SAINT THOMAS MORE
CATHOLIC PARISH 51 Marketplace Irvine, CA 92602 · 949-551-8601 · www.stmirvine.org
Welcoming all, we, the Spirit-filled parish of St. Thomas More, value our Roman Catholic faith by celebrating the sacraments, breaking open the Scriptures, and joyfully offering ourselves in service to others. Under the inspiration of our patron saint, we seek to build a caring community that embraces the values he modeled of friendship, integrity and courageous love of God.
Welcome back, St. Thomas More Family! Bishop Kevin Vann of the Diocese of Orange has given permission for public Masses to resume at the Feast of Corpus Christi – weekend of June 13 & 14. Bishop Vann has extended the special dispensation to attend Sunday Mass. We will continue to livestream Masses for those to wish to participate at home.
We are very excited to be able to worship in person again. St. Thomas More’s opening for Masses will come in phases. We ask for your cooperation and patience as we work to welcome you back. Please visit our website at www.stmirvine.org for the most current information.
“Drive-up” Confessions: Confessions will continue with Fr. Kiet Ta and Fr. Joseph Horn on Saturdays from Noon to 2:00 pm, however they will be canceled on July 4th in observance of the holiday.

Welcome back! We are glad you are here. Our Journey Back—Phase One
A team of ushers will be available at each Mass to ensure a smooth transition to attending Mass, while following physical distancing and safety guidelines. Please follow their directions.
Once the maximum limit of 100 people has been reached inside the church, there will be overflow on the patio.
Those over age 65 and/or with underlying health issues, as well as those who are sick, are encouraged to consider not returning to Mass just yet. Join us on livestream.
The sign of peace and distribution of the Precious Blood is currently suspended.
Communion will be distributed at the end of Mass. A separate line will be formed on the right side of the church
for those who wish to receive the Eucharist on the tongue after others have received communion.
The church will be thoroughly sanitized/cleaned before and after each Mass, including all entryways and doors. Holy water fonts will be empty, and hymnals removed.
Please bring your own mask and hand sanitizer. They will be available if needed.
All local safety orders specifically relating to proper face coverings will be followed.
People will be instructed to not engage in any physical touch, such as greeting each other.
Signs and other instructions will encourage normal safe practices necessary to avoid the spread (e.g. cough or sneeze into a shirtsleeve, handkerchief, or tissue; avoid touching the eyes, nose, and mouth).
Ventilation will be increased as much as possible by opening doors, as weather permits.
The church will not be open for prayer or any other ministry gathering, other than Mass.
The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is closed to the public until further notice. Please visit our garden for prayer time.
The parish office remains closed to the public until further notice.

My Dear People,
Today’s theme on the Readings: ENTHUSIASM AND GRAMMAR There is a good reason that the writings of St. Paul don’t show up as examples in grammar textbooks. Today’s reading is a case in point. It begins with one of those long Pauline run on sentences that leave lectors gasping for breath. So what? Take a closer look at how Paul’s fervor for his subject matter derails the grammar. There is something admirable about being so caught up in his convictions that the words cannot come fast enough to express them, much less in an orderly fashion. Scripture scholars usually take this grammatical ineptness as a sign of a passage’s early importance in the Christian community, something they were so ardent about that their language never got refined. What leaves us in this condition? Re-telling the plot line of an action movie or the play-by-play of a sporting event? When was the last time any of us was so excited by our faith in Christ that we were left grasping for words, stumbling over our own errors in speech? It may be bad grammar, but it is an excellent way to inspire others with the message of Christ! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
In Christ, Father John
PLEASE PRAY FOR HEALING

our Father in Heaven. He is quick to protect and comfort His people. His teaching is a power for love
and good, never evil. When we have faith and trust in our Father in heaven, we have strength, a confidence that no matter what may come we have no reason to
be troubled. We will always be safe in Him.

PRAYER TO OUR LADY, HEALTH OF THE SICK DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
O Mary, You shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope. We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who, at the Cross, united with Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman people, know what we need, and we trust that you will provide for those needs so that, as at Cana of Galilee, joy and celebration may return after this moment of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the will of the Father and to do what Jesus tells us. He who took our suffering upon Himself, and burdened Himself with our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of Resurrection. Amen. We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our pleas — we who are put to the test — and deliver us from every danger. O glorious and blessed Virgin. —Pope Francis, March 11, 2020 © Libreria Editrice Vaticana

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES
Sunday: Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time; Father’s Day Monday: St. Paulinus of Nola; Ss. John Fisher and Thomas More Wednesday: The Nativity of St. John the Baptist Saturday: St. Cyril of Alexandria; Blessed Virgin Mary SAINT JOHN FISHER (1469-1535) AND
SAINT THOMAS MORE (1477-1535) June 22 From Robert Bolt’s classic A Man for All Seasons to Showtime’s edgy The Tudors, Thomas More endears himself still: lawyer-statesman of impeccable integrity, remarried widower and affectionate father delighting in a lively household—four children, a pet monkey, even a paid jester! And challenges still: humanist-reformer, yet champion of Catholic faith and papal primacy. John Paul II named him Patron of Statesmen and Politicians, citing More’s generous work, both as a lawyer and in government service, on behalf of the poorest and most marginalized people of his time, as well as his promotion of education for all sectors of society. More’s decision for principle over politics, conscience over convenience prompted his final words: “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first.” Alone among England’s bishops, John Fisher dared challenge Henry VIII’s divorce and repudiation of the papacy. When the Pope named the imprisoned Fisher a cardinal, Henry thundered: “Don’t bother sending Fisher’s red hat here; I’ll send Fisher’s head to Rome!” Whose “good servants” are we first? Isn’t a right conscience worth the pain of standing alone? —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
