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 Julius Lee, the sanctuary lamp will burn for the repose of his soul from June 14th to June 20th. The sanctuary lamp will burn for the repose of the Dinan and Montalbano Families from June 21st until June 27th.
THIRD SUNDAY
The potluck following the 10:45 Mass on third Sunday will be moved to this Sunday, June 14th in honor of the Sacred Heart and our nation’s 250th anniversary. There will not be a potluck on Sunday, June 21st, but we will have vocations prayers following the 10:45 Mass on the 21st.
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.
SECOND COLLECTION
Next Sunday there will be a second collection for the Mission Cooperative Appeal. This collection brings much needed help to specific dioceses and ministries in Mexico, Cameroon, India, Nicaragua, Nigeria, and Malaysia.
MORNING WITH MARY
All ladies are invited to a morning of devotion next Saturday, June 21st. Adoration will begin at 8:30 a.m., there will be confession during adoration, followed by benediction at about 9:10 a.m., and concluding with a Latin Mass at 9:15 a.m.
