Pastorial Update from Father Kevin

Having spent considerable time reading the opinions of medical journalists and speaking with medical professionals and praying for wisdom before the Blessed Sacrament, I have concluded that “family units” may sit together at church while maintaining “social distancing” from other “family units” and single persons. This arrangement begins on July 11 & 12, 2020.

Due to continued Social distancing requirements - space is still limited so you will need to contact the parish office to be placed on the list if you plan to attend.

July 6th week only please call Sister Lydia (270-422-4935) to sign up for Mass.

Starting the week of July 13 you may contact us one of two ways
1) EMAIL (sjsecretary@bbtel.com) OR 2) call 270-422-2196.
Please state which Mass you would like to attend and the number of persons in your party.

THE DEADLINE TO SIGN UP IS 12NOON ON THURSDAYS.

When you arrive at Church (through the main doors) please tell the Usher your name, use the available hand sanitizer and you will then be seated by an Usher, every other pew will remain empty.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,
I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Archbishop Kurtz

Social Distancing, Sign of the Peace, and Holy Communion

Please wear a mask and keep it on throughout Mass until Communion time.
Upon entering the church through the front main doors, use the available hand sanitizer. Three (3) PERSONS ONLY WILL BE SITTING IN A PEW. EVERY OTHER PEW WILL REMAIN EMPTY.  Each individual, whether part of a couple or family, are expected to social distance at 6 feet apart. Members of families that have not made their First Communion should remain at home with a responsible party. 

Sign of Peace: continue bowing to those around you, a sign that you respect your neighbor’s humanness and value their life as much as you do your own.

Holy Communion: Before receiving Holy Communion, maintain 6 feet from the person in front of you, remove your mask before receiving and then put it back on as you return to your pew. 

Parish Life/Liturgy

Click above to go to webpage

Devotional life of the Church. ... In its devotion the Church makes a distinction (Catechism of the Catholic Church, s2132) between respectful veneration on one hand and adoration or worship on the other. Adoration is due to God alone - this includes the Eucharist, since Christ is truly present.

Bulletins

Click more to see our bulletins

Parish bulletins often get ignored. We grab them after Mass, glance over them while we eat our donut and drink our coffee, and then usually get discarded a day or two later. However, parish bulletins are actually most common and frequent means a pastor has to communicate with his flock outside of the liturgy. As such, they provide many pastoral and catechetical opportunities that frequently go untapped. Please take a few moments and read them
