Parish Response to Coronavirus, Influenza, etc.
As you know, in an attempt to avoid exposure to the
various viruses of current concern, we have
temporarily suspended the distribution of the Precious
Blood from the shared Cup. Based on medical advice,
we are further requesting that folks also suspend
holding hands during the “Our Father” and refrain
from shaking hands – or other physical contact – at
the Sign of Peace. We have also emptied the Holy
Water Fonts as another precaution. Traditionally, we
were told to use ‘common sense’ which advised that if
you’re not feeling well, avoid contact with others.
More recently, we have learned that a person can be
contagious 2 or 3 days before they develop
symptoms. With a great number of children and
seniors in our Parish – we are exercising and
recommending an abundance of caution. Thank you
for your understanding and cooperation!
In facing the Corona Virus Pandemic, our Bishop
Lucia has invited us to join in praying this Novena
Prayer for 9 days:
O Mary, full of grace, Patroness of this nation and
Mother of the Church, in this time of world-wide need
we seek your intercession for the human family before
your Son’s throne of grace and mercy. We ask for
strength in adversity, health in illness and comfort in
sorrow. Help us, O Blessed Mother, to be filled with
confidence and trust in the tender compassion of our
God. Let us not be afraid, imitating our own Saint
Marianne Cope, who entrusted her life and ministry
among the outcasts of society into the care of our
Divine Physician. Continue to watch over all who are
sick as well as those who care for them and give
wisdom to all who are seeking a cure and managing
public health policy. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

GREETERS’ MINISTRY
Page 3
If you have ever felt welcomed as you come into
church then you know the importance of our Greeters’
Ministry. We always say – “first impressions count” –
well, grace builds on that saying as well. Hesitant people,
those who may have been away for a long time, find God’s
loving grace and welcome in the personal smile of a
Greeter as a bulletin is handed out. It’s only a simple
gesture and takes 15 minutes of a minister’s time, but only
God knows the impact on the heart of that person receiving
the greeting. If you have 15 minutes for God – won’t you
please consider this ministry?
If you would like to participate in this ministry, just
email Kathleen Owens at [email protected] and
tell me which Mass you usually attend. If you are a
minister in another Liturgical Ministry, I will try to
coordinate your schedules to coincide. Families are
wonderful at this ministry and what a great way to begin
involving children in the feeling that they are part of our
All Saints Parish Ministry!
The PASTORAL COUNCIL MEETING
scheduled for Wednesday, the 18th
is cancelled, as
Sub-committees continue work on which they will
report at our next meeting.
Confirmation Class: Next Sunday, March 22, All
Saints will host the Confirmation students from
Cathedral Parish for a panel presentation on
immigration. We will meet in the Wisdom Room
instead of the Ignatius Room. The class will meet at
the usual time: 10:15– 11:20am.
We are forming our Triduum/Easter Choir. Singers
and musicians are invited and encouraged to join in
the powerful music ministry that enlivens and
enriches our Holy Week journey. A sign-up sheet is
in the back of church. Rehearsals are scheduled for
Wednesdays at 7pm on March 18, 25; April 1 & 8,
with a final rehearsal at 10am on Sat. April 11.
Caring for Our Common Home:
“Our insistence that each human being
is an image of God should not make us
overlook the fact that each creature has
its own purpose. None is superfluous.
The entire material universe speaks of God’s love, his
boundless affection for us. Soil, water, mountains:
everything is, as it were, a caress of God.” Pope
Francis , Laudato Si, Paragraph 84.
LENT–PENTECOST Parish-wide book study
& faith sharing: Our group sharing continues during this
week.
For the 3rd week of Lent, beginning Sunday, March
15, we are discussing Ch. 3 of Wallis’ book, Christ in
Crisis, pp. 44-86. If you don’t have time to read all of
it, these pages are especially recommended: pp. 45-
50, 60-72, 81-86.
For the 4th
week of Lent, beginning Sunday, March
22, we will study Ch. 4 of Christ in Crisis. If you
don’t have time to read all of it, these pages are
especially recommended: pp. pp. 45-50, pp. 60-72,
pp. 81-86.
There is an online forum for anyone who would
like to plug in at any time, with comments,
questions, etc. If you wish to join, please send an
email to Casey Koons with your contact
information: [email protected] Casey will
send you the link to join the conversation. Any other questions? call or text Mary Jureller at
315 382-8039; email: [email protected]
White Ribbon Walk
Stand with Vera House to prevent and end domestic
& sexual violence! In light of the COVID-19
pandemic and recommendations from CDC, we have
decided to cancel our White Ribbon Campaign Walk
scheduled for Friday, March 20th. The safety of our
walk participants is of the utmost importance & we
believe this is the best course of action to take.
So this year, we're making the Walk virtual! Get
involved by making a page to help us raise precious
funds that allow Vera House to continue to go above
and beyond for our clients and community. Instead of
potentially spreading illness, let’s continue to spread
awareness & ‘'walk' across the inter-web spreading
the message that there is #NoExcuseForAbuse!
All proceeds from the White Ribbon Campaign Walk
are directed to Vera House programs & services. For
more information about Vera House & the White
Ribbon Campaign & to get involved www.verahouse.org/event-calendar/ev-detail/25th-
