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 Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ

We all need food for the journey, don’t we? Now, how important is your spiritual journey to you? Jesus is here to give us what we need, when we need it. The Eucharist nourishes, fills, and satisfies our spiritual hunger. In the beautiful hymn attributed to St. Thomas Aquinas, he says, “Lord Jesus Christ, you gave us the Eucharist as the memorial of your suffering and death…” This was the opening prayer to our liturgy this morning. This is the Lord’s selfless gift of unconditional love to us. This gift is a sign of the life we share in Christ – eternal life. Jesus says the bread that he will give is his flesh for the life of the world. And so, today, the Church gives us the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. St. Paul tells us that the cup of blessing and the bread we break are a participation in the body and blood of Christ. St. Thomas Aquinas sums it up again beautifully in his prayer: “O, Sacred banquet, in which Christ is received; the memory of his passion is renewed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us. The future glory promised is no less than eternal life with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. May we never deprive our spirit of the nourishment it needs for the journey.

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.
