From Fr. Joe Before writing in regard to the scripture

readings for this 5th Sunday of Easter, I want to

address what is on the minds of many, if not all,

of our parishioners – when will we be able to

celebrate Mass together publicly again? As the

ever-changing situation of the Covid-19

pandemic continues, decisions and plans on

when and how to safely resume public Masses

and other liturgical celebrations are being

considered and made. During this time your

patience and understanding is necessary and

appreciated. As we get closer to celebrating

Mass and the other sacraments publicly again, it

is important to realize and expect – at least in the

near future – that things will not be returning to

the way they were before the pandemic began.

Yes, the Mass will still be Mass, as will all the other

sacraments respectively, but our experience of

how we participate in them will be different.

A key element in this process of resuming the

public celebration of our Catholic sacramental

life is communication. To that end we will be

sharing information with you using the formats

that are available to us – the parish website

(which for now is how you get the bulletin), parish

app, Flocknote, Facebook, and other social

media, as well as with a letter through the US

Postal Service. For more immediate access to

information, there have been two (and possibly

more by the time you read this) video

presentations with Fr. Scott and I discussing what

to expect when we resume the public

celebration of Mass again in All Saints Parish.

Those presentations are available on our parish

Facebook page and YouTube channel by going

to our parish website – alpenacatholics.org – and

clicking the appropriate Facebook or YouTube

icon at the top right-hand side of the page.

Whew … last year at this time, or even just a few

months ago, who would have thought we’d be

dealing with this kind of situation and in this way?

Now, for some thoughts regarding the

scriptures for this Sunday. We (myself included)

need to remember that God’s love letter to us –

as the Bible has at times been referred to – is

alive and continues to speak to us today even in

the midst of troubled times, and often especially

in those times.

The readings of this 5th Sunday of Easter describe,

either metaphorically or in very practical terms,

the kingdom of God, and point to our

responsibility to participate in bringing that

kingdom about. The first reading (Acts 6:1-7)

describes some of the growing pains of the early

church and how it had to adapt in order to be

devoted to both the liturgical life of the

community (“to prayer and to the ministry of the

word”) and to taking care of the community’s

physical needs (“As the number of disciples

Spiritual Communion How do you prepare for Communion?

As Catholics, we want to have a good relationship with Christ and grow

our faith. Receiving the Eucharist is a way of becoming closer to Christ.

Before we can receive Eucharist we must be free of any grave or mortal

sin. If we are not then we “eateth and drinketh damnation” (St. Paul) to

ourselves. If you have committed a mortal sin then you must participate

in the Sacrament of Confession.

What happens if we do not receive Communion?

If we cannot:

• Receive Holy Communion physically

• Make it to Mass

• Need to go to Confession first

Then we can pray an Act of Spiritual Communion. Where we express our

faith in Christ, His Presence in the Eucharist and ask him to unite himself

with us. A Spiritual Communion is not sacramental. We utilize this to

strengthen us until we can receive the Eucharist. Remember it is not a

replacement for receiving the Eucharist.

An Act of Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the

Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment

receive you sacramentally,

Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there

And unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen. Excerpt from: Lecture Plan for Eucharist, Published December 1, 2014

From Fr. Joe (Continued from page 2)

continued to grow, the Hellenists complained

against the Hebrews because their widows were

being neglected in the daily distribution.“). In

the second reading (1 Peter 2:4-9) we hear: “You

are ‘a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy

nation, a people of his own’”, and that we are to

“like living stones, let yourselves be built into a

spiritual house to be a holy priesthood to offer

spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through

Jesus Christ.” In the gospel (John 14:1-12), after

describing himself as “the way and the truth and

the life”, and that he is doing the work of the

Father, Jesus says: “Amen, amen, I say to you,

whoever believes in me will do the works that I

do, and will do greater ones than these.”

Imagine that, because he was going to the

Father, Jesus entrusted to us the continuation of

his mission. And he said we will do the works that

he did, and even greater ones! Who? You and

me?!

We may find ourselves saying, or being

tempted to say, I don’t know how to do that.

But you do, because Jesus gave the example of

his own life (“I am the way”). And when we

participate in this “way”, and do the works he

did (even “greater ones”), then we show others

“the way and the truth and the life.”

But, come on, realistically how do we, in our

little corner of the world – here in Alpena – do

greater works than what Jesus did? First of all,

don’t underestimate the importance of what

happens right here in our local community, in the

lives of our families. Yes, Jesus came for all

people, and it’s easy to get lost in the vastness of

the “all”; but we are part of the “all”, and while

“not more important” than anyone else, what

happens here in our lives “is as important” as

anyone else.

Secondly, the image of “living stones” implies

being part of something bigger than ourselves.

As members of the Catholic Church, yes, that

means we belong to our local parish, but also to

the diocesan Church, and the worldwide

Church! We can draw strength and support

from our brothers and sisters in faith, but, as in

any relationship, the other should also be able to

draw strength and support from us. I hope we all

keep that in mind when the 2020/2021 Catholic

Services Appeal (CSA) begins, though later than

usual this year because of the effects of the

Covid-19 pandemic. (There will be more

information forthcoming as the yet to be

determined CSA kick-off draws nearer.)

Finally, I want to explain why during at least

the first half of this coming week (May 11th-13th)

the Adoration with Exposition from 10am-2pm will

Stewardship in Our Readings "The one who has faith in me will do the works I do, and far greater than

these," Jesus tells his disciples. That's quite an assignment for us as Christian

stewards!

All Saints Catholic Women News

We are going now on our 3rd month of not

meeting as women of All Saints Parish, not to

mention by now all the activities that we

missed due to this Coronavirus. I am hoping this

letter finds you well and all rested up.

Usually by now we are starting to put an end to

one year’s work and start looking for volunteer

board members for the upcoming year. Not

sure we will be able to finish out this year with

only 2 more meetings to go and this is when we

look to fill next year’s board positions. So I am

asking to see if any women of our parish might

be interested in taking a board position which

begins in the fall. Each of us have been given

talents by our Lord and Savior and hoping

maybe some of you may step forward to help

in this way. This would involve monthly meetings

from Sept - June plus various activities within our

Church that bring women together in

spreading God’s message of love for one

another.

With your helping hands, you too can join us as

All Saints Catholic Women. If you are interested

please contact Cindy Witkowski at 231-342-

6225. It is a great group to work with!

So till we meet again, God Bless

Cindy Witkowski

Donations in Times of Need Our continued thanks for the donations that

continue to come in to help fill the gaps. Those

donations that are marked “for the needs of the

economic hardships, for the sharing of blessings

(e.g. stimulus money), for the extra you may be

giving right now knowing it can help.

Our parishioners continue to amaze us daily with

their generosity!

Time to Help, Period

Women’s Rosary Walk

Saturday, May 2, 2020

This past weekend, eight women joined

Fr. Joe and Fr. Scott for a Women’s Rosary Walk through

our city. A companion Rosary to the Men’s Rosary Walk

that was held the previous Saturday. This was a

wonderful way for Catholic women to witness to our faith;

traveling our community to weave a crown of flowers,

representing Our Lady’s crown in heaven, around our

community’s care homes, jail and hospital.

Based off of the idea of a Rosary ring, each of the eight

women held onto the rope and carried a flower to

represent each of the “beads” on a Rosary ring (Fr. Joe

and Fr. Scott carried a Crucifix and statue of our Blessed

Mother, respectively). The participants began at St. Mary

Church and traveled to Besser Community Living, the jail,

Turning Brook, MediLodge of Alpena, Medilodge of

Greenview, Sally’s Place Care Home, Mid Michigan

Medical Center and returned to St. Mary Church; praying

a total of 11 Rosaries over miles of our community. In

addition to social distancing (standing apart at 7 foot

increments) they also made sure to observe other safe

practices (i.e. wiping down the rope and having face

masks and gloves ready).

Dawn Ringsmuth remarked on what a touching

experience it was to witness someone inside one of the

care homes holding back tears as they were trying to

pray with the group.

Ruth Nelson, Mary Damery, Angie King, Kristin Carriveau,

Monica Weaver, Megan LaCross, Dawn Ringsmuth and

Denelle Shultz—thank you for your courage and

participation to make this walk possible.

From Fr. Joe—Continued (Continued from page 3)

be taking place in Room B (the center section)

of our parish hall, and not in St. Anne Church.

Work is being done on the lighting of the

interior vaulted ceiling of St. Anne, which will

not only enhance the environment of the

liturgical center of our All Saints Parish – i.e.

where we gather to celebrate Mass – but with

increased energy efficiency, will decrease our

utility expenses. The work will require extensive

use of scaffolding and the temporary moving

of pews, both of which would be disruptive to

those coming to pray in the presence of the

Blessed Sacrament. Q. Why is this work being

done now, and why is our parish incurring this

expenditure during the economic slowdown

due to the current pandemic which is affecting

everyone’s finances, including our parish’s?

A. The work had originally been scheduled for

early April, but as with many businesses during

this pandemic, the contractor postponed the

work to comply with the mandatory shut-down

and for the safety of their employees. Now

that restrictions are beginning to be gradually

lifted, the contractor has coordinated with us

to do the work this coming week. As to the

expenditure, the cost of this lighting project is

being covered by a generous donation from

the family of Betty Ludlow in her memory. So,

this improvement to All Saints Parish – which will

enhance the environment of our liturgical

celebrations for years to come – will be

completed without using any funds from our

parish’s limited operating budget.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers,

grandmothers, godmothers, and all those

women who have lived the role of a mother.

And may all of you have a Blessed, Safe, and

Healthy 5th Week of Easter.

Blessed Sacrament Travels Alpena Every Sunday, the Blessed Sacrament, in the St. Vincent dePaul van,

continues to make stops in the parking lots of our Parish’s churches with 10

minutes at each stop. To receive a blessing, you are welcome to drive by

the respective lots or park in them. However, we ask that you remain in

your vehicle. We are NOT encouraging vehicles to follow the van to each

stop.

The following outlines the schedule:

St. Bernard Pkg Lot 11:20 am -11:30 am

St. John Pkg Lot 11:40 am - 11:50 am

St. Anne Pkg Lot 12:00 pm - 12:10 pm

St. Bernard Pkg Lot 5:20 pm -5:30 pm

St. John Pkg Lot 5:40 pm - 5:50 pm

location.

Additionally, like last weekend, the Blessed

Sacrament will be traveling the streets of Alpena

as we move from one parking lot to another to

bring the blessing of our Lord to our community.

Our continued gratitude to St. Vincent dePaul

Offer Extended through May!

Dear All Saints Parishioners,

God's peace be with you during this difficult time of fear and anxiety

amidst the Coronavirus pandemic and the economic repercussions it has

caused, as well as the inconvenience of the “stay at home” order. I don’t

know about you but one of the great sadnesses for Fr. Scott and I, and all

of the parish staff, is being separated from you during this societal

lockdown. We are trying to care for your spiritual needs with opportunities

such as: traveling to each of our four churches on Sundays with the

Blessed Sacrament, the live Facebook broadcasting of Adoration/

Benediction every weekday at 4pm, along with recording the various

narratives of the Passion of Our Lord for you to listen to from our parish

website, amongst other things. What is described below is one more way

for you to stay connected with and enrich your Catholic faith during this

time of no public Masses and isolation.

Thankfully, a small blessing has found its way to our parish. TAN Books, a

Catholic publisher based in North Carolina with whom we have done

business in the past, is graciously offering all of us an opportunity to obtain

their books now at a discounted rate of 30% off.

[We recently learned, this offer has been extended through the month of

May!]

TAN has a host of books covering various spiritual topics, which can help

keep your Faith strong and engaged during this difficult time. There are

also books geared for children.

In addition to the 30% discount to you, TAN Books will send 30% of all sales

originating from our parish through the month of May back to All Saints

Parish as a donation in the form of a check.

Simply go to their website, www.tanbooks.com, and use the

way to make a donation to our parish and receive something of great

spiritual value in return.

ignite a community bound by love. We are united in

vibrant service under the leadership of the Trinity.

sacramental people to grow in our faith and

the Eucharist. We value each other’s gifts and talents

as we serve the needs of our community while living
