Subject: Reopening Update for St
Emeric Church
Hello St Emeric family, As our parish continues to move forward
with reopening efforts in accordance with the plan announced by
Cardinal Cupich and the bishops of Illinois, as well as the
governor’s Restore Illinois plan, I want to provide you with an
update on our progress and priorities. We have been approved to
resume public Masses, which began 6/14/20. Given the current
restrictions on attendance (up to 15% capacity of our church, that
is about 50 people), we are using SignUpGenius, an online tool that
allows you to reserve space for you and those in your household for
Mass. You can also call the parish to reserve. There are two
reasons for that: one is the number limit; the other is “contact
tracing” because your contact information must be kept for 14 days
in the event that someone who attended a mass is diagnosed with the
virus, at which point all who attended that mass would need to be
contacted, tested and possibly quarantined. Now, there are a few
more important points to consider, and I can only ask for your
understanding and patience with all of this; it falls under the
category of “don’t shoot the messenger” since I didn’t make up any
of these rules! You may only enter the church by the main entrance
and you must wear a mask during mass. Greeters will be present to
ensure that you use hand sanitizer as you enter the church, and you
will be escorted to a seat that allows for social distancing:
YOU MAY NOT SIT WHEREVER YOU WISH AT THIS POINT.
The designated seats will be toward the front of the church. If
you are with another member of your household, you may sit
together. There will be no singing (the hymnals are removed from
the pews, but we can have a cantor and accompanist), a single file
line for communion with hand sanitizer provided before you receive
communion (only in the hand), masks & social distancing (of
course), and dismissal pew by pew by the ushers. • Check your
temperature: if you have one, please
do not come to church. • Stay home if you are ill. • Do not
change seats during a service. Because of the requirement for the
church to be not just cleaned but completely sanitized after each
mass, our regular mass schedule will be delayed.
For now, we will be having mass only on Sunday at 10:30AM until
further notice. We also begin daily mass at the regular time 8:45
AM but the Saturday morning mass will not resume until further
notice to limit the burden that is being placed on those who are so
generously offering their help with all that it takes to have mass
in the church. o help ensure that everything runs as smoothly and
peacefully as possible, please review the parishioners guide we
published in the Bulletin last week and contact us with any
questions ahead of time. For those who are not able to return to
Mass or are not yet comfortable joining us in person, be assured of
our prayers for you.
Your Help is Needed The Reopening Co-leadership Team and our
Volunteer Captains need additional people to step forward and serve
in various capacities so that our community may continue to
celebrate and worship together. Once again, I am immensely grateful
to the members of the “reopening team” who have been so generous,
conscientious, and proactive in making the reopening of our church
possible for us. We need more help, if you feel you can help with
set-up or greeting, or cleaning please contact Jama at the office.
(708) 799 0757 Additionally, our Parish family needs your financial
support. As a community of believers, we can only sustain our
ministries and outreach with your generosity and regular
contributions. God will work something new from the challenges we
are currently facing. It is clear to me the need for community –
and within that word, unity – is being expressed in powerful ways.
It is my fervent hope that we, as disciples of Jesus Christ, will
embrace this moment to begin witness to our faith in new ways, to
share with one another our stories of faith and invite others into
an encounter with the Risen Lord. May God grant you His peace
during this difficult time and may He manifest His love and
presence to you in abundant ways. If you have any questions, please
the office. Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Edmond

Answer to Quiz on the Body and Blood of Christ!!
1) On the evening before He was crucified, Jesus ate a
meal, the "Last Supper," with His 12 disciples. Which Jewish
holiday were they celebrating?
Hanukkah Passover Rosh Hashanah Yom Kippur
Answer Passover/ Mark 14:12-16. Passover was, and still is, an
important holiday for Jews. The Passover preparations and meal are
steeped in symbolism. The roasted lamb, unleavened bread, bitter
herbs and cups of wine all serve as reminders of the Hebrews'
escape from slavery in Egypt. 2) When Jesus broke bread and passed
it to His disciples, He said, "Take; this is _______."
food for the soul my body the bread of life the new covenant
Answer my body / Mark 14:22. While they were eating, Jesus took
bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his
disciples, saying, "Take it; this is my body." 3) When Jesus gave
his disciples the traditional cup of wine, He said, "This is my
blood of the covenant, which is _______."
manna from heaven poured out for many shed on the cross the
water of life
Answer poured out for many / Mark 14:23-24. 23Then he took a
cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all
drank from it. 24"This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured
out for many," he said to them. 4) Which Christian sacrament is
based on Jesus' words at His Last Supper?
Holy Communion Eucharist The Lord's Supper All of the above
Answer All of the above...Different churches call this sacrament
by different names: Communion because it brings us in fellowship
with God and other believers; Eucharist (thanksgiving) because we
are thankful for Christ and His saving work; The Lord's Supper
because it commemorates Jesus' last meal with His disciples .

Father’s Day Prayer Lord, thank you for all fathers. For the new
ones, who endure sleepless nights with infants in arms. For the
busy ones, who juggle the pressures of home and family life. For
the steadfast ones, who nurture and
care for our special vulnerable children. For the patient ones,
who always seek to forgive and engage
with their pre-teens. For the persistent ones, who cleverly find
new ways to connect with their mini-
adults. For the father uncles, who step in to cradle and care
for nieces and nephews. For all granddads, who
love and support their precious grandchildren. For the foster
dads that are called to gather and cover the
fragile ones. For the Sunday dads who care for our children and
lead them in faith. For the dads who give
far beyond their own resources, who overcome disability to
cherish and love. Thank you Lord for all
our beautiful fathers. Help us to support them and keep them in
our prayers. May you bless them now on
this their special day. Amen.
