Dear Friends,
This weekend’s Gospel comes from Matthew and
describes a journey of faith, a journey that should not
remain stagnant. Yes, it is true, even some of our most
known saints or theological figures have written about
times in their lives when their faith felt “dry” or
“disconnected”; however, what is also true is that in
those stagnant times, their faith never ceased. Prayer
and reflection continued. Jesus is always encouraging
us to continue searching for our “pearl” and to continue
that journey towards the Kingdom.
This weekend kicks off two of our eleven First Holy
Communion Masses. Just over one hundred students
have been studying, praying, and practicing taking for
this next step in their faith journey. Last week, they went
on a First Holy Communion Retreat, either in person or
virtually, where they sent a of time in prayer with their
families. The past few months have given them a lot to
think about. In a blessing, it has provided them almost
three more months of prayer time and reflection on what
receiving the Eucharist is all about. I can promise, the
faith of these young people is not currently stagnant;
rather, they are on fire. I was blessed with the
opportunity to see almost every one of them walk into
their First Reconciliations a few weeks ago more
nervous than words can describe. However, each one of
them left with a smile and a sense of connectedness to
their faith. Finally, they were receiving the grace that
Jesus offers daily. This weekend and in coming weeks,
they are about to receive that grace in emphasis again
as they receive Jesus spiritually, but also physically.
That feeling of being connected to Jesus will be so
great, you will see His light radiating from within them.
However, what is most important is that we as the
Church and the families of these students build on that
relationship with Jesus and continue to give them the
opportunities to go to reconciliation and in receiving the
Eucharist, so much so that maybe it will inspire us as
the Church and the parents to self-reflect on faith lives
as well, especially if they’ve been stagnant lately.
We are all blessed children of God and followers of
Jesus. They are always there, waiting for us to return to
them. Even the strongest relationships have the power
to grow even stronger. Join with me in taking a stance
to not remain stagnant in faith and continue with the
passion like our First Communicants to continually
journey towards the Kingdom.
Your Sister in Christ,
Steph

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR THE 17TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
READING I 1 KGS 3:5, 7-12
The LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream at night.
God said, “Ask something of me and I will give it to you.”
Solomon answered: “O LORD, my God, you have made me,
your servant, king to succeed my father David; but I am a mere
youth, not knowing at all how to act. I serve you in the midst of
the people whom you have chosen, a people so vast that it
cannot be numbered or counted. Give your servant, therefore, an
understanding heart to judge your people and to distinguish right
from wrong. For who is able to govern this vast people of yours?”
The LORD was pleased that Solomon made this request. So
God said to him: “Because you have asked for this—not for a
long life for yourself, nor for riches, nor for the life of your
enemies, but for understanding so that you may know what is
right—I do as you requested. I give you a heart so wise and
understanding that there has never been anyone like you up to
now, and after you there will come no one to equal you.”
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
PS 119:57, 72, 76-77, 127-128, 190-130
R. Lord, I love your commands.
I have said, O LORD, that my part is to keep your words. The
law of your mouth is to me more precious than thousands of gold
and silver pieces.
R. Lord, I love your commands.
Let your kindness comfort me according to your promise to your
servants. Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for
your law is my delight.
R. Lord, I love your commands.
For I love your command more than gold, however fine. For in
all your precepts I go forward; every false way I hate.
R. Lord, I love your commands.
Wonderful are your decrees; therefore I observe them. The
revelations of your words sheds light, giving understanding to the
simple.
R. Lord, I love your commands.
READING 2 ROM 8:28-30
Brothers and sisters:
We know that all things work for good for those who love God,
who are called according to his purpose. For those he foreknew
he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son,
so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and
sisters. And those he predestined he also called; and those he
called he also justified; and those he justified he also glorified.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth; you have
revealed to little ones the mysteries of the kingdom.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
GOSPEL MT 13:44-52
Jesus said to his disciples: “The kingdom of heaven is like a
treasure buried in a field, which a person finds and hides again,
and out of joy goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for
fine pearls. When he finds a pearl of great price, he goes and
sells all that he has and buys it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is
like a net thrown into the sea, which collects fish of every kind.
When it is full they haul it ashore and sit down to put what is
good into buckets. What is bad they throw away. Thus it will be
at the end of the age. The angels will go out and separate the
wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace,
where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.
“Do you understand all these things?” They answered, “Yes.”
And he replied, “Then every scribe who has been instructed in
the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household
who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old.”
Historia de la adoración eucarística: Cuarta parte
Gran devoción a la Eucaristía en el siglo XIII
Frente a tales degradaciones, precisamente, se producen en esta
época grandes avances de la devoción eucarística. Entre otros mu-
chos, podemos considerar el testimonio impresionante de san Francis-
co de Asís (1182-1226). Poco antes de morir, en su Testamento, pide
a todos sus hermanos que participen siempre de la inmensa venera-
ción que él profesa hacia la Eucaristía y los sacerdotes:
«Y lo hago por este motivo: porque en este siglo nada veo corporal-
mente del mismo altísimo Hijo de Dios, sino su santísimo cuerpo y su
santísima sangre, que ellos reciben y sólo ellos administran a los de-
más. Y quiero que estos santísimos misterios sean honrados y vene-
rados por encima de todo y colocados en lugares preciosos» (10-
11; cf. Admoniciones 1: El Cuerpo del Señor).
Esta devoción eucarística, tan fuerte en el mundo franciscano, marca
también una huella muy profunda, que dura hasta nuestros días, en la
espiritualidad de las clarisas. En la Vida de santa Clara (+1253), escri-
ta muy pronto por el franciscano Tomás de Celano (hacia 1255), se
refiere un precioso milagro eucarístico. La iconografía tradicional re-
presenta a Santa Clara de Asís con una custodia en la mano, porque
asediada la ciudad de Asís por un ejército invasor de sarracenos,
fueron estos ahuyentados del convento de San Damián por la Santa
con la custodia,
Ésta, impávido el corazón, manda, pese a estar enferma, que la con-
duzcan a la puerta y la coloquen frente a los enemigos, llevando ante
sí la cápsula de plata, encerrada en una caja de marfil, donde se guar-
da con suma devoción el Cuerpo del Santo de los Santos». De la
misma cajita le asegura la voz del Señor: “yo siempre os defenderé”, y
los enemigos, llenos de pánico, se dispersan» (Legenda santæ
Claræ21).
«Santa Juliana de Mont-Cornillon y la fiesta del Corpus Christi
Es ahora, efectivamente, hacia el 1200, cuando, por obra del Espíritu
Santo, la devoción al Cristo de la Eucaristía va a desarrollarse en el
pueblo cristiano con nuevos impulsos decisivos. A partir del año 1208,
el Señor se aparece a santa Juliana (1193-1258), primera abadesa
agustina de Mont-Cornillon, junto a Lieja. Esta religiosa

SANITIZERS DESPERATELY NEEDED!
* POSSIBLE MASS CANCELLATIONS *
With the reopening of our churches to public
Masses, we must sanitize after each Mass in order
to keep everyone safe. This process takes about
5—10 minutes after Mass.
We cannot continue Masses without
volunteers to step up and serve!
Since we must know ahead of time that we have
enough volunteers at all Masses, it is very
important that the volunteer list is up to date
ahead of time. Please go into the ministry
scheduler pro website to indicate that you can
help, this doesn’t take long.
If it is easier for you, call the office to have your
name placed on the volunteer list.
THANK YOU!

HOLY FAMILY PARISH
(Continued from page 3)
es una enamorada de la Eucaristía, que, incluso físicamente, encuentra en
el pan del cielo su único alimento. El Señor inspira a santa Juliana la insti-
tución de una fiesta litúrgica en honor del Santísimo Sacramento. Por ella
los fieles se fortalecen en el amor a Jesucristo, expían los pecados y des-
precios que se cometen con frecuencia contra la Eucaristía, y al mismo
tiempo contrarrestan con esa fiesta litúrgica las agresiones sacrílegas co-
metidas contra el Sacramento por cátaros, valdenses, petrobrusianos,
seguidores de Amaury de Bène, y tantos otros.
Bajo el influjo de estas visiones, el obispo de Lieja, Roberto de Thourotte,
instituye en 1246 la fiesta del Corpus. Hugo de Saint-Cher, dominico, car-
denal legado para Alemania, extiende la fiesta a todo el territorio de su
legación. Y poco después, en 1264, el papa Urbano IV, antiguo arcediano
de Lieja, que tiene en gran estima a la santa abadesa Juliana, extiende
esta solemnidad litúrgica a toda la Iglesia latina mediante la bu-
la Transiturus (Denz 846-847). Esta carta magna del culto eucarístico es un
himno a la presencia de Cristo en el Sacramento y al amor inmenso que le
lleva a hacerse nuestro pan espiritual.�
�
Es de notar que en esta Bula romana se indican ya los fines
del culto eucarístico que más adelante serán señalados por
Trento, por la�Mediator Dei�de Pío XII o por los documentos
pontificios más recientes: 1) la�reparación, «para confundir la
maldad e insensatez de los herejes»; 2) la�alabanza, «para
que clero y pueblo, alegrándose juntos, alcen cantos de ala-
banza»; 3) el�servicio, «al servicio de Cristo»; 4) la�adoración
y contemplación, «adorar, venerar, dar culto, glorificar, amar
y abrazar el Sacramento excelentísimo»; 5) la�anticipación
del cielo, «para que, pasado el curso de esta vida, se les con-
ceda como premio».�

CANCELLED MASSES
WITH SCHEDULED MASS INTENTIONS
Three of our Masses scheduled for last week had to be
cancelled as we erred on the side of caution. The Mass
intentions for these Masses were offered privately by one
of our priests. However, if you happen to have had an
intention for one of these Masses and you would like to
reschedule for a Mass in which you can attend, you can do
so by contacting Joyce at St. Joseph’s.
This will also be the policy in the future should we need to
cancel any Masses.
MASS VOLUNTEERS
We are in need of ushers at Sunday Masses at 11:30 AM and
6:00 PM at St. Johns. Please consider volunteering and registering
ahead of time if you attend these Masses.�

Holy Family Devotional Booklet Subscriptions
Some of our former parishes subscribed to The Word Among Us, others subscribed
to Living Faith for daily Catholic devotions with Scripture readings and reflections for
the parishioners. Both were distributed 10 times per year (roughly monthly). We will
be consolidating all of our devotional booklets to The Word Among Us to distribute
to all of our church sites in English and some in Spanish also at St. John the Baptist
Church for our Latino families. Living Faith will be discontinued. Anyone wanting a
personal subscription can contact Living Faith at livingfaith.com or call (800) 246-
7390 or for The Word Among Us at wau.org or call (800) 775-9673.
We will also get extra devotional booklets from the popular Little Books (Little Blue
and Little Black Books) for Advent and Lent. The devotional booklets will be
available in the bulletin bins outside of each church entrance for pick up.
Because the church subscriptions are delivered in bulk, the cost is just about $16
for 10 months of editions, but almost twice that amount for personal mailed
subscriptions.
Many devotionals are available electronically for a reduced cost also. Parishioners
are welcome to take The Word Among Us booklets for free, or offer the small
donation in their weekly envelopes for the cost to the parish.

Several parishioners at St. Joseph and St. John the Baptist
Church Masses last weekend reported a family standing
outside with a sign asking for financial assistance.
Solicitations such as this are NOT permitted and this family
was told that but continued to solicit. Sister Lynn Miller is our
Parish Social Minister and takes calls for assistance and
even emergency assistance on the weekends. Please do
NOT give anyone financial assistance, but refer them to
the bulletin to contact Sister Lynn Miller. She can determine
if the need is real or if it is a false need or scam. Whenever
we are aware, we will contact the police in the future if
anyone attempts to solicit parishioners after Masses.
As a reminder also, no one from the parish clergy or staff
will ever ask you to get gift card codes online. This is a
known scam. Please do not respond to such emails or text
messages, as they are from fake email addresses and

Holy Family School Principal Mr. Beau Quattrone and his daughter Anna,
were recently featured on the Diocese of Pittsburgh Website on the Schools
Page. Mr. Quattrone has attended, been a teacher and now a principal in
Catholic schools. “I always tell students that no matter what, Jesus loves you
and God will show you the way,” he said. “He has a path for each and every
one of us.” Not only has Mr. Quattrone taught and is the principal in a Catholic
school, he and his wife, Jennifer, also sent their three children to Catholic
grade school, high school and two to Catholic universities. After graduating

HOLY FAMILY PARISH COVID�19 ACTION PLAN �
�
I. FOR PARISHIONERS WHO HAVE CONTRACTED OR BEEN EXPOSED TO COVID�19 �
�
A.� When a Parishioner has contracted the COVID�19 virus or is showing symptoms of COVID�19 or has come
� in contact with someone known to have COVID�19, they should call and inform the Pastor or the Holy
� Family COVID�19 Coordinator (HFCC). The following procedure should then be followed. �
�
� 1. The following COVID�19 screening ques*ons should be asked of the Parishioner by the HFCC: �
� � a. Have you developed any of the following within the last 2 weeks? Cough, fever, swea*ng or
� � chills, new shortness of breath, new loss of taste or smell, new sore throat, muscle aches,
� � nausea, vomi*ng or diarrhea? �
� � b. Have you had your symptoms for more than a week, or have they worsened recently? ______ �
� � c. Have you been tested? ________ Result or advice from doctor ________________________ �
�
� If there are YES responses to Ques*ons a., b., and c., we will con*nue with the HOLY Family COVID�19
� Protocol. �
�
� 2. The parishioner/s or staff who has contracted or has symptoms of COVID�19 should contact their
� doctor, self�isolate at home, self�monitor for symptoms and follow CDC guidance if symptoms �
� develop. �
�
� 3. The Pastor or HFCC will determine whether the individual diagnosed with COVID�19 came into contact
� with any parishioners, and if so, where and when such contact took place. �
�
� 4. The HFCC and staff will email or call and inform all those who have had close contact with the person
� diagnosed with COVID�19 to stay home and self�monitor for symptoms, and to follow CDC guidance if
� symptoms develop. Those signed up with someone a9ending Mass will be asked to alert everyone that
� was signed up with him/her. �
�
� 5. The Pastor or the HFCC must no*fy the Diocese, parish staff and, if necessary, local health officials �
� immediately of any possible case of COVID�19 while maintaining confiden*ality consistent with the
� Americans with Disabili*es Act (ADA), HIPPA and other applicable federal and state privacy laws. �
�
� 6. All areas that were used by the sick person cannot be used un*l a?er sani*zing is completed in all �
� areas. Ensure safe and correct applica*on of sani*zing products and keep such products away from
� children. �
�
� 7. The Pastor or the HFCC will communicate and inform the Holy Family Parish about the possible �
� COVID�19 exposure and situa*on. �
�
� 8. The parishioner/s or staff who has contracted or has symptoms of COVID�19 must in all cases keep the
� Pastor or HFCC informed of the results of their tests and anything else pertaining to the virus. This can
� be by phone, email and/or tex*ng. 100% transparency between the person infected or exposed with
� the Pastor and/or the HFCC will help to keep the en*re community safe and informed. �
�
� 9. When the parishioner/s or staff who has contracted or has symptoms of COVID�19 has tested nega*ve
� for the virus the Pastor or the HFCC will communicate and inform the Holy Family Parish of the �
� situa*on. Those signed up with someone a9ending Mass will be asked to alert everyone that was
� signed up with him/her. �
�
10. If the parishioner/s or staff who has contracted or has symptoms of COVID�19 and has definitely �
� tested posi*ve the Pastor may choose to cancel or livestream�ONLY Masses. However, Masses may
� con*nue if temperature scanning is screened for all parishioners a9ending Mass. If it can be �
� determined that anyone had contact with the person who tested posi*ve for more than 15 minutes
� with less than 6 feet distance, further self�isola*on may be required to follow all CDC, state and �
� federal guidelines. �
�
Addressing the challenges of COVID�19 are constantly changing, so this Ac�on Plan is also subject to change. �

Father of Mercy, as we journey On Mission for The
Church Alive! endow us with your gifts of courage,
collaboration, and compassion. Help us to fulfill the
mission of Jesus and his Church through vibrant
parishes and effective ministries. Raise up selfless,
energetic leaders to serve the Church in fidelity and
with care. May we the Church of Pittsburgh in
Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Greene, Lawrence and
Washington Counties be sustained and
strengthened by your grace. Help us to learn Jesus,
to love Jesus and to live Jesus. Hear this prayer
and grant it through Jesus Christ our Lord, with the
help of our dear Blessed Mother, under the mantle
of her love. Amen.
A Prayer for the Pastoral Council Process
Come, O Holy Spirit of the living God, and show us
your ways. Guide our parish discernment of those
who are called to the ministry of leadership in and
through the work of the parish pastoral coun-
cil. Grant us wisdom to know our gifts. Call us to
put those gifts at the service of your people. Give
us zeal and holy courage to respond generously to
your invitation. And grant your grace to all in our
parish faith communities as they seek to live out
the mission of Jesus. We pray this in his name,
who with you and the sustaining Father is one
God, forever and ever. Amen.
