MEMORIAL DAY MASS WILL TAKE
PLACE IN THE PARKING LOT
OUTSIDE THE MAIN DOORS OF THE
CHURCH (WEATHER PERMITTING)
ON MONDAY, MAY 25 AT 9:00 am.
Parishioners are encouraged to park
their cars at a distance from the church to allow room for people to
place the chairs provided or the ones they bring from home in the
parking spaces closer to the church. People can spread out in that
area and keep social distancing. The priest or communion ministers
will bring holy communion to you at your seats or to your area. You
are encouraged to wear your face mask or face covering to Mass. We
do so out of concern for one another. Please maintain social distance
as you gather for Mass, as you celebrate Mass, and as you head
home. If the weather is poor, Mass will be in the church and blue
painter’s tape marks where to sit for Mass or stand for communion
procession. Again, please maintain social distance and wear your
face mask. Thanks and have a great holiday weekend.
THE PARISH OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED THAT DAY.
SOME GENERAL THOUGHTS ON RETURNING TO PARISH LIFE:
We will resume weekday Masses at 8:00 AM on Monday through
Friday. The 8:00 Mass will be live-streamed daily for those who wish
to participate from home. We will not have a Mass at 11:00 AM or 7:00
PM until we have a better sense of how things are operating with the
return process. We will have three weekend liturgies: 4:00 on
Saturday, and 7:30 and 10:30 on Sunday. This schedule allows us the
needed time to sanitize the church as is required. If we need to add
another Mass, we will do so. The plan is to take this one month at a
time and see how things are going. The Saturday 4:00 Mass will be
live-streamed each week for those who choose to stay home.
The holy water font will remain empty and the song books/missals
have been put into storage. You are free to bring your own missal to
Mass but be sure to take it home with you. A number of parishioners
have made face masks and they are available to those who need them.
Please take them home with you and bring them back to use again the
next weekend. They may be washed with other clothing at home. For
the time being we will not need altar servers and there will not be
congregational singing to avoid the natural tendency to take off a face
mask to sing. Singing has been shown to enhance the transmission
of the virus. If you receive communion on the tongue, you are asked
to consider receiving it in the hand for the time-being so that the
minister does not run the risk of spreading germs from one person to
the next. Hand sanitizer is available at the entrance of the church as
well as at communion stations. Let us all be patient with one another
as we work our way through this process.
POOR AND NEEDY
SVDP Food Pantry continues
to serve with curbside pick-up.
If you know someone in need,
please have them call
440.255.0600 to schedule an
appointment.

PASTOR’S PAGE
Dear Parishioners,
On Monday, May 25, Memorial Day, it is my
plan to celebrate Mass outdoors at 9:00 AM. The altar
will be set up in front of the gathering space of the
church, not by the Shrine where Mass is usually
celebrated on a holiday. I’ll have some plastic chairs
available but also feel free to bring some lawn chairs
from your own home. Set up an area in the parking lot
where you can park your car and sit, keeping social
distance. If the weather is poor, Mass will be
celebrated inside the church where it will also be
celebrated at 8:00 AM on Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. Those days are what the
Diocese has called the “soft opening” for public
Masses.
Our maintenance men have been preparing the
church for your return and we are eager to welcome
you back for weekend liturgies on May 30 & 31. We
are using blue painter’s tape to mark pews which are to
be left open to maintain social distance between one
family and another family or between one individual
and another. We are using that same tape on the floor
to mark the required distance between people in the
communion procession. The ushers will be available to
assist with seating and processions, including entering
and exiting the church.
The plan is to have one set of doors propped
open for entrance, and one set of doors propped open
for exiting. That way there is no need to touch the door
handles. There will be hand sanitizer available at the
entrance and a gloved usher will be there to assist you.
A gloved usher will also be there to hand you a bulletin
to take home on your way out. There will also be a
collection basket in which you
can drop off your envelope for
the support of the parish. The
Diocese has asked that all
people wear a face mask or
covering of some sort in the
church out of concern for your
neighbor in attendance with you
at Mass. If there is any place
where charity should be the
primary concern, it would be in a
church in the presence of Jesus
who came to serve rather than
to be served and who held up
humility as a fundamental virtue
of his followers. Sue Fani has worked with some
parishioners to make masks available to those who do
not have one. Ushers will make one available to you.
The Diocese has said that church occupancy
will be limited to 50% of normal capacity. Our official
capacity in the church is 1200, counting standing room
and extra space for chairs on the two sides. We are
roping off the section where the organ and piano are
and are limiting that area to musicians. I would say
that a reasonable number to allow into the church
proper for Mass would be about 400 people. If more
than 400 people come to the Mass, standing room is
available in the gathering space as well as outside the
church where the speakers will be left on to hear the
Mass. The priest or one of the communion ministers
can bring holy communion to you in the gathering
space or outside. You are welcome to bring lawn
chairs and sit outside if you prefer. At this point we are
planning to have three weekend Masses: 4:00 on
Saturday, and 7:30 and 10:30 on Sunday. This allows
us the needed time to sanitize the church between
Masses. If we need an additional Mass, I will add one.
The Bishops of Ohio have said that you are still
dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass and we
will continue to live-stream the 4:00 Mass on Saturday
if you prefer to participate in Mass at your home.
Those who are sick or symptomatic, those who are
infirmed or vulnerable should stay home and it is OK to
do so. There will not be congregational singing for the
time-being and we will not provide missals or hymnals.
You may bring your own but be sure to take it home
with you. Be patient, be kind, & God bless. FTJ
