Gospel: John 6.51-59 – The Bread from Heaven
Sharing what we have Received
This Sunday we celebrate the great Solemnity of the
Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus
Christi. This Sunday offers us the opportunity to
reflect more deeply on the importance of the
Eucharist in our lives as stewards. The Catechism
says that “the Eucharist is the source and summit of
the Christian life” (CCC 1324).
The Eucharist being the “source” means that through
the reception of Jesus at Mass, we receive the grace
to “do all things through Him who strengthens us”
(Phil 4:13). As stewards, we should remember that
all of our charitable works are made possible and
fruitful because of God sustaining us in all things.
The Eucharist being the “summit” teaches us that
everything we do should point us back to the Mass
which should remain the highlight of our entire
week. The Mass is everything. It is in the Mass that
Jesus’ perfect sacrifice at Calvary is made present
before us and is our closest foretaste of Heaven.
This constant interplay of source and summit is what
should guide us as stewards. This image is best
captured in the common practice of Corpus Christi
Eucharistic processions. We first receive Christ in
the Eucharist and then we bring Him out into the
world for all to see. That is the life of a steward. Let
us strive to receive Christ as often as we can, even
on weekdays if possible. Once we have received
Him in Mass let us then strive to share Him with
others.

Timeline for Re-opening Churches in the Archdiocese of Toronto
June 10, 2020
Dear Clergy, Religious and Lay Faithful of the Archdiocese of Toronto,
In light of the government announcement of June 8, 2020 regarding the re-opening of places of worship, I would like to
provide additional direction to all parishes on our re-opening timeline after consulting with the Council of Priests and Episcopal
Board.
While the government has indicated that places of worship may open as of 12:01 a.m. on June 12, we recognize the extensive
protocols that must be in place to safely re-open our churches. These include the training of clergy, staff and volunteers as
well as ensuring appropriate cleaning supplies, signage and capacity control mechanisms can be prepared. Mindful that we
are still in a period of pandemic, our goal is to ensure we can welcome the faithful and provide a safe environment for all.
Recognizing these challenges and balancing them with the understandable desire of the faithful to return to their spiritual
home, I would ask all parishes to adopt the following timeline: opening churches for private prayer/adoration, moving to daily
Mass for the public and finally returning to Sunday Masses throughout the archdiocese.
June 12 – 13, 2020 – period of preparation for parishes. Churches remain closed.
Sunday, June 14, 2020 – On the feast of Corpus Christi, parishes are asked to open their doors throughout the day
for private prayer and adoration only.
Monday, June 15, 2020 – Churches may open for private prayer.
Tuesday, June 16, 2020 – Churches may open for private prayer.
Wednesday, June 17, 2020 – Churches may begin to celebrate daily Mass for the public. Please note the Solemnity of
the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 19) and the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary (June 20).
Weekend of June 20/21, 2020 – weekend Masses may resume.
Please note that as per government direction regarding capacity, churches are limited to 30 per cent of their worship space.
Funerals and weddings are restricted to 10 people including the presider at this time.
Before opening the church, the pastor must be satisfied that the Archdiocese of Toronto “Return to Church” guidelines can be
followed. If there are concerns regarding the ability to follow these guidelines in his parish, he should consult with the regional
bishop.
I continue to provide dispensation from the Sunday Mass for those who may not be able to attend for health reasons or due to
capacity restrictions. St. Michael’s Cathedral will continue to livestream Masses – parishes may choose to do so for a period
of time during this transition period or publicize the cathedral livestream, DailyTVMass.com as well as Masses offered through
Salt & Light Catholic Television, EWTN and others.
I recognize there will be a period of adjustment and transition as we move to this new phase of operations. I also extend my
sincere gratitude for all that you have done during this period of closure and for the effort you are taking to prepare and
implement this new chapter in an extraordinary year.
We continue to remember in prayer those who have suffered during this period of pandemic and for all those who continue to
care of them.
Sincerely Yours in Christ,
Thomas Cardinal Collins Archbishop of Toronto
r With timelines stated above by the Archbishop, St. Anne's parish will need more time for preparation and
training of volunteers. However we will start by having our doors open for PRAYER ONLY this Sunday.
Daily & Sunday Mass will be announced at a later time.

Living the Gospel by helping vulnerable youth
Incarcerated at a youth detention centre, 18-year-old Rodrigo didn’t know what his future held. Upon his release, he was referred to Covenant House, which partnered him with a Youth in Transition worker. Together they developed a plan that included regular counselling sessions and enrolling in an alternative school program. Now living back at home, Rodrigo’s future is open to so many possibilities.
Thank you for your generosity. Donations can be placed in the Dropbox provided by the
Westside entrance of the church or online.

Our New Beginnings program is offering bi-monthly support sessions. This closed support group allows us to work together to explore our grief, experience healing, and renew our faith.
