ASCENSION OF OUR LORD

Masses will be celebrated In Church on

Sunday, May 24, 2020 7:30am; 9:00am; 11:00am

Mass will also be live-streamed at 11:00am on Sunday with

Communion distributed in the Church after Mass

Christ's Ascension marks the definitive entrance of Jesus' humanity into God's heavenly domain, whence he will

come again (cf. Acts 1:11); this humanity in the meantime hides him from the eyes of men (cf. Col 3:3).

Hopefully everyone has heard by now, through our website or Facebook messages from Fr. Mike, that we are in a preparation period for a three phase plan to resume liturgies in our Church. Last week on Sunday, May 10th we live streamed our first Mass from the Church at 9:00am. The community was invited to come to the Church after watching and participating in the Mass to receive Holy Communion. There are ministers in the Church to guide you through the social distancing process. The general dispensation from the Sunday Mass obligation continues, so the elderly or compromised or anyone who does not feel well should remain home.

Confirmation and First Communions will not resume until phase three which may be a few months out, so we cannot set the date for that until we reach phase three.

We will be looking at a time in the Fall for the class of 2020 and of course set a date in the Spring for 2021. We need to approach everything safely and patiently.

Information is coming out daily, so we encourage you to check the website stbernardscottsdale.org for all updated information and to attend Mass each day at 9:00am in Church or live-stream it. You may come to receive the Eucharist after live-streaming Mass in the Church.

You may email me at kstine@stboc.org or call me at the Parish Office Monday through Thursday. I can pick up emails when I am out of the Office, so you will get a response a lot quicker than leaving a voice mail. The Parish is using Flocknote to send out general messages, so if you are not receiving them please call the Parish Office and make sure they have your current phone number or email.

We will be in touch! Stay healthy and please remember to pray daily with your children!

God’s blessings, Kathie

Howdy, This is the time of year when I receive requests for reduced tuition for our students attending Catholic schools. It reminds me that many times I am asked to sign statements that someone is an active, registered, participating member of our parish. This is why it is so important for you to be registered and to use your envelopes or Faith Direct so that I can honestly sign those various documents.

I have some on my desk that are registered but show no activity or envelope use.

Safe Environment News All Volunteers in any Parish Ministry please note: Thank you to all who have completed or are in the process of completing their training. I appreciate your patience as we try to get through this during the Coronavirus shut down. I am more available right now to answer questions by phone or email since we are not having Faith Formation or Liturgy. You may call me at the Parish Office Monday through Thursday or email me at kstine@stboc.org if you have questions. There are a few people who have started the process, whether it be renewal or foundation, but have not gotten clearance, because something is incomplete. I would ask you to go back into your account and make sure you have: Number one: clicked on the right course; Foundation is for those who are new or who have not renewed in the past three years. “Renewal” is for everyone else. Number two: make sure all the steps have been moved from pending to complete, including the background check. If you need a Live Foundation Class you can do so remotely online right now. If you have not set up an account go to https://phoenix.cmgconnect.org and then go to the “Register for a New Account” section and complete all steps. Then go to “Dashboard” and click on the Foundation Training that says, “Initial Online Foundation Application; ‘A Time to Protect & A Plan to Protect’.” Click on “Start” and follow the directions. You must download the “Procedures to Report in Arizona” (takeaway packet) and read through it (this is necessary to complete the course). Complete and submit background check, making sure all information is accurate. Allow 7-10 days after submitting for approval. This remote Foundation class will only be available until we are cleared to have “live” classes again. Once again please make sure all sections are marked “DONE”. One note, everyone will be in need of renewal on July 1, 2020. It doesn’t matter when you took the course the SET year runs from July 1st to July 1st. Please stay healthy and be safe!
