Many of us are generous with our gifts. However, many of us are not generous in proportion to the gifts we have been given. How often do we give at the minimum level required? Remember, the Lord calls us to nurture and develop our gifts. He calls us to be generous with all the gifts He has given us, especially the one that means the most to us.

Holy Trinity update from Fr Lorne

Sunday Mass 10 am pre-registrations—by Thursday morning this week we already had over 50 requests to attend Sunday Mass this weekend. To accommodate as many of you as possible, we are giving the option of seating in the Gathering Area. We already have 7 booked for September 13, so if you wish to attend, call or email Val or the office. Phone messages and email will be responded to during office hours (9 am to 2 pm, Tuesday to Friday this week.)

Now that the calendar has rolled over to September, we are hearing from more people about coming back to Mass. Val, Heather and I will be meeting this week with some of our Liturgy team plus others who have been helping with Masses this spring and summer. We are aiming at returning to three weekend Masses in October when Fr. Ricardo arrives, but this will depend on having parishioner help with this.

Saturday 5 pm Mass—we have two Confirmation Masses Saturdays at 5 pm (Sept. 12 & 26 for registered families only). Therefore, we plan to resume Saturday 5 pm Masses starting October 3. We need at least 3 helpers at each Mass.

Duties of Mass helpers: 1 person posted at north door to ensure parishioners have completed self-assessment, record their name and phone number. 1 person in the Gathering Area to remind people to sanitize hands and ensure social distancing until they can be seated. 1 person in the church to seat parishioners. Contact the office if you are willing to assist.

Mass Registration details on page 5. We are following the protocols in place by SK Government and Archdiocese. These documents are avail-able on the Archdiocese website if you have questions about protocols.

Sacramental Preparation

Baptism Preparation (for parents of infants and young children).

Next session is Thursday, October 6 at 7:00 pm. Class fee is $20

For children age 7 and older who have not yet been baptized, we

have classes for the children and parent(s) beginning in September.

Parents of children in Grade 2 and up for the 2020/2021 school year you can now register your child for the sacraments of Confirmation, First Holy Communion, and First Reconciliation.

Classes begin Sunday, September 27.

Parent orientation meeting is Thursday, September 17, 2020, at 7:00 pm in the Church. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all registrations must be received before this date. You cannot enter the church for the meeting unless you have pre-registered. Registration is $50/child or $75/family payable before or on that evening. We accept cash, cheque or e-mail transfer. Class schedules

are on our website under the Sacraments tab.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) The RCIA is a process for adults seeking initiation into the Catholic Church. Weekly gatherings consist of prayer and sharing as we come

to discover where God is calling each person. The process is open to:

all those not baptized

those baptized in another denomination now seeking to make a

profession of faith in the Catholic Church and be confirmed and

receive Holy Eucharist

those baptized Catholics who have not completed their Christian

Initiation (have not been Confirmed and/or have not received First

Eucharist)

The RCIA journey involves the faith community as a whole by deepening its own conversion to Christ and by providing a prayerful

example of Christian living for those inquiring into the Catholic faith.

For more information regarding Baptism, Confirmation, First Communion, Reconciliation, and RCIA, contact

Val Magnuson, Pastoral Assistant, at 306-924-2602.

Other Liturgy Changes—

Promptness—to ensure we can monitor who is

attending, the doors will be locked at the start of Mass.

This also allows us to provide the proper number of

hosts needed for that Mass.

Instructions about the Mass will be done either by

announcement or individual instructions before Mass

with detailed instructions for Eucharist.

Singing is a high-risk activity so we will not have this

except for special music as we can fit this in safely.

Proclaimers of the Word—First Reading, Psalm and

Second Reading will all be proclaimed by the same

person. This will be done from a microphone at the

front, with care being taken to not share a microphone

within 72 hours of another person. The ambo (lectern)

and the microphone there are to be used only by

Father Lorne.

Collection—a donation box is inside the glass doors

for your envelope instead of being collected from you

in the pew.

Eucharist—hosts will be consecrated on a table and

parishioners will come forward, one household group

at a time. Stand behind the black tape line; Father will

say “The Body of Christ”; respond ‘Amen’, then step

forward and pick up the host closest to you; take a

step or two away before consuming.

We are working hard to help get you back to Mass.

Thank you for your patience as we try things to see

what works for Holy Trinity.

ing (see separate box). Those registered are being given

detailed instructions.

Weekday Mass Attendance - Generally weekday

Masses are Monday to Friday at 8:30 am. You do not

fill the positions needed Saturday afternoons. More

details to confirm this in next week or two.

Church Open for Prayer—We will continue to have the

church open for prayer from 9 am to 2 pm, Monday to

Friday, unless otherwise published in the bulletin.

We may need to close occasionally to ensure staff aren't

working too many hours to accommodate the required

protocols.

2 metre guidelines of social distancing. Our upholstered

pews cannot be sanitized. If you wish to bring your own

seat cushion or towel, please do so. The wooden pews

on the south side of the church do not have upholstery. If

you prefer to sit there, check with the person directing this.

Seating for Mass will be done from front to back. For exit-

ing after Mass, it will be reversed, from back to front.

These directions will be announced at the Mass.

The Archdiocese of Regina Lay Formation Program“I’d love to take this course, but I want to wait until; my kids are grown, I can slow down at work, I’m retired...”The sad truth is, nearly 75% of young people, even those raised in religious homes, will leave the Church by the time they are 25 - well before many of us retire! Some of the most common reasons given for leaving one’s faith behind include; perceived conflicts between faith and science, Christians behaving badly, a lack of evidence for the existence of God, and difficulties with some of the Church’s teachings. Our sons and daughters need mentors who are “well-trained and animated by a sincere faith..whose life has been touched by the personal and merciful love of Jesus Christ” (Pope Francis).We are currently accepting applications for our Fall intake.

that are hard for us, we want to be able to make sense out of that...It strikes me that this is such a core aspect of our humanity that we will latch on to things even when the effects of that lead to greater anxiety and greater fear."https://thinkingfaith.libsyn.com/conspiracy-theory-think-ing-a-pastoral-approach-part-3

August 26, 2020 Dear Friends, Late summer greetings! We hope and pray these summer days have been blessed for all of you. They have been good for us. We did individually get away for some holiday time, mostly in this beautiful province, although Christine and Peter did visit their families in Ontario. Now we are preparing to re-open next week, something we always look foward to – it is like the beginning of a new year. However, this ‘new year’ is not like other years because of the Covid restrictions. Our hope had been to re-open our dining room, we will need to continue to serve our meals as bagged lunches from the front door for the coming months - until there is a significant change in the social distancing requirement. We continue to think of ways we can best serve those who come to us and to make the hospitality we offer personal. Including home baked goods in our lunch bags, especially muffins, has been one way of our doing this. Your continued support with this will be appreciated – as well as any other items for the lunch bags ( such as granola bars, juice packs, meat and cheese for sandwiches, fruit). We do assist, upon request, a vareity of other needs, including personal hygiene and mens’ clothing. Women and children have been coming for lunch bags as well – but our clothing room is just for men. We need to continue to suspend the regular rotation of weekly volunteers - until we can re-open the dining room and resume our drop-in and hotmeal program. Our annual rotation of CWL volunteers will also need to be suspended. However, a few volunteers are helping us with our present program and we are so glad for this. It is an understatement to say we miss seeing so many of you on a regular basis! We certainly pray for you all, and we count on your prayers – especially that we be creatively faithful to those we have been called to serve in these unusual and difficult days. With our love, Charlie for Kate, Christine, David and Peter
