Most Holy Trinity

Dear Fellow Parishioners,

Happy Most Holy Trinity Sunday! The lyrics for this week’s songs can be found in this attachment.

John has another song this week that I don’t know called “I Am the Living Bread” by David Haas. It’s not a new song, but I haven’t heard it before so maybe you haven’t either. You can hear it at this link: https://youtu.be/2Q_ltPrU47U

I found a lovely song celebrating the Holy Trinity to share with you today:

 “Father, Son, Spirit” by Jason Upton https://youtu.be/qULnbRmU0F8

The other song this week is a share from Fr. Tom:

“Irish Blessing” https://youtu.be/TascsWZPj8U

Until next week, stay safe and stay healthy.

Masses Reopening

Announcements
Re-Opening of Sacred Heart of OB Safely
On June 13th and 14th

Last week the Diocese gave us permission to have a modified reopening of our Church which will begin on Saturday, June 13th. Please be kind and understand that we are working to make a safe and enjoyable celebration of the Eucharist. These changes are all temporary and will be amended as necessary while we move forward. We will get through this together.

We ask that anyone who has a vulnerable condition or lives with someone who does, you must very seriously consider NOT attending church yet. The obligation to attend Mass is still dispensed by the Bishop. The Masses will be available so you can view them from home.

As we reopen, we must adhere to the CDC, State and Diocese guidelines by wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and following sanitation protocols for everyone’s safety.

Mass times will be the same as before:
  • Weekdays-8:00 AM
  • Saturdays-4:30 PM
  • Sundays-8:00 & 10:00 AM & 5:00 PM
There is a lot of additional information about protocols for you in the document that is attached. It contains the safety guidelines. Please download it.

Pentecost Sunday

May 30 2020

Announcements
Pentecost

Dear Fellow Parishioners:

Have a happy and blessed Pentecost Sunday! This week’s lyrics can be found in this attachment. John opens this Sunday’s Mass with a song we haven’t sung in a long time, “Table of Plenty.” Here’s a link so you can hear it:

I have two additional songs to share with you on this special feast day. The first is one the choirs would have sung for you today in normal times:

“In the Breaking of the Bread” by Michael Ward sung here by Kitty Cleveland. I love this song for Pentecost because it reminds us that even though the disciples had seen Jesus and recognized him in the breaking of the bread, they were still too afraid to go out and share the good news until the Holy Spirit descended upon them.

The other is by another virtual choir. (I wish we had the technical ability to do this with our choir!) This one is by the Eastern Mennonite School. “Don’t Be Afraid”

Have a wonderful, blessed week and stay safe!

Need Ministers of Hospitality

We Need Ministers of Hospitality
For the Reopening of Mass

As Masses will be reopening At Sacred Heart on Saturday June 13th and Sunday June 14th, we are in great need of people of all ages and walks of life who are willing to help as Ministers of Hospitality. This Pandemic has made the need for ushering more important than ever as there are guidelines we must adhere to in order for Mass to be possible.

We need Ministers of Hospitality for both weekend and weekday Masses. They will make sure that everyone is wearing a mask, provide hand sanitizer, help seat people to make sure social distancing is being practiced in the seating and more to make sure people are following all the guidelines we need to in order for Mass to be celebrated.

NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY, just a willing heart. There will be a meeting to train all Ministers of Hospitality so that everyone feels confident, competent and ready to serve at Masses until things go back to normal.

The training meeting will be Wednesday June 10th at 7:00 in the Church.

To sign up to be a Minister of Hospitality please email Pat Gunning at youthminister@sacredheartob.org to learn more. Please do this ASAP so that we can create a schedule ahead of the training meeting.

Weekend of June 13-15, 2020

May 26 2020

Announcements

A big thank you to Gregg Sprosty for pointing out that your Parish Communications Team is not very good at proof reading his work. Of course our daily Mass begins on Monday June 15th. Here is the schedule of when Mass resumes in a hopefully easy to read format.

Saturday June 13th:
  • 4:30 PM Mass
Sunday June 14th:
  • 8:00 AM Mass
  • 10:00 AM Mass
  • 5:00 PM Mass
Daily Weekday Mass Resumes June 15th:
  • 8:00 AM Mass

We hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe.

In the previous email you were informed that in the last few weeks, we have been working on a plan to reopen the church to gather again as a community. The Diocese received our plans, and the Bishop has given approval to reopen for Masses at Sacred Heart Church.

We are excited about this news. We had the option to open as early as Monday, June 8. However, we will have our first public Mass on Saturday, June 13th and our daily Mass will begin Monday, June 15th. Fr. Tom and the committee thought this would be best, so we feel we are doing everything possible, to keep everyonesafe and heathy. By then we will have all the volunteers familiar with the procedures and allthe supplies ordered and received as well as all the priests scheduled.

We are still in need of volunteers who would be willing to help with the new hospitality procedures. This involves distributing hand sanitizer, ensuring that everyone is wearing a mask, and seating parishioners as they enter the church. Please do not volunteer if you feel in anyway uncomfortable, if you have underlying health conditions, or if you are feeling sick.

Thank you all for your patience and your continued faith during these trying times.

Masses will continue to be available online. A Mass will be Livestream for your stay at home viewing. You can find the Masses at www.sacredheartob.org.

God bless you all. Until we can be together again…
