Pastor’s Notes

Dear Parishioners,

We hope that you are staying safe and healthy. As we begin the first phase of reopening in Kansas and Johnson

County, we wish to convey the early stages of reopening at Curé of Ars. We understand the desire that many of

you have to celebrate mass together in our church. The implementation of the initial phase has not been taken

lightly. Feedback from the Archdiocese, other Pastors and the responsibility of keeping our parishioners safe is

driving our decision for a gradual reopening.

It is for the safety of all, that the Archbishop has continued the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on

Sunday stating,

“So Catholics do not feel compelled to attend Mass during the ongoing pandemic, the dispensation given

from the obligation for Catholics to attend Sunday Mass will remain in effect until it is safe to revoke it.”

He went on to say,

“Persons with higher vulnerability, for personal safety reasons, are strongly encouraged to take advantage

of this dispensation and refrain from attending public Mass.”

I am convinced that the option of using the dispensation from Mass is the best policy for all. The larger the

gatherings we hold, the more likely it will be that infection for some will follow. One need not have an illness or

feel sick to excuse himself from attendance at Mass during this time of the dispensation.

With this guidance in mind, we have decided that Curé of Ars will initially offer both Mass and Communion with

attendees remaining in their vehicles in the parking lot starting May 23 and 24 for weekend Masses. Further

information about times and guidelines for attending will be sent by email and posted on the church website

(cureofars.com). We will continue to offer streaming services online for daily Mass and weekend Mass for those

who prefer to watch from home.

Like most of you, we want to be able to hold Mass in the church with the congregation present with us, but I

believe that the recommendation of the Archdiocese offers the greatest opportunity for assuring safety for those

who long not only for Mass but for Communion as well. The opening of Masses within the church will continue to

be evaluated as the guidelines from the Archdiocese, the county and the state are updated. Each church in the

Archdiocese has unique challenges due to building and facility differences and we will continue to consider these

factors at Curé. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate through the phases of reopening.

Let us all pray for the development of a vaccine effective against Covid-19, as well as, for all who have been

affected by this disease. Although we are physically distanced, we remain spiritually united.

Stay safe and stay well,

Father Burger

A PRAYER FOR

PROTECTION IN TIME OF PANDEMIC

O Mary,

you always brighten our path As a sign of salvation and of hope.

We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,

who, at the Cross, took part in Jesus’ pain while

remaining steadfast in faith.

O loving Mother, you know what we need,

and we are confident you will provide for us

As at Cana in Galilee. Intercede for us with

your Son Jesus, the Divine Physician,

for those who have fallen ill, for those who are vulnerable, and for those who have died.

Intercede also for those charged with

protecting the health and safety of others

and for those who are tending to the sick and seeking a cure.

Help us, O Mother of Divine Love,

to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by Jesus,

who took upon himself our sufferings and carried our sorrows, so as to lead us, through the Cross,

to the glory of the Resurrection. Amen.

Under thy protection

we seek refuge, O Holy Mother of God.

In our needs, despise not our petitions,

but deliver us always from all dangers,

O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

Adapted from the prayer of

Pope Francis

your upcoming blood drive, CBC is

urging healthy donors to make an appointment to

donate at one of our seven donor centers instead. Please

know, appointments are required. In order to maintain

safe and controlled environments at our donor centers,

we will not be accepting walk-ins at this time. Sign up

to disinfect tablets and donor beds in between each use

and to space out chairs and beds whenever possible to

avoid unnecessary contact. Staff and donor

temperatures are taken upon arrival and all staff are

wearing face masks. Donors are strongly encouraged to

bring and wear their own face masks as well.

Your continued support is greatly appreciated. If you
