Sr., from the Lubash Family.
Deepest sympathy to Marian Immel on the death of her
brother, Robert Zider and to Mary Orbon on the death of her sister, Joan Vince. May the angels lead them into paradise, may the martyrs come to welcome them and take them to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem.

Catholic Charities offers virtual counseling - Social dis-
tancing can take a toll. So can waiting in line to get into a grocery or hardware store. It’s not unusual to feel angry, or frustrated, or confused. For some people, the pandemic restrictions can magnify feelings of anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, grief and a wide variety of other is-sues. Catholic Charities provides virtual counseling to help address those issues and more. Taking care of your own emotional well-being is very important to you and the peo-ple you love. You don’t need to face these feelings alone. Call Catholic Charities at (724-837-1840) or email [email protected].

Worship Aid for The Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, June 28, 2020
Opening Hymn: all are welcome
Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live, a place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions and as symbol of God’s grace; here the love of Christ shall end divisions: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where prophets speak, and words are strong and true, where all God’s children dare to seek to dream God’s reign a new. Here the cross shall stand as witness and as symbol of God’s grace; here as one we claim the faith of Jesus: All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made consubstantial with the Father; through him all things
were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Prayers of the Faithful Response (Spoken): Lord, Hear our prayer
Offertory (Silent Prayer)/Mass Parts (Spoken)
Communion Hymn: 10,000 Reasons
(Refrain) Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul; worship his holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul; I’ll worship your holy name.
The sun comes up it’s a new day dawning, it’s time to sing your song again. Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me, let me be singing when the evening comes.
(Refrain) Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul; worship his holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul; I’ll worship your holy name.
My life flows on in endless song; above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I’m clinging. Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?

The Diocese of Greensburg has allowed parishes to
recommence Holy Mass on June 1. Bishop Malesic noted, however, that returning to Mass and other liturgies will
include notable differences from past experiences as parishioners will be required to wear masks and remain six
feet apart. Additionally, the Sign of Peace will no longer include a handshake and holy water and baptismal fonts will be drained. “We might find that other practices need to be
altered as well as we learn to live in this ‘new normal’ for the time being. Our clergy, my staff and I will do everything we can to help you understand these changes and remind you
that we must always proceed with caution, empathy, understanding and faith,” Bishop Malesic said. “For the
foreseeable future, all people will remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays. I ask that you make your own prudent and informed decision on whether to
attend Sunday Mass or not, after taking your own situation into account. You should especially use this dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass at this time if you are elderly or
have a medical condition that puts you at greater risk for serious complications from this disease,” Bishop Malesic said.
Additionally: Those who feel vulnerable because of their age or health are encouraged to stay home, while those who are sick should not attend public Masses. Streaming Masses will continue. People will be seated at least in every other pew using social distancing guidelines. All communicants will be encouraged to receive the Sacred Host in the hand.
The Chalice of the Precious Blood will not be offered to
the congregation. Musicians are being asked to limit
music and choirs will not be permitted. All hymnals
and missalettes are required to be removed and non
re-usable worship aids will be used in the interim.
Confirmations and First Communions can recommence
in July and should be divided into smaller groups if
necessary. Receptions into the Church for RCIA can
recommence immediately at the Pastor’s discretion.
Special consideration will be given to families who
would like to delay sacramental celebrations until a
later date. Pastoral care will continue for the critical
ill, all other homebound visits have not resumed.
Collections will not be taken during Mass but there will
be baskets within the Church or you may mail your
contributions to the Parish Office or place your
contribution in the black mailbox at the main entrance
of the Parish Center. Bishop Malesic encourages
people to stay connected to their faith by watching
a streaming Mass or by visiting TheAccentOnline.org
regularly to read the latest news, checking the diocese
website, or signing up for text alerts by texting the
word FAITH to the
number 724-305-3057.
