 100 complete, nutritious meals and soups in our freezer. Meals are available for delivery to the homes of those who may be coming home from the hospital, who are grieving the loss of a loved one, who are recovering from an ordeal, who are needing some companionship, or who are just struggling in some way. If you or a parishioner you know needs a little help from our kitchen, contact the Parish Office and leave a message for Patty Schwerin, and she will get in touch with our meal team and delivery team. Just reheat and relax, and know that you are loved! PRAYER LINE—The parish has a Prayer Line for anyone who is in need of prayers. If you are in need of special prayers or know of someone who you feel could benefit with additional prayers, feel free to call the parish office at 412-531-2135. If you would like to be added to those who do the praying, please call the parish office.
