FROM OUR PASTOR
The Bishop Promulgates Norms for Communion Services in the
Diocese of Wilmington
Bishop Malooly recently issued norms regarding the celebration of Communion Services in the Diocese of Wilmington.
The Bishop has directed that the following be placed in all parish bulletins: In recent years, it has become somewhat common practice for parishes to schedule Communion Serves on those days when daily Mass is cancelled or not scheduled. The Church views Communion Services during the week as an extraordinary excep-tion rather than the norm. (Sunday Mass where no priest is available is addressed
below.) Although the Church does, in limited instances, foresee a Liturgy of the Word with Communion (i.e., a Communion Service) typically on a Sunday, the Church asks that such liturgies be rarely permitted on weekdays and then only by extraordinary exception. The following guidelines are effective immediately in all parishes and parish mission churches in the Diocese of Wilmington:
Communion Services may not be substituted for Daily Mass, except in unexpected circumstances. For instance, the scheduled priest fails to show up or has a sudden illness or personal emergency.
When a daily Mass is cancelled, and published as such in advance, the faithful must be notified of the
availability of other daily Masses in surrounding churches.
In lieu of daily Mass, the Pastor may schedule another type of service: Liturgy of the Hours, a Liturgy of the Word, Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, or the communal recitation of the Rosary.
In the extremely unlikely event that a priest is indisposed from being able to be present for a
Sunday Mass, then the ritual that the Church has provided must be utilized, that is Sunday Celebrations in the Absence of a Priest. A priest’s absence from Sunday Mass must be for a very serious reason and every effort must be made by him to find a priest replacement.
The Leader of prayer on those occasions when there is no priest shall be a Deacon, or a
Seminarian who has been assigned to the parish, or a Religious, or a Lay minister designated by the pastor. It is a laudable practice that other members of the Lay Faithful share parts of the service.
Hopefully, these new guidelines will eliminate confusion surrounding the question of Communion Services and render us all uned in what we celebrate and when and by whom.
Please pray for all of those who suffered because of the terrible storm Dorian. May God bless them in their recovery process

DRINKING WATER FOR VILLAGERS IN INDIA FUNDRAISER
“…..for when I was thirsty you gave me to drink, come enter the home of my father…” Three villages in Fr. Clement’s Holy Spirit parish in a poor, drought-stricken area of S. India lack a resource for drinking water and need bore-wells or salt water purifiers and rain harvesting tanks. The water is presently trucked in. Also the toilets in the primary school are in a terrible state and need to be replaced. Finally one village is 7 miles from the Parish Center and there is no public transportation so the people have to walk for Sunday worship. Hence he needs a chapel built there. Fr. Clement’s total needs are $20,000. The film “Pope Francis – a man of his word” will be shown at St Mark’s HS Auditorium, 2501 Pike Creek Rd., Wilming-ton De19808 on September 15th at 3pm. Tickets are $15. Checks for donations or ticket money should be made to St. Andrew’s Charities. A kind donor will match all donations up to $10,000. For tickets: Call Millie 302 368 8993 or Michael 302 415 2242.
