Mass Reservations A reservation system for Sunday Masses is in place with

a seating capacity of 80 per Mass. This reflects 25% of

our official capacity. Although the capacity was raised to

34%, OLS will continue to retain the 25%. If a particular

Mass “maxes out” at 25% for three consecutive weeks,

the “Re-opening Task Force” will be consulted as to how

to best accommodate the additional attendees. We

continue to encourage all parishioners to use the

reservation link which is located on our website

www.olscc.com Please print your confirmation and

bring it to Mass with you. Members of the Task Force

will be on hand before and after Mass to assist attendees.

Family “units” may sit together.

Remember…You do not have an obligation to go to

Mass during the coronavirus pandemic. Cardinal Dolan

has dispensed us from the obligation to attend Sunday

Mass at this time. Please join us for Mass in the church

only when you feel safe and comfortable to do so. As an

alternative, you can watch Mass on-line or on T.V. and

make an Act of Spiritual Communion (see below) when

you are unable to physically receive the Eucharist.

FYI…The 12 noon Sunday Mass will be held

outdoors (weather permitting) until further

notice. Parishioners are asked to register, wear

masks, bring your own chair and maintain social

distancing.

Prayer for a Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most

Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I

desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you

sacramentally,

Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there

And unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

The Sanctuary Lamp is lit

This week in memory of

Kathleen & Daniel Moriarty

And the

Bread and Wine are offered

This week in memory of

Alice & Vincent Mulcahy

By their loving family.

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time October 4, 2020

A NOTE FROM FR. TIM

October is the Month of the Holy Rosary – a time for

special devotion to Our Lady. For centuries Catholics

have turned to the Blessed Virgin Mary, asking for her

intercession in times of need by praying the Rosary. This

great prayer, whose origins date before the 12th century,

uses a meditative repetition of prayers that invoke the

intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary as she leads us to

consider the mysteries in the life of her Divine Son, Jesus.

The purpose of the Rosary is to help us meditate on the

great mysteries of our salvation. Pius XII called it a

compendium of the gospel. The main focus is on Jesus---

his birth, life, death and resurrection. The Our Father

reminds us that Jesus’ Father is the initiator of salvation.

The Hail Mary reminds us to join with Mary in

contemplating these mysteries. They also makes us aware

that Mary was and is intimately joined with her Son in all

the mysteries of his earthly and heavenly existence. The

Glory Be reminds us that the purpose of all life is the

glory of the Trinity. The rosary appeals to many. It is

simple. There were fifteen mysteries (joyful, sorrowful

and glorious). In 2020, Pope John Paul added the

Mysteries of Light to this devotion. Venerable Archbishop

Fulton Sheen once said “The power of the Rosary is

beyond description.”

Four “spiritual” reminders:

~ October 7 is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary.

~The Rosary is prayed after the 8:00 a.m. Morning Mass

Mondays - Saturdays. Please join us!

~ During the 5 p.m., 10:00 a.m. & 12 noon Masses this

month our Offertory Hymn will be a Marian hymn.

~All are encouraged to pray the Rosary during the month

of October.

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS

This Sunday, October 4, our parish will

remember St. Francis of Assisi, one of the

most beloved saints in the history of the

Church. A blessing of animals will take

place in front of the church from 1:00 p.m.

to 2:00 p.m. For the safety of all our pets and people,

please ensure your pets are properly leashed and secured

in some way. All participants are required to wear masks

and practice social distancing.

O.L.S.’s Religious Education program

began 2 weeks ago Our Religious Education program will be different than

in the past as we deal with the corona virus pandemic.

From September 2020 - January 2021, our program will

be a hybrid model, family-based (remote learning) with

at-home assignments and monthly in-person catechesis

(family gatherings) in the church which is already set up

for “distancing” according to NY State guidelines. The

program will be reviewed prior to the start of the

January 2021- May 2021 semester.

This is your last chance to register. All

families must be registered parishioners of O.L.S. parish

in order for your children to attend our Religious

Education program. If you have any questions or for

registration forms, email Mrs. Jen DeMilio at

olsreled@optonline.net or call her at 914-949-3896.

This Sunday’s Readings

First Reading: Isaiah 5:1-7

This passage about the failure of the Lord’s vineyard is a

metaphor for the ingratitude of the people of Israel and

Judah. In tones of sadness and rebuke, the Lord asks,

“What more was there to do for my vineyard?”

Second Reading: Philippians 4:6-9

In a moving appeal to the Philippians, Paul exhorts them

to embrace all that is pure, decent, and admirable; then

God’s peace will be theirs.

Gospel: Matthew 21:33-43

In another rebuke to the chief priests and the elders, Jesus

recounts a parable in which the owner of a vineyard

leases his vineyard to tenant farmers. When the owner

sends his servants and even his son to claim his rightful

share of the crops, the tenants kill all of them. With some

bitterness, Jesus warns the chief priests that “the

Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given

to people that will yield a rich harvest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ SUNDAY MASS AT BURKE RESUMES

a.m. Sunday Mass at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital
