New Statement
Welcome to our St

us today. As we resume Masses in the Church, we want you to know, it is
ESSENTIAL that you abide by these heath safety protocols:
·
Take your temperature before attending Mass.
·
As you enter the church make sure you are wearing a mask and
please apply hand sanitizer.
·
Please wear your mask or other facial covering at any time
when you are not in the pew with your family, that includes when entering and
exiting the Church.
·
Please stay six feet or more from people who do not live with

Holy Communion, please remove your mask or facial covering and present one hand

please immediately replace your mask. These instructions are in keeping with
the US bishops’ directives for reception of the Holy Communion in the hand.
Remember, only the priest is required to receive Holy Communion.

Following the guidance of the public health officials, we are
not able to provide the Chalice or allow reception of the Most Precious Blood

Announcements
Today, we celebrate
The Ascension of the Lord!
On
the Feast of the Ascension, the church celebrates the return of Christ to the
Father, his physical body leaving the earth behind. The Ascension of the Lord
was traditionally celebrated as a Holy Day of Obligation on the Thursday after
the Sixth Sunday of Easter. But, not too long ago, most dioceses in the U.S.
moved the celebration of the Ascension to the Seventh Sunday of Easter.

I Think I
have a Headache
Lloyd
and Lynn, who were expecting their firs child, attended
Lamaze classes held at their parish. The parish nurse conducting the course
instructed everyone, “Ladies, remember that exercise is good for you. Walking
is especially beneficial. It strengthens the pelvic muscles and will make
delivery that much easier. Just pace yourself, make plenty of stops, and try to
stay on soft surface like grass.”
“Gentlemen,”
she continued, “remember you two are in this together. It wouldn’t
hurt you to go walking with your wife. In fact, that shared experience would be
good for you both.”
At
this point, Lloyd raised his hand. “I was just wondering,” he asked. “Would it
be helpful if my wife carries a golf bag while we walk?”
To
which the parish nurse responded, “It won’t hurt the baby, but you might get a
headache.”

What Should
a Catholic
Know about
Cremation?
The Catholic Church permits cremation. For a number of reasons, the church prefers the burial of the
body, but it does permit the celebration of a funeral with cremated remains.
Among the reasons in favor of burial of the body are
these:
·
Seeing the body confronts people with the mystery of
life and death.
·
The body naturally recalls stories of faith, family
and friend-ship, the words a person spoke, the deeds a
person performed.
·
Although we have virtual electronic friendships,
people best encounter another person through the body.
·
The body experienced the sacraments – being washed
in baptism and anointed in confirmation, and by eating and drinking the body
and blood of Christ in communion.
·
The body is destined for the glory of the
resurrection.
·
The final care of the body demonstrates dignity for
the whole person.
·
Burial imitates the burial of Jesus body, and thus
constitutes another layer of discipleship.
If a Catholic chooses cremation, the church prefers
that the final disposition of the remains be in a public place, such as a
cemetery.
Many
survivors make other arrangements: they retain the ashes at home, divide them
among family members, or scatter them to the elements. The Catholic Church
disapproves of these practices.
According to the Vatican’s Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith, the conservation of ashes in one’s home is not
permitted, nor may they be scattered in the air, on land or at sea. Ashes may
not be preserved in mementoes such as jewelry (Ad resurgendum
cum Christo).
The careful placement of ashes honors the remains of
the deceased in the same way that burial of the body does. Furthermore, it
gives a permanent place where future generations may visit to remember, and
where the person’s name can be honorably etched.
Some
crematoriums have a place where the family may gather during the process. If a
family desires to be together, they may spend the time offering suitable
prayers of thanksgiving and hope, such as Psalms 23, 25, 42, 51, 93, 114 and
115:1-12, 116, 118, 119, 121, 122, 123, 126, 130, 132 or 134.
There
are three possibilities for the sequence of events. Here they are in order of
preference:
1. The body
of the deceased is present for the vigil service and the funeral Mass, and
cremation happens before the committal at the cemetery. In this case, the body
may be placed first in a ceremonial coffin that will be interred, and the
removed from it for the cremation.
2. The
cremation and committal take place before the funeral Mass. In this case, the
cremated remains are interred in a cemetery or mausoleum, and then the mourners
gather for the Eucharist.
3. The
cremation takes place before any of the funeral rites begin, and the cremated
remains are present for the vigil, the Mass, and the committal.
Whenever
the ashes are presented in public for the funeral services, they should be
treated with the same dignity and respect offered a human body. The container
should be dignified, and the pallbearers should carry it with honor. Because of
the compact nature of the ashes. Someone may be tempted to carry it more
casually. It is all that remains of a human being. It deserves respect.
