FROM THE PASTOR
Let us return to the Eucharist with joy!
Excerpts from the
“Letter on the celebration of the Liturgy during and after the COVID
19 pandemic to the Presidents of the Episcopal Conferences of the
Catholic Church”,
by Robert Card. Sarah, Prefect
As soon as circumstances permit, however, it is necessary and urgent to
return to the normality of Christian life, which has the church building as
its home and the celebration of the liturgy, especially the Eucharist, as "the
summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same
time it is the font from which all her power flows" (Sacrosanctum
Concilium, 10).
Aware that God never abandons the humanity He has created, and that
even the hardest trials can bear fruits of grace, we have accepted our
distance from the Lord's altar as a time of Eucharistic fasting, useful for us
to rediscover its vital importance, beauty and immeasurable preciousness.
As soon as is possible, however, we must return to the Eucharist with a
purified heart, with a renewed amazement, with an increased desire to meet
the Lord, to be with him, to receive him and to bring him to our brothers
and sisters with the witness of a life full of faith, love and hope.
We cannot live, be Christians, fully realizing our humanity and the desires
for good and happiness that dwell in our hearts without the Word of the
Lord, which in the celebration of the liturgy takes shape and becomes a
living word, spoken by God for those who today open their hearts to listen;
We cannot live as Christians without participating in the Sacrifice of the
Cross in which the Lord Jesus gives himself unreservedly to save, by his
death, humanity which had died because of sin; the Redeemer associates
humanity with himself and leads it back to the Father; in the embrace of
the Crucified One all human suffering finds light and comfort;
We cannot be without the banquet of the Eucharist, the table of the Lord to
which we are invited as sons and daughters, brothers and sisters to receive
the Risen Christ himself, present in body, blood, soul and divinity in that
Bread of heaven which sustains us in the joys and labours of this earthly
pilgrimage;

October is Pregnancy & Infant Loss
Awareness Month
For parents in need of life affirming resources following a
prenatal diagnosis, visit benotafraid.net.
Be Not Afraid (BNA) is a private non-profit organization
which provides comprehensive case management to
parents carrying to term following a prenatal
diagnosis. Our staff and peers strive to develop a
relationship of trust while providing for the emotional and
tangible needs of parents at diagnosis, during pregnancy,
at birth and during the post postpartum period for up to
one year. We believe that every baby is a gift, and we
support parents not only in advocating for basic care, but
also in obtaining the treatment they deem appropriate for
their child after birth no matter the diagnosis. We follow
the ethical teaching of the Catholic Church, but serve
parents of all denominations.
REGULARLY SCHEDULED ADORERS NEEDED
Weekly Adoration (Thursday 9am - Friday 8am)
We are in need of weekly commitments for the following
hours:
Thursdays: 11 am, 3 pm, & 10 pm
Fridays: 1am & 2am
Contact Tricia Sanborn at the office to sign up
With the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi upon us, we mark
the 5-year anniversary of the World Day of Prayer for the
Care of Creation in the Catholic Church. Pope Francis has
encouraged the faithful to observe the Season of Creation
with increased prayer and a simpler lifestyle. He calls for
the Church and the world to acknowledge the urgency of
our environmental challenges. The USCCCB (US
Conference of Catholic Bishops) made the following
statement. “The Holy Father has reminded us that every
member of the human family can act as a thin yet unique
and indispensable thread in weaving a network of life that
embraces everyone. To weave the network of life, we set
our sights on the “Author of Life’ (Acts 3:15) and pray for
help to heal our ailing planet. We invite every Catholic
and all people of good will who care for our common
home to increase efforts towards ecological conversion.
May our witness reflect the words and deeds of Jesus, who
‘went about doing good and healing’ (Acts 10:38).” Let us
all try to live the adage “What Would Jesus Do” as we go
about our lives in these fast changing and somewhat
perilous times.
VIDEO TEAM HELP NEEDED
We are looking to put together a video team of 4-6 people
to help run the video equipment at our Masses and other
Parish events. We have someone that is willing to train
people. If you’re interested in being part of this team or in
getting more information please email Pat at
[email protected] Thank you!

“I Am the Vine and You the
Branches”
Our Offertory hymn this week,
“Vine and Branches” is a
beautiful song based on John
15:5. Each verse of this song
reflects an inspiring and
important message from this
chapter. Verse one: “A new
commandment I give you, even
as I love you, now love one
another.” Verse two: “No greater love is there than this, to
lay down your life for your friend’s.” Verse three: “I am
the living bread from heaven, if you eat this bread you will
live forever.” Verse four: “All those who eat my flesh and
drink my blood remain in me and I in them.” Verse five:
“The words that I have spoken are spirit and life.” and
Verse six: “And now I have washed your feet so you must
do as I have done.” It inspires us to go forth and do as the
refrain says, “You will bear great fruit in me.”
