Father Booth’s Weekly Reflection
Fr. Booth’s weekly reflection can be read online here. You can also download the entire bulletin for this week in PDF format here.
COVID-19 RESPONSE – MASS & DEVOTIONS
We have an additional Sunday Latin Mass at 7:30, which is intended to aid in the social distancing, and continues on a provisional basis.
NOTE ON CONFESSIONS
If there is a significant line for confession, Fr Booth might say part of the formula of absolution while the penitent recites the act of contrition. The full formula of absolution is always said, but the first part might be said softly during the act of contrition. Thus, you might only hear “and I absolve you from your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
WELCOME TO ALL OF OUR VISITORS
We are glad you have attended Mass with us. If you wish to join Blessed Sacrament, please pick up a parish census form at the Religious Goods Counter located in the vestibule of the front entrance.
NOTICE ON CHECKS
Please make out all checks to Blessed Sacrament or Blessed Sacrament Church.
IN MEMORIAM
For Ida Olson, the sanctuary lamp will burn for the repose of her soul from May 31st to June 6th. The sanctuary lamp will burn for the repose of Julia V. Bryant from June 7th until June 13th.
CORPUS CHRISTI
For the Latin Mass, the Feast of Corpus Christi occurs on Thursday, June 4th. For English, it occurs on Sunday, June 7th. Since the English Mass has been transferred to the following Sunday, Corpus Christi is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Nevertheless, we will have a Latin High Mass on Thursday, June 4th at 6:30 p.m.
FIRST FRIDAY
We will have our First Friday English Mass on June 5th at 8:30 a.m. in the Rectory followed with Adoration and Benediction and a Latin Low Mass at 6:30 p.m.
FIRST SATURDAY
First Saturday Mass will be offered in Latin at 8:30 a.m. on June 6th. Altar server training will follow Mass.
FIRST SUNDAY
Next Sunday is the first Sunday of June. Instead of coffee and donuts there will be potluck brunch following the 9:00 Mass.
SACRED HEART
The American bishops will consecrate the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in honor of our nation’s 250th anniversary. Bishop Raica has chosen to transfer the liturgical celebration of the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart from Friday, June 12th to Sunday June 14th. This applies only for this year and is intended to broaden the participation in this feast and the nation’s consecration. All Masses on June 13th and 14th, both Latin and English, will be for the Sacred Heart while liturgy on Friday, June 12th, will be for Friday of the 10th week of Ordinary Time.
CONTINUATION OF FOOD DRIVE
The food drive begun in Lent benefitting the Franciscan Poor of Jesus Christ, who have a ministry to the homeless, and a local food bank will continue on an ongoing basis. If you have further questions, please contact Shannon Dunaway (ssullivan7606@gmail.com) or Steve and Brandy Katona (Katonafamily@yahoo.com).
