Dear fellow laborers in the vineyard of the Lord,
This Sunday’s readings challenge us to seek the ways of the Lord in all things and to conduct ourselves in a
way worthy of the gospel of Christ. In the parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, God is beckoning us to be
generous to all.
That does not seem too difficult of a task, does it? But in our own humanity, how many times have we
questioned God's compassion and merciful love to others? Do we dare admit we have envied his generosity to
our friends, family or colleagues? If we are being totally honest with ourselves, we might even perceive our
own antipathy towards others who have been lavished in God’s graciousness. Have you ever thought or said
the following: Are you kidding me? What has she done to deserve that? I have been here longer, I have
worked harder than him, there is no way possible, I don’t understand, why not me?
God's benevolence transcends our limited understanding. He is kind and merciful, not because we deserve it
but because of his infinite goodness.
The readings are calling us to seek God in all things, to be generous to all and in doing so, we will conduct
ourselves in a way worthy of the gospel of Christ.
So, as we embark on a new week, let us be mindful of seeking God in all encounters of our day. Let us ask
Him to align our thoughts and actions with His thoughts and actions.
May we seek justice for all and be more charitable with our gifts and resources; especially with those who turn
to us at the last hour as well as the laborers who have toiled in the vineyard more than their fair share.
God, we humbly ask you to help us turn our ways into your ways.
Amen.
Fr. Sebastian
Guidelines for attending Mass:
If you are healthy, go to Mass to hear God’s Word with your brothers and sisters in the faith and
receive the Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. But if you fear that going to Mass could be dangerous to you or
others, remember that the obligation to go to Sunday Mass remains suspended.
You MUST wear a mask during the entire Mass, only briefly adjusting to receive Communion.
You will be directed to fill the church from the front to the back, and be excused from Mass from the back to the front.
Everyone please process up for communion. If you choose not to receive, simply cross your arms across your body. This prevents others from climbing over you as they move through the pew.
After receiving Communion, please step to the side (6 ft away from Fr, place is marked) before lifting mask to consume the Holy Eucharist.
Maintain a 6ft distance from others, when entering, during and when leaving Mass.
Hand sanitizer will be applied to your hands upon entering and leaving the church.
Please do not linger, congregate in the back of the church, or parking lot before or after Mass.
Please be patient and kind. This is new for everyone and our volunteers are trying to keep everyone safe.
Still not sure what to do?? Check out this video on www.dwc.org
Special Collection for disaster relief
“Most Rev. Mark Brennan, Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, has approved a special
collection to be held the weekend of September 19-20 in all parishes and missions throughout the diocese
to support recovery efforts related to the recent natural disasters that have occurred across the country (US
Gulf hurricanes and the western wildfires) as well as the devastating explosion that occurred in Beirut,
Lebanon.
Proceeds from this collection will support the humanitarian and recovery efforts of Catholic Charities USA
and Catholic Relief Services and will provide pastoral support and rebuilding assistance to impacted
dioceses through the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
As we hold the victims and first responders in our prayers during these critical days, let us also spend time
in prayer and discernment as we prepare for this upcoming collection. Let us come together now to support
our brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering this horrible loss.
Please remember in prayer those who have lost their lives as a result of these disasters, as well as all those
who are injured and lost their homes, cars, employment, access to food and water and to those who remain
without electricity or are stranded.”
Please make checks payable parish/mission and on the memo line indicate: Special Collection for disaster relief.
The flowers for the altar were donated by John and Angie
Genovesi in loving memory of Mary and Sam Genovesi
and deceased members of the Disibbio and Aker’s
families.
We extend our deepest sympathy to Sharon Rothausen
on the death of her sister, Cindy Rothausen-
Quackenbush who passed away on September 9th. May
our Lord comfort and send her peace to all who mourn
and may Cindy rest eternally in the arms of Jesus, and
in the company of all the angels and saints.

Faith Formation 2020—2021
I received from the Lord what I handed on to you.
The 2020 Catechetical Sunday theme is taken from St. Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians, “I Received from the Lord what I
also Handed on to You.” The theme focuses on the primary substance of catechesis, which is an invitation to a whole new life
given by Christ Himself. It emphasizes that living faith necessitates movement, inspiring all those who hear the Word to share
it as witnesses of the true and living God. Sacred Heart will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on October 4, 2020. Those who
the Church Community has designated to serve as catechists will have their names called out during Mass. Catechetical Sunday
is an opportunity for all to rededicate themselves to this mission as a community of faith. Though our Faith Formation will be
handled differently this year by zoom meetings, please keep all in prayer as we navigate through this time until we can return
to the school building again.
The RCIA Team is seeking individuals interested in joining the Catholic faith. Come on a journey with us to Catholicism. The
Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process for welcoming new members. Our first Inquiry Session will be
Wednesday, September 23 at 5pm in the church building. Come into the sanctuary and the team will meet you there. Social
distancing and wearing a facial covering will be observed. If you know someone who may want to start the process this fall,
please give their name to Claire Lampert at 304-921-2455 or Julia Harrison at 304-327-5623.
