PLEASE NOTE Thank you to all who are sending weekly con-tributions by mail, or online through our web-site. We are still falling very short of our goal. I realize that this is a very difficult time for everyone; however, the daily operation of the parish depends on your generosity. So, please, if you can, send your weekly offertory in by mail, online through the website, or drop it off at the rectory. All Masses that were booked during the past few weeks and until the coronavirus-19 re-strictions are lifted, will have to be resched-uled to another date. Thank you for your un-derstanding.

Bible Study Every time we attend Mass, we hear beautiful readings from the Sacred Scriptures. Would you like to go deeper and have the opportunity to read and discuss the Bible? The Wednesday night group is currently reading and discussing the Old Testament Book of Exodus. Feel free to come and join us on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm in the Church Hall. All are welcome!
Bulletin Column for the 14th Sunday of Ordinary Time Jesus wants to make us holy. To be holy is to be happy. To be happy is to be secure in the knowledge of God. True wis-dom comes through revelation. True wisdom does not come from self-reliance. The rabbis and the Scribes relied on their own knowledge and did not put their trust in the love of God. But Jesus teaches us a different lesson. He praises his Father and says, “…although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to little ones…” By calling God his Father, Jesus is revealing himself as the Son of God and it is only the childlike, the innocent and pure of heart who are wise enough to understand the revelation. These are the children of God who have nothing to fear and who are open to the Word of God being spoken by the Word of God. Jesus wants us to be holy, to be happy. Jesus wants us to have a new beginning. So he tells us, “…come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest…my yoke is easy and my burden is light…” St. Paul tells us that this “new beginning” is in turning away from our self-reliance, or our old ways, and being led by and responding to the Holy Spirit. For that is when the human heart, overflowing with pure love, in its childlike innocence looks up into the face of the Father, and trustfully realizes, “…you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light…” Jesus is inviting us to a new beginning to be happy and holy. Accept the invitation! God bless you all, Fr. Guy

Archdiocesan Guidelines for Parish Reopening If you can bring your own bottle of hand sanitizer to the church, you should. Otherwise, sanitizer will be provided
by the parish and positioned at the entry to the church. All parishioners need to wear masks, except for the following exceptions:
Children under the age of two should not wear masks. Parents should judge for children between the ages of two and five whether they should wear a mask. All people who claim an exemption because of health can forego wearing a mask. They do not have
to provide documentation. The priest and others with him in the sanctuary do not need to wear masks in the sanctuary as long as
strict socially distancing is maintained. They do have to wear masks when assisting with the distribu-tion of Holy Communion.
DURING MASS There will be no processions at the Masses, including no offertory processions. There should be no altar servers Choirs will not be allowed (Cantor, instrumentalist is allowed) There should be no holding of hands during the Our Father. There should be no invitation to participate in a sign of peace
FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF HOLY COMMUNION There will be one or two communion stations, depending on the size of the Church It should be announced that parishioners may well decide not to receive Holy Communion if they feel
the risk is too high, and that decision will be honored and respected. There will be no distribution of the Precious Blood The communicants and the priest will wear masks. Neither the priest nor the communicants should wear gloves during the distribution of Holy Communion. Congregants who are not coming forward to receive Hoy Communion or a blessing should still get out
of their pews at the beginning, so that no one will have to climb over anyone else. The priest will have a table next to him with hand sanitizer. The priest will hold the consecrated host over the communicants’ outstretched hands without touching
their hands. Communicants will receive the consecrated host in their hands, step to the side, lower their mask,
consume the host, replace their mask, and return to their pew. There will be NO distribution of Holy Communion on the tongue and with respect to social dis
tancing, kneeling for Communion is not persmitted. In the case on unintentional contact, the priest will sanitize his own hands immediately. If the priest himself is a member of a vulnerable population, a deacon or a trained lay minister should
distribute communion. The people should return to their pews by a different route, to avoid contact with approaching people. There will be tape on the floor to show where to stand as a communicant approaches to receive com
munion. There will also be tape on the floor to show where to stand to demask and consume the host, and arrows showing how to return to the pews.
There should be a couple of minutes after Communion for silent prayer, before the final prayer and dismissal.
If a Parish cannot offer Mass safely, following these guidelines and all of the checkboxes on the State docu-ment, they should not offer Mass.
The Vicars Forane will have regular conversations with the Pastors and will report regularly to the Vicar General with regard to compliance.
