Fr. Joe . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Dear Saint Alphonsus family, Peace be with you. I hope this finds you well and in good spirits during this time of troubles. As we continue the rough journey through this pandemic, I would like to share with you some of my concerns and the direction for our parish. When our church was first closed, I myself and many of you thought that this was just for a short time, maybe a few weeks. I did think that we would come back and celebrate Easter like we usually did. But soon after we realized that the pandemic would last much longer than we thought, maybe a few months. When our state moved to phase 4th of the reopening, and our church was allowed to reopen, we all were excited and thought that things would get better and better and we could go back to normal soon. Again, we were wrong. Our country seems to go backward, many states have to go back to the lockdown, and we painfully hear recently that the number of those infected in our state has been going upward again. This means we have not been there yet; our destination is still far away and nobody can tell us when this pandemic will end. This is a tough test for each one of us, for our families, and our community. We are not allowed to give up; we must keep going with strong faith in God. We need to come together and do whatever we can to keep us together, to keep us going to the end. I have often shared with you my family stories after the Vietnam War when we faced much tougher challenges of poverty, starvation, oppression, and persecution under the cruel communist regime. My father was a good leader who led us through that tough journey. How could we do that? We depended on God, we trusted in God, and everybody worked together. With that experience, now as the leader of this community, I want to journey with you through this pandemic. I strongly believe that we can do it if we trust in God and stay together. In the last few months, we have tried to hang in there with the hope that we could get back to normal soon. The PPP money and the generosity of many faithful parishioners allowed us to do that, to keep everything the same. But now after we realize that this journey is long and unpredictable, after we used all the PPP money, we have to make some changes in order to conserve our limited resources so we can keep going. We have to do this otherwise we might not make it. Therefore, I need to inform you of some necessary changes that we will make. After I consulted with the Parish Council, some staff, the Finance Committee members, and parishioners, I would like to inform you of two changes that we need to make for now. We have decided to cut Saturday morning 8:15am Mass and the 5 pm Sunday Mass. I am fully aware that some parishioners will not be happy with this decision, but we need to do it during this time. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you and your family. Let us entrust the future of our parish to the Lord and our Heavenly Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. May God bless you all. Fr. Joseph Le

Parking Lot Mass Participation

to Receive Eucharist

We invite you to participate in Sunday, 8:30am Mass by parking your vehicle in the back lot.

We changed to 8:30am that you can enjoy Mass

during the cooler part of the day! Please park your vehicle along the south side of church across from the portico.

While in your vehicle, you can access an audio feed of the Mass by tuning your

car radio to frequency FM88.1. (This Mass is not live–streamed.)

At the time for distribution of the Eucharist, an assistant will come out ahead of the Eucharistic Minister with hand sanitizer. Even though you are in your car, please put on a mask at this time. You will need to roll down your car windows and hold out both

your hands with your palms up. The assistant will spray your hands with hand sanitizer. Then the Eucharistic Minister will give you communion. The Eucharistic

Minister will be wearing a face covering/mask and a face shield.

The assistant will also be carrying a basket for offerings should you wish to make your Sunday donation in this way.

Please be patient because it will take some time to get to each person. Thank you for the prayers you have offered for our parish already! We know God hears them because we

could not have come this far without them!

Feast Day of St. Alphonsus Liguori

Alphonsus Mary Antony John Cosmas Damian Michael Gaspard de' Liguori, born in 1696, earned a doctorate in

canon and civil law by the age of 16. He gave up practicing law to become a priest and was ordained

when he was 30 years old. Fr. Alphonsus founded the Redemptorist congregation in 1732 which served

peasants in rural areas in Naples, Italy. Fr. Alphonsus’ greatest impact as a priest was to preach simply and

about kindness and compassion in a time when sermons generally consisted of complex theology. At the age of

66, Fr. Alphonsus was made a bishop.

Toward the end of his life, Alphonsus suffered

immensely with arthritis which caused his neck to be so bent that he developed a perpetual wound from his chin

pressing on his chest. He also endured a dark time spiritually when his faith was attacked by fearful and

tempting thoughts, but he persevered through his suffering by focusing on the suffering of Christ.

Alphonsus died on August 1, 1787.

Alphonsus wrote notably on moral, spiritual and dogmatic theologies. His writings on Mary and the Blessed Sacrament have had vast influence on Catholic devotion to both.

St. Alphonsus is the patron of theologians, confessors, vocations,

and those who suffer from arthritis.

The Feast of St. Alphonsus Liguori will be recognized the weekend of August 1 & 2.

A prayer space will be available near the baptismal font from

for private prayer and veneration of the relics of St. Alphonsus.

Hello Parishioners,

Progress on my AHG Stars and Stripes Project, Building Outdoor Stations of the Cross:

Stepping stones for each station were made this past weekend by American

pre-drilling holes for assembling the station boxes! The station boxes will be fully assembled by AHG and other volunteers in a few weeks. Thank you to the

St. Alphonsus Landscape & Garden Ministry, and the Knights of Columbus for volunteering to dig post holes and put in the posts for the stations!

Thank you Parishioners for all of your prayer and support! Sincerely, Marianna Maslanka
