A note from your Pastor:
Jesus tells us the parable about a landowner who sent his servants to get the produce of his vineyard from the tenants. When the servants were maltreated, he decided to send his own son thinking that they would respect him, but the son himself was killed. Of course, the landowner is the image of God. The vineyard represents Israel. The servants sent by the landowner are the prophets. The tenants are the religious leaders of Israel. The son that was sent by the landowner is Jesus. Obviously, the parable shows the basic message of God's tremendous love for us, and our ingratitude and hardness of heart.
We are all just tenants which should make us realize that there is someone like the landowner who is greater than ourselves, God. And a good question for all of us to ask ourselves is whether we not only have been ungrateful to the landowner, but have also been abusive to our fellow tenants. Have we hurt, have we fooled, have we manipulated our fellow tenants? Have we made life miserable for them? Better to raise these questions now, rather than be convicted of these when we come face to face with our Creator.
In Jesus Christ,
Fr. Nonito
The Mass: A Slice at a time
Holy communion is to be given under the species of bread alone or, in accordance with the liturgical laws, under both species or, in case of necessity, even under the species of wine alone. (Canon 925)
The usual way of administering Communion continues to be under the species of bread, according to a multi-secular discipline based on the dogmatic affirmation of the full and perfect presence of Jesus Christ in each of the sacramental species, recommended because of the danger of spilling the Precious Blood, and of the natural repugnance that might be felt on sharing the same chalice.
The Canon’s reference to the liturgical norms means that communion under both species cannot be undertaken arbitrarily. Those norms refer to the prudent judgement of the bishop, who can authorize it.
The most convenient way should be chosen, in order that communion might be distributed with the dignity, piety, and decorum due the sanctity of the sacrament, and all danger of irreverence carefully avoided. In any case, the method whereby the chalice is passed from one communicant to another, or taken directly from the altar by each one, is not approved.
Religious Education Update
Due to the current COVID situation, St. Michael’s Faith Formation classes will not be starting this September. It is our believe that “Parents/guardians are their children’s primary and principal educators”, this guideline and philosophy of the Bishops’ of the United States is our motivation.
We will send packets to help teach children about God’s love and our Catholic faith. Every month we will send out a month’s worth of weekly lessons that go along with the Gospel reading of the week with other teaching materials about the traditions of our Catholic faith.
If you wish to have the packets sent to your home, please call the parish office or pick up a form in the entrance to church.
