Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament


The Bishops across all five Indiana dioceses have extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass until November 1, 2020.

It is NOT a permanent dispensation.

My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most

Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I

desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come

at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if

You have already come and unite myself wholly to

You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION PRAYER

Note From The Pastor

Staying Connected in time of COVID

We live in the digital age where sharing information is done in an instant, even across the globe.

We can text, email and even video chat with multiple people at a time. This has been a blessing

during this time of pandemic, but it has also left us with a challenge – how to do more to share

information that actually communicates and builds relationships. Let me share an all too familiar

example.

My mother lives in a long-term care facility, Holy Family Residence, in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is run by

the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Little Sisters don’t just care for the elderly as a ministry, they take

them into their home. It is run as a community or home. I have often stayed there when I have returned

to Minnesota. The pandemic has radically changed this. When I was in Minnesota in June, I wasn’t able

to stay there and my visits with my mother were through a window or with her standing at her 3rd floor

window with me in the parking lot talking with her by phone. We would share experiences, catch up on

news, and communicate. I appreciated seeing her, since she is not able to do video chats. Still, it was

lacking important elements of communication. There is a lot of communication that is lost when it is not

in person — eye contact, facial expressions, simple touch, etc. That is what the Little Sisters create in

their homes and what creates community. I am sure many of you have had similar experiences with your

loved ones either in care facilities or across the country. Creating and maintaining relationships involves

more that simple sharing of information.

That is also true for our parish. We have tried to communicate by livestreaming Mass, emails and links

to view our bulletin. Even those who have returned to Church for Mass know that communication is

difficult when interaction is in passing, with masks, or when conversation is limited to a parking lot

encounter. This hasn’t changed the need for the communication, it is just very challenging.

We can and will work to address this challenge. I welcome your ideas and input. At Holy Spirit, one

thing that you may notice is an upgrade to the livestream capability. At St. John Vianney, we are

looking into what is needed to improve our livestream quality. This should make the livestream

experience better for communication – you should be able to see facial expressions of priests and

liturgical ministers.

We will continue to use multiple means of communication. If you are someone who has not returned to

church and is unable to access or read the bulletin online, please let us know. We will mail it to you. If

you haven’t been to church and would like to receive Holy Communion, please let us know. We can

arrange a safe visit (masks, outdoors, brief) by a priest or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.

Now more than ever we all need the grace of Christ in the Eucharist.

If you haven’t been back to Church, please consider doing so. We would love to see you! If your

concern is exposure to the virus, consider a weekday Mass. There is plenty of space to be distant and the

Mass doesn’t last as long as the Sunday Masses. For your convenience, the schedules for both

Holy Spirit and St. John Vianney are listed in the bulletin. We have also shifted the Confession and

Exposition (Adoration) on Wednesday evening from St. John Vianney to Holy Spirit. This will be

Wednesday’s from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the main Church at Holy Spirit. Please consider joining us.

Finally, I would like to suggest that doing things the “old fashioned way” may have greater impact.

That is, call someone instead of an email or text. Write a note to tell someone you are praying for them.

Staying connected is important for everyone and our faith community.

“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”

~ St. Teresa of Calcutta

Yours in Christ,

The Catholic Ministries Appeal (formerly Fruitful

Harvest) will begin in our parish this weekend,

September 19-20, 2020. Prior to this weekend, you

should have received an envelope in the mail from

Bishop Doherty with a brochure explaining the many

ministries supported by this important appeal, as well

as a pledge card and return envelope for mailing.

The Appeal provides the opportunity for each of us

within our parish to share in the good works of our

diocesan family. By giving to the Catholic Ministries

Appeal, you are helping to support programs across

our diocese for our retired priests as well as new

seminarians, for our youth, Newman Centers,

deacons, prison ministry, pregnancy centers and so

much more.

Our parish family has been asked to raise $59,739.

Please note that the goals for St. John Vianney and

Holy Spirit are separate. In order to reach our goal, I

am asking each household to consider a gift that can

be paid over the next 16 months.

About the Gospel

Did your brother or sister ever get allowance

when they did not do their chores? It can feel

unfair when someone gets paid when they did

not work as hard as you did. Jesus says, “The

last will be first, and the first will be last.”

Jesus is generous. He reminds us there is room

for everyone in his Church and in Heaven. Visit

www.usccb.org/bible/readings to read this Sunday’s Scripture.

In Church

Before Mass starts, watch the people coming into the church.

See how people move over in their pew to make space for those

who arrive a little later. Everyone is welcome in God’s church.

Family Prayer

Dear Jesus, show us how to put others first. Remind us that you

love all of us and you want us to love each other.

Question of the Week

When did you want to be first, but did not get to be? Name

something positive about being last or putting others first.
