 A Few Words from Fr. Dariusz

 

Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

I would like to congratulate our young adults who were Confirmed on Monday, October 5th, 2020.  I want to assure you of my prayers for you and your families.  It was my honor to be the celebrant of the Sacrament of Confirmation.  I would like to thank your parents, family members and friends for supporting you during your time of preparation.  I would like to say thank you to our Religious Education Department for your hard work in preparing those young adults for this Sacrament of Initiation.  Thank you.

In the first Reading, Isaiah had been addressed by God about God's infinite power.  He said that by God's infinite power, nations had been subdued and kings stripped of their robes.  Doors had been opened for His anointed one and the gates shall not be closed.  Then, the Lord God proceeded to say that He was the Lord.  There is no other God beside Him.  The Lord God is speaking of His almightiness.  The promise of the New Covenant is forever.  God, unchanging in His nature and promises, will never take away from us the promise of salvation.

In the Second Reading St. Paul says that we learn more about the greatness of God.  This letter was addressed to the church as a whole.  By uniting God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ in the introduction of the Letter, Paul was confirming the Divinity of Christ.

Paul gives thanks to God in prayer for all the blessings that the Thessalonians had received.  He mentioned their work of faith, their labor of love and their steadfastness of hope in Jesus Christ.  The labor of love is a reflection of active charity.  As such, the prayer of thanksgiving to God embraces the virtues of faith, hope and charity that had been bestowed upon the thessalonians.  St. Paul says that it was not just his words that transformed the Thessalonians, but the "power" of the Holy Spirit.  Giving credit where it rightfully belongs, Paul made it clear that it was the Holy Spirit who was responsible for all the spiritual manifestations of righteousness.

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus was asked if it was lawful to pay taxes to the emperor or not? His answer was very simple, give to God what belongs to God and give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar.

Belonging to God means that we are called to become His image here on earth.  We are called to actively maintain our gifts by living our faith in Christ.

Today's message is simple; let us appreciate what God has given us.  By the power of the Holy Spirit, let us preserve our gifts and blessings with all our souls, our minds, our spirits, our hearts and our strength.  Let us keep these gifts stainless so that one day, when we will appear before the Lord God, we will proudly give Him back what He gave us.

God bless you all. 

Fr. Dariusz

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.

We can only have 103 people in church. Overflow can go to the parish center (there is a limited number of seats 59) Do not come if you do not have a ticket.  For the time being, it is single seating set up which means even family members need to practice social distancing (it may be adjusted in the future)

Each family member needs an individual ticket for the weekend Masses.  You must attend the Mass stated on the ticket.  YOU MAY NOT CHANGE THE DAY.  (There are different colored tickets for Masses).

NEW TICKET INFORMATION: new tickets have been issued, if you do not have your new tickets, please contact the office.  you MUST speak to someone and cannot leave a message.  Those tickets will be valid until further notice.  For the Sunday mass, we have a limited number of Stand By tickets.  Please come to the Parish Office to get your tickets.

You do not need a ticket to attend daily Mass.  A few pews will be designated for you.  Use those only.  Do not remove any tapes from the restricted area (We do not need to clean the whole Church) Please adapt to this change.  Please do not move any chairs in the Church.

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 will be 2 boxes in Church and in the parish center. One will be for Sunday offertory; the other will be for festival tickets. When you come to Church please drop them off in those boxes.

Regarding Mass tickets:
Only registered members qualify for receiving a ticket. If you are not a member yet but attend our services please fill out the form provided on our website and send it back ASAP.

When you call the office do not leave any messages. You must talk to a secretary to reserve a ticket for yourself and your family members. Office hours are now: Mon.- Tues.- Thurs.- Fri. 9 AM - 3 PM, lunch from 12-1PM.  The Parish Office is closed on Wednesdays.

You will be able to pick up your ticket at the office.  Due to pew assignments, please arrive at least 10 minutes prior to the start of Mass, otherwise we will have to give your pew assignment to those with Stand By Tickets.

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.

Leaving the Church
One of the ushers or the priest will be directing parishioners to leave the Church by aisle making sure social distancing takes place.

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
