An Act of Spiritual Communion “My Jesus, I believe that You

are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above

all things, and I desire to

receive You in my soul. Since I

cannot at this moment receive

You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were

already there and unite myself

wholly to You. Never permit

me to be separated from You.

Amen.”

Pope’s Prayer

Intention for September 2020 Universal:

Respect for the Planet’s Resources

We pray that the planet’s

resources will not be

plundered, but shared in a just

and respectful manner.

Baptism Preparation Families seeking

Baptism for their child are

connected with a

mentor family

for the preparation. The mentor

couple meets with families in their homes to discuss the

sacrament of Baptism and offer

encouragement and suggestions

for raising children in the

practice of the faith. The idea of

a mentor program for Baptism preparation is to give new or

young families an opportunity

for community and support,

even before children reach

school age. Please pray for

these mentor families and all they will serve at our parish; we

are truly blessed to have them!

Contact Carmen Morgan

([email protected] or 251-

0220) for more information.

Let us pray to the Lord:

For the sick and homebound, especially . . .

Take comfort in knowing your special needs or the needs of someone else will be remembered by our praying community. If you or someone close to you is in

need of our prayers, you can also request

the Body of Christ Prayer Network to

pray for your intentions. Your request

will be kept confidential. Please contact Sh i r l ey Zuz i ck ( 251 -3888 ) o r

[email protected].

We express our sympathy to the family of

Donna Hanke May she find peace and happiness

with our Lord Jesus in heaven.

page 4 SEPTEMBER 6, 2020

Dear Parishioners, Archbishop Listecki has announced that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass will end on Monday, September 14. This means that those who are capable should be attending Sunday Mass starting September 19 and 20. However, as Archbishop Listecki made explicit, those who are ill, caring for someone that is ill, or who have other serious health concerns because of age, underlying medical conditions, or a compromised immune system are still excused from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, as the Church has always taught.

Attendance is still limited to 25% capacity, in accordance with the Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s Catholic Comeback. However, in order to accommodate the end of the dispensation, we will be opening all balconies and putting chairs back in the east wing of the church.

While ushers will be helping to facilitate social distancing among parishioners, we expect you to take an active role in assisting them and moving over to make enough room for others to sit in the pew while maintaining a safe distance.

We will be continuing the safety measures we have in place for all of our Masses. The health and safety of our parishioners is a top priority.

Additionally, we will be opening all of the doors to the church for entry and exit. Please continue to maintain social distance when entering and leaving. St. Mary Mother of God, pray for us!

Peace, Msgr. Ross Shecterle and Fr. Andrew Linn

page 5 TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

From Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki For more than 25 years of my priestly life, I taught moral theology, both in high school and college, and for over 17 of those years at the graduate level of the major seminary. Inevitably, a question would be posed by one of the students: “Father, is it really a serious sin to miss Sunday Mass?” I would answer directly and firmly “yes.” Then, I would qualify that certain circumstances exempt a person from the obligation. Some look upon the obligation as fulfilling a law that the Church imposes. Laws are given to us to assist us and protect us in our journey through life. But, we must always look deeper, seeing the person and the relationship, which directs and defines the law. I would always attempt to have the students understand that our obligation comes from a deep relationship we have with God and the acknowledgment that His Son, who is our Savior and Redeemer, was raised on this particular day of the week. The importance of celebrating this day was something even the earliest of Christians could not live without. What made sense for many of my students was the example of how we, as family members, are expected to attend certain family gatherings or functions, which demonstrate our belonging and the value that we have as family members. It is a means of acknowledging our identity and growing in our experience as a family. For instance, in my home, as an extended family member, you were always expected to attend Christmas Eve dinner at my grandfather’s home and only a serious situation would justify your absence. Our family history and relationships were built upon this gathering and others that were deemed essential. The same holds true for Sunday Mass. Our obligation to attend Sunday worship reflects the very character of who we are as Catholics. When we fail in our responsibility before God, we sin. Therefore, we need to form our consciences so that we can be fully informed in making decisions about our actions. The Church in Her wisdom offers us guidelines to help in our formation. Knowing how serious the obligation is to attend Sunday Mass, you must understand the thoughtful and prayerful discernment that caused me to dispense from the obligation to attend Sunday worship for the last six months. As responsible parish communities, we needed to assess the transmission of the COVID-19 virus, permit our parishes the time to establish plans for sanitizing worship spaces, secure needed resources, evaluate the appropriate numbers for social distancing and solicit the voluntary personnel necessary to accomplish the tasks of preparing our worship spaces. The dispensation was made for the safety of all and to alleviate the burden of those conflicted by the obligation to attend Mass due to the coronavirus threat. Many have been fortunate to continue their prayer at home because of technology, viewing the Mass on Heart of the Nation, public broadcasts or live-streaming. But televised or computer viewing does not fulfill the Sunday obligation. Instead, it is there to help those prohibited from attending public celebrations to have a sense of connectedness and it wonderfully fulfilled that task. Assisted by many volunteers, our parishes have worked very hard to provide for sanitized environments, observing social distancing, the wearing of masks and the use of hand sanitizers. Because of these efforts since the end of May, we have already experienced a return to Sunday worship. On September 14, 2020, the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass and Holy Days of Obligation will expire, and it will be the responsibility of those who are capable and not prohibited by other circumstances to attend Sunday Mass. Those who deliberately fail to attend Sunday Mass commit a grave sin.

There are circumstances where the obligation cannot be fulfilled. One example is the impossibility to attend Mass. When our Churches were closed and offered no public Masses, it was impossible for people to attend, and so there was no sin for missing Mass. If a person is ill, especially during this pandemic, they should remain at home. Likewise, if a person is at risk because of age, underlying medical conditions or a compromised immune system, one would be excused from the obligation. If a person is caring for a sick person, even if they are not sick, they would be excused from the obligation out of charity. Fear of getting sick, in and of itself, does not excuse someone from the obligation. However, if the fear is generated because of at-risk factors, such as pre-existing conditions, age or compromised immune systems, then the fear would be sufficient to excuse from the obligation. It is up to each individual to weigh their own circumstances through an examination of their conscience and determine, by use of their conscience, whether or not they are excused from the Sunday obligation. Remember, a well-formed conscience is upright and truthful. Our Sunday worship is a joyful obligation. It is a witness to God as the priority in our lives. We place our trust in Him and His Church. We, together, recognize Him in the breaking of the bread as He offers himself to us in Communion so that, in His name, we might LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
