Bulletin Column for the 19th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

I wanted to thank all of you for the warm welcome you gave me and my brother priests - Fr. Luca and Fr. Michele - at all masses

this past weekend. The kindness and friendliness you showed us was heart warming.

A kind word, a simple welcome gesture and even just a smile are more important and valuable than big ceremonies or formal

greetings. At the end of the day, this is how God acts towards us: God shows His love and care in simple and ordinary ways. Take

the Eucharist, for example. What’s more ordinary and simple than bread and wine? They are part of our diet. Yet they are the most

precious gift the Son of God has given us: He comes in our midst under the appearances of bread and wine to dwell in our hearts

and transform our souls.

In the first reading this Sunday, the prophet Elijah is going through a tough time: the king and the queen of Israel were trying to

kill him and he needed to see a sign of God’s support to his mission. Elijah went on top of a mountain where God had promised to

reveal Himself to the prophet. Elijah saw amazing natural phenomena: a heavy find, a strong earthquake and a burning fire. Yet

God was not in those wonders. Elijah eventually heard “a tiny whispering sound”: God is coming!

God revealed Himself to Elijah in a gentle breeze, something that went unnoticed to everybody else but not to Elijah who was

looking for a sign of God’s preference and affection for him.

Let us imitate Elijah: we need to open our eyes to recognize God at work in our lives and our ears to hear Him speaking to us. Let

us be ready to see the sign of God’s presence among us.

Sometimes we find ourselves in a difficult situation or we might go through a tough time. Even then we need not to lose faith in

God but do as Peter did when he was walking on the water: beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Let us do the same

and cry out to Jesus to come and save us. He will certainly come to our rescue!

As I said during my homily last weekend, we priests came here to Sacred Heart because we - like you - hunger and thirst to hear

God’s message and receive Him in the sacraments. We want to work with you to help Sacred Heart parish community to grow and

flourish, to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and invite new people to come and join us in serving and praising God.

God bless,

Fr. Paolo Cumin FSCB

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

distancing, 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

communion. There will also be tape on the floor to show where to stand to de-mask 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 document, 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.
