A Note from Our Pastor,

I think that it is safe to say that we are very happy to know that we shall soon be able to have public Masses again here at St. Agatha Church. This past Wednesday we had an extensive staff meeting to

discuss the process of re-opening our beautiful Church build-ing. Many are wondering when exactly our Church will be open again for Mass. We are hopeful that on Pentecost Sunday the last day of May we will have fulfilled all the requirements necessary to help ensure the safety and the health of all who come to St. Agatha’s for Mass. And, if we are able to do so by next weekend, that is when public Masses will resume. We are including in this bulletin the 21-point checklist that we have to attest has been fulfilled before we are able to open our Church. In addition we are hoping to put together a video to be posted on our website prior to the May 30–31 weekend, so that pa-rishioners will be able to view how it is envisioned for them to enter and exit the church, and go up to and return from receiv-ing Holy Communion.

I want to make mention of some of the items on the COVID-19 Checklist. Our upper Church’s maximum permitted occu-pancy is 858 people. We are permitted to have 40% of that number, but with the caveat that the six foot social distancing be observed. That amounts to 343 people, but because of the proximity of the pews to each other, we have to have 2 pews empty for each pew that is occupied, which of course reduces considerably the number of people allowed for each Mass. So, many pews will be roped off to prevent anyone from sitting there. We’ll also likely have to mark some pews as family pews: meaning that members of the same family household can sit together and remain closer than 6 feet apart. Other pews will have room for fewer people because of the 6 foot distance required between people. All people coming to Mass must wear face coverings or masks, with a couple of excep-tions. People who cannot wear a mask because of a medical reason are exempted from this rule, as are children under the age of 2, and between age 2 and 5, at the parent’s discretion. There will be a number of signs outside and some inside the Church, as well as markings on the floor to indicate the direc-tion for folks to travel into, out of, and within the Church building so as to maintain the 6 foot social distance require-ment. This also means that only some of the Church doors will be unlocked, again to ensure the orderly entrance of peo-ple into the Church. We are asking parishioners, in addition to wearing a face covering, to bring some hand sanitizer with them. The Church will also have some sanitizers available for those who need them. If soap and water are needed, there will be access to the restrooms on the lower level.

Those of you who might have been considering making your offering to the parish electronically are respectfully encour-aged to do so. For others, there will be collection baskets placed in several places in the Church into which your offer-ing can be dropped. You will note that hymnals, Bibles, and any other written material have been removed from the pew racks, so as to minimize the possibility of carrying contami-

nation. At Mass, in addition to the priest-celebrant and possi-bly the deacon, there will be a reader and perhaps another Minister of Holy Communion. There will be an orderly flow to Holy Communion with signage and perhaps ushers assist-ing, again keeping the 6 foot distance, and Communion will be received in the hand (without a glove), but both the one distributing and the one receiving Holy Communion will wear a mask. After receiving the Sacred Host, the communi-cant will step to the side, remove the mask, and swallow the Host, and then proceed back to his or her pew. People who are not receiving Holy Communion are also asked to come up in procession, and then continue back with the flow to the pew. At the end of Mass, people will be expected to leave fairly quickly, in an orderly fashion, following the signage and /or the direction of ushers. Once everyone has left the Church building after Mass, the building will be cleaned and disinfected before the people for the next Mass are admitted.

While some of our Masses will have instrumental music and cantors, there will be no choirs or congregational singing, so as to minimize the possible spread of the virus. There will also be no altar servers, because of the necessity of keeping the 6-foot distance requirement. At this time we are anticipating having 4 weekend Masses: at 4:30pm on Saturday, and 8am, 11am, and 5pm on Sunday. We expect that there will be instrumental mu-sic and a cantor at all the Masses EXCEPT the 8am. The rea-son for the reduction of Masses is because we need to clean the Church building thoroughly after every Mass.

Cardinal Sean has extended the suspension of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, so people in vulnerable categories or with compromised health should not feel compelled to come to Mass. In fact, we’ll continue to livestream our Masses throughout this next phase. Of course, we are looking for-ward to gathering with one another in our Church and wor-shipping our Lord, and sharing in the Holy Eucharist once again as a community of faith. And, if our staff and parish-ioners working with us this week can accomplish all that needs to be done to ensure the safety and good health of all those returning to St. Agatha Church for Mass, what a joy it will be to celebrate the Solemnity of the Outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday!

While this new experience of coming to and exiting from Mass might rightfully feel somewhat regimented because of the COVID-19 protocols that we are asked to follow, I’m sure you can understand that all these requirements are so that the good health of our community of faith can be main-tained. I feel confident, however, that after we all adjust to these novel developments, the joy, peace, and strength that will be ours from our worship together of Almighty God will far outweigh any inconveniences along the way!

Have a happy Memorial Day weekend and a blessed week!

Fr. Palardy

THE WEEKLY UPDATE

THEME: We remain at the heart of Jesus mission.

What words of phrases in today’s reading touch your heart and mind? What feeling do you have after hearing the in-structions of Peter?

Reading II : 1 Peter 4:13-16

Beloved: Rejoice to the extent that you share in the sufferings of Christ, so that when his glory is revealed you may also rejoice exultantly. If you are insulted for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. But let no one among you be made to suffer as a murderer, a thief, an evildoer, or as an intriguer. But whoever is made to suffer as a Christian should not be ashamed but glorify God because of the name.

Pastoral Planning

May 24 ~ Seventh Sunday of Easter In today’s readings from the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel of John, the Church reminds us how important pray-er is in the life of a disciple. First we hear of the scene in the upper room, where all the Apostles gathered with Mary, the Mother of Jesus to devote themselves to prayer. Then in the Gospel, we hear Jesus praying to his Father for us! Consider the effect prayer had on Jesus, Mary and the disciples! Pray for the grace to develop a daily habit of prayer and when you do—take note of how your life changes!

This week we are planning for the gradual re-opening of the Church and Parish Offices. This is an evolving process, so please check the website over the course of the week to learn more about when Masses will again be open to the public and how that whole process will work. With the help of the Finance Council and School Board we are continuing to work on getting through this fiscal year and planning for Fiscal 2021. As you can imagine, there are many unknowns which make planning tricky. However, one thing that is abundantly clear is that both St. Agatha Parish and St. Aga-tha School have strong support from the members of their respective communities. This strong support is a vivid indi-cation that the parish and school will not just survive this crisis but will emerge even stronger. The continued finan-cial support of parishioners through the mail and online has been remarkable and edifying. In the last 10 days, $11,018 has been contributed. Likewise the support for our school has been strong, as evidenced by the fact that the number of registrations and re-registrations has jumped in the last week to over 225 students. If that trend continues we will have as many if not more students for this upcoming year than we had last year! We are learning very valuable—albeit painful—lessons during this pandemic. But every-thing we have learned adds to the certainty that we will meet every challenge we face and celebrate our centennial with a renewed commitment to being God’s hands in our part of His vineyard.

Spring has always been a time of re-birth and emerging life. While our struggles with the pandemic and the cool and windy weather may have dampened spirits a bit, we do have some signs of Spring around the Church. Nature pro-vided the first signs of new life and beauty free of charge when the annuals that were planted last Fall began to bloom a couple of weeks ago. Then this past week, through the generosity of an anonymous donor, additional flowers were planted in front of the Church. For obvious reasons we will not be doing extensive plantings this year, but I’m sure you will agree that the flowers do help to lift spirits at least a little bit. And you can’t beat the price!

In Luke’s Gospel, Chapter 18:35–42 we read about the en-counter of the blind man on the Jericho roadside with Jesus. We read:

“As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant.37 They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.”38 And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”39 And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mer-cy on me!” And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glor ifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.”

I love that this story is told by Luke—Luke was a physician. It is no surprise that Luke’s Gospel presents the greatest number of healing stories in the four Gospels. It is no wonder that this physician, experienced at seeing the suffering of people, uses two different words to describe the blinds man’s calling out to Jesus. Scripture Scholar William Barclay states that verse 38 the man “calls out” which means an ordinary shout to attract atten-tion. Barclay says that in verse 39 the word “shout” refers to an instinctive shout of ungovernable emotion… a scream!—Luke highlights the blind man’s utter desperation.

Jesus stops and asks, “what do you want me to do for you?” Why does Jesus ask the obvious? I can think of two reasons: (1) to energize faith and cause it to be vocalized, or (2) to help the person himself determine what he wanted from Jesus. There is a similar question in the Gospel of St. John (5:6) to the paralyzed man at the Pool of Bethesda, Jesus asked “Do you want to get well?”

In both instances—the blind man and the paralyzed man—Jesus heals them immediately once they told him of their need.

How can we apply this story to our own spiritual journey?

1) Go to Jesus—encounter him.

2) Express your raw emotions to the Lord—from the depths of your soul, tell Jesus of your need.

3) Don’t allow the crowds (an unbelieving, secular culture) silence you or push you way.

4) Trust in Jesus—have faith that Jesus will make a way for you—and will help you in your needs.

5) Ask Jesus to heal your spiritual vision.

In this time of pandemic—with all its uncertainties, with its time of suffering physically. emotionally, and financially—carve out a few minutes of quiet each day. Pour out your heart

to Jesus. Listen carefully—can you hear him ask you—“what do you want me to do for you?”

When Jesus asks a question he is also making an offer of grace. If the person’s hear t is “good soil,” then the ques-tion will be a fruitful seed, leading them to new revelation. If their heart is not, well, that too will come to light. Do we want our transformation which healing brings?

It is upon receiving his sight that the blind man, “followed Jesus.” Does our blindness keep us from following Jesus to the best of our ability? Does our faith heal us?

God loves you and wants you to see clearly how loved you are!

Musical Notes: Looking Ahead

What a joy to be able to look for-ward to having public Masses again! As Fr. Palardy references in his col-umn, there are many changes that will have to be in place in order to

celebrate Mass together in Phase 1 of the reopening. Music during Mass will also feel and sound different, in order to comply with the safety directives of the Archdiocese.

To begin with, our three choirs will be on hold for now. Studies have shown that group singing spreads COVID-19 infection due to the more sustained and forceful exhalation of air. The deeper inhalation required is also a risk factor, so for now, it is safer that our choirs do not meet to rehearse or sing at Mass. This, as you can imagine, is very painful and sad for many of our choir members, whose ministry is a tremendously important to their faith and their lives. I would ask you to pray for the members of our Youth, Tradi-tional and Contemporary Choirs, who are not permitted to resume their ministry at this time.

In addition, the risks associated with group singing also mean that we are not permitted to have congregational sing-ing at Mass yet, although we may have a cantor and an in-strumentalist. Bearing in mind that singing is an important way we foster full, conscious and active participation in the liturgy, this presents a challenge. How do we encourage eve-ryone to participate in the Mass, when so much of that partic-ipation is singing the hymns, acclamations and responses?

For now, the solution will be to limit music to a few key parts of the Mass: the entrance, the Gospel Acclamation, the preparation rite, during holy communion, and at dismissal. We will recite certain parts of the Mass that are typically sung: the penitential act, the Gloria, the responsorial psalm, the Eucharistic acclamations and the Lamb of God.

We expect these modifications to be temporary, and look forward to the day when we may all sing together again. In the meantime, we will pray our responses with the spoken word, and joyfully sing to the Lord in our hearts.

God bless,

Julie Fay, Music Director and Organist
