NOTICE: Bishop McElroy announced that “as of July 1st, the deep moral obligation of Catholics to attend Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday will be restored.”

Live streaming was meant to be a short-term option to celebrate Mass safely. As we transition to the new normal, the volunteer ministry will temporarily continue to live stream Sunday Mass as we assess the need.
Music For
The 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

This week our music for Mass should all be familiar except for possibly the last song,
‘10,000 Reasons’ https://youtu.be/IikiXah9OVM.

You can find the words to this and all the other songs in this attachment.

The Gospel this week tells the story of the woman who sought Christ’s healing by simply touching his garment and that inspired most of the music choices below that are based on that story or on healing or faith.

I chose the next song because of this week’s second reading.

This week’s toe-tapper isn’t based on the readings, but on the idea that this is not our home; that our home is with God. I just couldn’t pass it up.

Have a wonderfully blessed week and enjoy the music. God bless!

The 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy Father’s Day! This week I’m sharing a few songs for Father’s Day and a few more based on the Gospel in which Jesus calms the storm that was threatening to sink the boat he and the disciples were on. The lyrics for the songs at Mass can be found in this attachment. I don’t think any of them are truly new, although you may be less familiar with the last song, ‘Blest Be the Lord.’ It’s been around a long time, but some of my choir members didn’t know it, so here is a link for you. https://youtu.be/BW5DHXIU43Y

Here are my musical sharings of the week.

For Father’s Day:

Songs with a variety of styles but all based on the Gospel:

And this week’s toe-tapper is one that we older folks are sure to remember:

Once again, happy Father’s Day to all and with the ending of restrictions, I’m sure there will be many happy family gatherings this weekend. God bless you all.

New Mass Guidelines

New Mass Guidelines

Dear Sacred Heart Family,

On June 15th, the California Department of Public Health provided updated guidance pertaining to state and county regulations. In response to the latest news, the bishops met and consulted with the Executive Board of the Presbyteral Council and the Board of Deans to further discuss the lifting of restrictions in the Diocese of San Diego. In a letter to all priests, Bishop McElroy provided the following update:

  1. All the restrictions on capacity and spacing for worship and all limitations on meetings and social activities are lifted as of June 17, 2021.
  2. Masks will be optional. No one is to ask whether someone has been vaccinated or not. “Please don’t judge others. If I stop judging others, I free myself from being judged and I can dance!” Patti Digh
  3. Distribution of the Eucharist may again be received on the tongue or will continue to be available in the hand.
  4. The reintroduction of the shared cup will be determined sometime in the future.
  5. Alterations in liturgical spaces and practices necessitated by the pandemic can now cease at the discretion of the pastor. This includes filling the fonts.
  6. It is recommended that non-family members bringing Eucharist to the sick should be vaccinated.
  7. We no longer will video / live stream outside Masses as of July 1st.

The dispensation from the normal obligation to attend Sunday Mass will end on July 1st. We are grateful for this update as we plan for the full reopening of our catechetical ministries and activities this summer and fall. Particularly, we are grateful to our dedicated staff and volunteers for navigating this past year with all its uncertainties and changes with astounding faith and grace.

Here’s a “shout out” to Gregg & June Sprosty who were our live-stream pioneers who stepped up and contributed their talents to help us out, and very special kudos to Janice Teixeira and the Opening Team Committee who faithfully navigated us through the virtual journey during the pandemic. You all are truly an example of great discipleship!!! Thank you all!
