    A Few Words from Fr. Dariusz..

 

3RD SUNDAY OF LENT

Last weekend the priests in our Vicariate received an e-mail from our Archbishop Allen Vigneron announcing the new moderators for families of parishes in our region.  The info that I am including is a direct quotation from the e-mail.  Please be familiar with this new structure that will officially begin on July 1st, 2021.

Sunday, February 28, 2021

"Reverend Timothy Birney, appointed Moderator of the In Solidum team of priests who, with the other priests of the team, will lead the newly formed Downriver Vicariate Family 1 (Our Lady of the Angels Parish, Taylor; SS. Andrew and Benedict Parish, Detroit; St. Alfred Parish, Taylor; St. Andre Bessette Parish, Ecorse; St. Constance Parish, Taylor; St. Frances Cabrini Parish, Allen Park; St. Mary Magdalen Parish, Melvindale) effective July 1, 2021.  Father Birney currently serves as Pastor of St. Frances Cabrini Parish, Allen Park".
My understanding is that pastors, who are in parishes right now, will continue day to day operations but the final decisions regarding the family will be done by the moderator (priest).  If you need more information about Families of Parishes please visit the Archdiocese of Detroit website and do the search.  My guess we will have to lean and adjust accordingly.  I do not know all the details but I will be attending many meetings in the near future.  I hope I will get a chance to stay with you for another few years but this decision will be made by the Assignment Board and approved by the Archbishop.

Now let us turn to our readings for this weekend.

In the First Reading, Peter shows great courage when he confronts the people with their part in the death of Jesus.  He goes on to excuse them on the grounds that they acted in ignorance.  We can assume that he used the words spoken by the Lord while He was dying on the cross, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."  He urges them to repent, assuring them that if they do, their sins will be forgiven.

In the Second Reading, we read that Jesus is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.

In the Gospel, St. Luke's primary interest is to show that the Risen Jesus is the same person the apostles had known prior to the crucifixion.  He emphasizes the reality of Jesus' bodily Resurrection, but makes it clear that the Resurrection is not a return to earthly life.  Jesus has risen to a new life beyond death.  St. Luke tells that Jesus also gives them a mission which is the proclamation of repentance and forgiveness of sins.

This mission can only be achieved by the grace of God the Father and the power of the Holy Spirit in the Most Holy Name of Jesus.

As we continue our journey towards our heavenly kingdom let us keep in mind that Jesus suffered in our place for the forgiveness of our sins.  Let us call upon the Spirit of Christ to teach us to perceive the atoning sacrifice of Jesus, the tremendous love that Jesus has for each of us.

God bless you all, 

Fr. Dariusz

New Guidelines

 For people attending Mass and other services at Our Lady of the Angels Parish

~ REVISED ~

If you are 65 y/o or older you are not required to be in church. You can watch Mass on television or on the Internet (if we find a volunteer to do that for us, we will post Masses on the Internet).

 
IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO FLU OR YOU DO NOT FEEL GOOD,

DO NOT COME TO CHURCH.

You MUST wear a mask at all time in order to enter the buildings. 

You MUST practice social distancing. 

If you come to Church with your family members, you MUST practice social distancing while taking a seat in Church, unless otherwise stated. 

If it is possible bring your own hand sanitizer with you.  (You can also bring your own wet wipes and gloves if you need them).

Avoid touching unnecessary things in Church.

Since it takes a lot of time to clean the whole Church, the Sunday Mass schedule will be changed.

Weekend Masses will be celebrated on Saturday at 4 pm, Sunday at 11:30 am.

Daily Masses will be celebrated on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at 8:45 am. If there is a funeral, the morning Mass will be canceled.

If you bring gloves, wet wipes etc, do not leave them in the pews. Take them home with you or dispose them on the way out. DO NOT LEAVE THEM IN YOUR PEWS!

Regarding communion
At this time only a priest will be distributing communion. Before you receive communion, you bow 6 feet away from the priest, say amen, remove your mask and the priest places the Eucharist in your hand (YOU CANNOT WEAR GLOVES WHEN RECEIVNG COMMUNION!)

There are marks on the floor to help you with social distancing while receiving Communion.

I highly discourage anyone from receiving Communion on a tongue. I will need to wash my hand every time I give Communion on a tongue.

Regarding votive candles. 
You can now light candles in the Church.  You MUST sanitize your hands before and after lighting any candles.

Regarding donations:
There is one box in Church and one in the Parish Office for Sunday offertory.  When you come to Church or the Parish Office, please drop your donation off in the box.

Confessions
Confessions are by Appointment Only.  You will need to stay in your car with your mask on to confess your sins.  Face to face option only.  Please call the office to schedule an appointment.

When you get home please wash your hands.

In the end, I hope this can help us to stay safe. There might be other changes taking place regarding our safety. I will try to adjust when I see where such changes are needed.  Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding during this time.

God’s blessing to all of you.
Fr. Dariusz
