Dear Friends,

Just hours after most parishes submitted their bulletins for publication, pastors received a communication from the Office of the Bishop with new direction about restrictions and guidelines:

“Today we were informed that “effective immediately, [New York State’s] mandated restrictions are lifted across commercial and social settings.” These include “social gathering limits, capacity restrictions, social distancing, cleaning and disinfection, health screening, and contact information for tracing.” In the same announcement, the State indicated that “Unvaccinated individuals continue to be responsible for wearing masks, in accordance with federal CDC guidance. Consistent with the State’s implementation of the recent CDC guidance, masks are still required for unvaccinated individuals.” No mention was made in the NYS announcement of the need for continued social distancing between unvaccinated individuals or between vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, except at “indoor venues that hold more than 5,000 attendees.” Therefore, by virtue of this Memorandum, the policies, guidelines and permissions previously issued from my office between March 2020 and May 2021, for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the administration of the Sacraments during the Coronavirus pandemic are hereby rescinded with the exception of those noted below. The instructions of the Universal Church and the Diocese for the worthy and reverent celebration of Holy Mass and the Sacraments are to be followed and no extraordinary considerations that were previously permitted during the Coronavirus pandemic should continue. The following are to be maintained:

• Holy Communion is distributed only under one form, namely the Sacred Host. • The exchange of the sign of peace, which is always optional, either continues to be omitted or only encouraged without shaking hands or holding hands, “in a somber manner,” in accord with the Church’s instruction (The Sing of Peace will continue to be omitted for the time being).• Our churches, as houses of God, should continue to be kept clean, especially commonly touched surfaces. Cleaning in between Masses is no longer required (We will still do this).• Holy water fonts remain empty. • Baptisms continue to use only fresh water for each baptism and the fonts cleaned afterwards. • Churches should continue to assure good ventilation by introducing fresh air, whenever possible (we have almost zero ventilation in the Church!!)• It is recommended that some “social distancing” seating should still be offered, as needed (We will continue to do this as well).

One can infer from this communication that we can begin to resume some Liturgical Ministries in the parish. Since there has been a lapse of one year and three months since Lay Liturgical Ministers were last used, there is a need for retraining for experienced and training for new members. It will be a task of great responsibility to rebuild, sustain and maintain the most important ministry to the life of the parish as we move forward. With that, this is an opportune moment to make a very important announcement about the life of our parish. Michael Plagerman is not leaving us after all. He will remain with us as Director of Music and take on an additional role of Pastoral Ministry, which includes overseeing and developing liturgical ministers, funeral ministry and planning, among many other duties. He has been a tremendous help to me during this past month, where we averaged at least three planned funerals a week, to say nothing of those that come to us on a regular basis. Since our Mass schedule has reduced from four before the pandemic and three since reopening, the music responsibilities have diminished (about three quarters time). The pastoral responsibilities will be about one quarter time, but as the parish continues to grow and expand, this need will become greater. This full-time position was in constructed during Michael’s work in preparing for his successor, which is no longer needed. I am very grateful that he has decided to remain with us at All Saints. He has turned down other offers, some higher paying, because he believes in the direction our parish is heading. He has developed a good rapport with parishioners, which helped his decision to remain here so that he can continue to build a solid, quality sacred music program. He has helped a lot of grieving families find peace and understanding through the Rituals of the Church which takes a lot of skill and compassion. His full-time appointment will begin around Labor Day weekend, and we will continue a light fare offering of music throughout the summer, with a few weeks off to return home to visit as well as tie up loose ends in Ithaca, where he has completed the necessary requirements for the Doctor of Musical Arts. His appointment will begin at a good time, as the Committee on Doctrine (of which our own Bishop Matano is a member) recently produced a document ahead about music in Catholic worship. They are instructing us to be mindful that music chosen for the Mass the reflects the biblical reality of the Catholic faith, and to make sure music selections reflect a liturgical pattern are not more than just simply picking our favorite songs. More will be coming on this later, toward the end of the summer, when expect the majority of our parishioners who have decided to return are back.

In Christ,

Fr. Jones

Touching the Cloak of Christ

Look to today’s Gospel and you’ll find one of the most arresting images in all of Scripture. Christ in a crowd, everyone clamoring for his attention, pressing against him. Several feet away, is a chronically ill woman, weak and desperate for help. She knows she doesn’t have a chance of getting his attention. She has no connections. She has no strength. All she can do is lift up her hand.

So that’s what she does. She reaches out.

There comes a time, or maybe several times, in each of our lives when we become this woman. We’re tired and we’re sick. Is it with sin? With fear? With anger? It doesn’t matter. Whatever it is, it’s made us weak, and we feel like we’ve run out of options. We’ve looked for help and come up empty. We’ve consulted friends and gotten nowhere. We’re lost in the crowd of life, unable to stick our heads above the pressing throng to wave for help.

And there is Christ, always passing by us. The hem of his cloak is never far from our grasp. We have no hope of a big miracle like the synagogue leader. We don’t even bother asking for that. But that cloak ... we can touch that cloak. That’s something we can do.

Do we do it, though? Do we have the confidence of that sick, beaten-down woman who knew so totally that healing was there for the taking? Or do we retreat back into the crowd, stumbling back home with our pain and our sinfulness? Reach out, friends. However, whatever, whenever — reach out. Christ will not fail you.

— Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

WEEKLY INSPIRATION

“Do not be afraid, just have faith.” God does not rejoice in our demise or our destruction. Rather, He made us in his image and desires that we have life. He also desires that we be healed and know His loving touch. There is great power in an embrace offered in love. The touch of another can heal wounds and restore life. There is also power in faith. Faith can turn us toward the truth and turn us toward God. Both love and faith can lead us to hope that no matter what we encounter, God will continue to sustain us in being. He will not allow us to perish. God can profoundly change how we see Him, ourselves, and one another. God desires that we turn toward Him and be healed of all that wounds and binds us so that we can be free and enjoy the fullness of life. We are asked to arise and walk proudly with this life-giving faith. Reach out and share this faith with someone this week so that they too can receive God’s life changing embrace and heed His call to wholeness. There are many in our world wandering around aimlessly without hope. Bring it to them.

Cemetery Corner

You may recognize this statue of our Blessed Mother. She was previously standing on the outside of the St. Mary’s Convent. Since the Convent was torn down she has been residing in the garage behind the church. We are in the process of working with a restorer who is going to clean, paint, and make a new foundation for the statue. It will then be moved to the Sisters’ Circle in the Cemetery.

This is very exciting and I know she will look beautiful in the Holy Ground of the Cemetery! Of course the restoration is not free, so we are asking for help to pay for this very important project.

If you would like to make a donation, please contact, Mary Ann Tozer, at the number below, or send your donation made payable to “St. Mary’s Cemetery” to: All Saints Parish, 158 State St, Corning, NY 14830.

Thank you and we will keep you updated on the progress!

Watch this space for announcements and/or reminders about our Cemetery. For questions or concerns, please contact: Mary Ann Tozer, phone: 607-936-4689, ext. 209 or email: mary.ann.tozer@dor.org

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

The author of The Cloud of Unknowing prays, “That which I am and the way that I am, with all my gifts of nature and grace, you have given to me, O Lord, and you are all this. I offer it all to you, principally to praise you and to help my fellow Christians and myself.” Knowing that God sustains us in being is the key to faith. All that we need to do is to love God as God is and the rest will begin to fall into place. God made us in His image and desires that we have life. God also desires that we be healed of all of our wounds, especially those caused by sin, and know his loving touch. Being weighed down by negativity, imperfections, the cares of the world, and weakness is not something that God desires.

Faith can profoundly change how we see God, ourselves, and one another. It gives a clearer lens through which to see life and connects us with the powerful virtues of love and hope. Three friends journeying with us through all that we encounter, faith, hope, and love, help us experience God’s embrace and heal us. All we have to do is let God be who God is and not foolishly try to make Him into what we need or want Him to be. Without God we cease to be. It’s that simple. The very blood that flows through my veins and the life that I have come directly from Divine origins. With this knowledge of who God is and who I am, I can open my ears and hear the powerful words Jesus speaks, “Do not be afraid, just have faith.” Trust begins.

When we are struggling, we naturally reach out for God because we know that a divine remedy is the only remedy. But, in doing so we wrestle with letting God take charge. We want something more miraculous and visible than the obvious and have difficulty in finding consolation simply resting in God’s presence. Our naked being, stripped of any pretense or self-serving agenda, is being called to rest in and love the uncreated Presence of God. Reach out in love to God. Ask God to heal you from all that separates you from Him. Put aside any ideas of God that create barriers between you and God’s tender and endearing presence. The Cloud of Unknowing leaves us with wisdom, “think of yourself and of him in the same way, that is, with the simple awareness that he is as he is and that you are as you are.” This is a meeting of two friends who desire nothing more than to share life together.
