Parish Directory Enthusiasm and Grammar There is a good reason that the writings of St. Paul don’t show up as examples in grammar textbooks. Today’s reading is a case in point. It begins with one of those long Pauline run on sentences that leave lectors gasping for breath. So what? Take a closer look at how Paul’s fervor for his subject matter derails the grammar. There is something admirable about being so caught up in his convictions that the words cannot come fast enough to express them, much less in an orderly fashion. Scripture scholars usually take this grammatical ineptness as a sign of a passage’s early importance in the Christian community, something they were so ardent about that their language never got refined. What leaves us in this condition? Re-telling the plot line of an action movie or the play-by-play of a sporting event? When was the last time any of us was so excited by our faith in Christ that we were left grasping for words, stumbling over our own errors in speech? It may be bad grammar, but it is an excellent way to inspire others with the message of Christ!

Saint John Fisher (1469-1535) and Saint Thomas More (1477-1535)

June 22 From Robert Bolt’s classic A Man for All Seasons to Showtime’s edgy The Tudors, Thomas More endears himself still: lawyer-statesman of impeccable integrity, remarried widower and affectionate father delighting in a lively household—four children, a pet monkey, even a paid jester! And challenges still: humanist-reformer, yet champion of Catholic faith and papal primacy. John Paul II named him Patron of Statesmen and Politicians, citing More’s generous work, both as a lawyer and in government service, on behalf of the poorest and most marginalized people of his time, as well as his promotion of education for all sectors of society. More’s decision for principle over politics, conscience over convenience prompted his final words: “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first.” Alone among England’s bishops, John Fisher dared challenge Henry VIII’s divorce and repudiation of the papacy. When the Pope named the imprisoned Fisher a cardinal, Henry thundered: “Don’t bother sending Fisher’s red hat here; I’ll send Fisher’s head to Rome!” Whose “good servants” are we first? Isn’t a right conscience worth the pain of standing alone?

Prayer for Stress and Anxiety Dear Lord, you know the difficult things I

am dealing with. You know how my mind won’t let me stop thinking about

everything. I feel stressed and so unsettled. I’m worried about what is

going to happen. Please take my burdens and the “what if’s” from me. Help me to focus my thoughts on you and not worry about what could happen. Please help me to take one day at a time. Please lead and

guide me and take control of this situation. Please give me your wisdom

and fill me with your peace. In the name of Jesus I ask these things.

Amen

Parish Life During the Coronavirus Crisis (continued)

Sew… We Need Your Help! If you can sew, we need your help! Disposable face masks are in short supply and fabric masks can help our healthcare workers and senior citizens. There are many designs online but simple is best. The instructions below for a simple mask can be adapted depending on what you have available. Tightly woven cotton fabric is best. If you don’t have flannel for the lining, use two layers of cotton fabric. If you don’t have elastic, use bias tape or fabric to edge the short end of the mask and make 10-12" ties on each corner. A collection box has been placed in the vestibule of the Oak Lawn Village Hall by the police desk on the west side of the building. The address of the Village Hall is: 9446 Raymond Avenue, Oak Lawn, IL, 60453. Please put your completed masks in a plastic bag and drop them in the box. They will be distributed as needed to local health care providers, nursing homes, etc. If you have any questions, please email [email protected]. Dig into your fabric stash and be creative! Happy sewing! Since many stores will be mandatorily closed, fabric can be purchased at Walmart, Amazon or mail order from Joann Fabrics.

Important: Early Bulletin Submission Deadline Due to the Independence Day holiday, our bulletin publisher has set an early deadline for the July 5th bulletin. In order to meet their deadline, I have moved up my submission deadline for that bulletin. All articles for the July 5th bulletin must be submitted to me (preferably as a Word document) at [email protected] no later than this Wednesday, June 24th. I appreciate your cooperation in working ahead. Thank you!

Subject: Reopening Plan for St. Christina Church Amid COVID-19 Hello St. Christina Family, I pray that you and your loved ones are healthy. As you may have seen, Cardinal Cupich recently shared our multi-phased plan for reopening churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago. Specifically,

• Phase I allows for parishes to reopen for Baptism, Reconciliation, Weddings and Funerals with a limit of 10 attendees.

• Phase IA allows for parishes to reopen for private prayer and adoration with a limit of 10 attendees. • Phase II allows for reopening for weekday and weekend Masses for larger groups depending on the guidelines

from the state and the capacity of the church building. Our St. Christina Reopening Plan First and foremost, it is important for everyone to understand that our efforts will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of all while maintaining due respect and reverence for the sacraments and liturgical norms of our faith. I will assemble a Parish Reopening Leadership Team with parishioner co-captains to lead our efforts. Together, we will attend required training from the Archdiocese to ensure that our parish reopening plan conforms to the guidelines developed by the Archdiocese in collaboration with civil and healthcare authorities. We will also receive a starter kit of protective and cleaning supplies, as well as guidance on purchasing/maintaining supplies ongoing. Volunteers Needed We will need volunteers to assist with various aspects of our parish reopening plan. Importantly, leadership team members and volunteers must not be part of a “vulnerable population” (that is, not over the age of 65; no underlying medical condition such as diabetes, lung disease, undergoing cancer treatment, etc.). I ask all of you who are younger than 65 and healthy with no underlying health conditions to consider assisting with one of three reopening teams:

• Set-up team. Sample duties include ensuring that all supplies needed for each sacramental celebration/gathering are ready for use, entrances and exits are marked and propped physically open prior to attendees’ arrival/departure, windows are opened, etc.

• Greeting team. Sample duties include assisting in managing the flow of congregants as they enter the church; making sure attendees use hand sanitizer upon entering, are wearing a mask, and are reminded not to enter if ill; directing people to appropriate seating/waiting areas, etc.

• Cleaning team. Sample duties include maintaining and cleaning essential and trafficked areas of the church before and after the church has been used. Masks and gloves will be provided, if you do not have your own, in addition to approved cleaning/disinfecting supplies.

To volunteer for one of these teams either call the Rectory (773-779-7181) or email Amy Murphy at [email protected].

The Reopening Leadership Team and I will make sure that all volunteers are properly trained. Please send us a message at [email protected] to indicate your willingness and ability to volunteer. From those that step forward, we will also request that some act as volunteer captains to help lead each of the three teams. Timing for Our Reopening As I mentioned, the Parish Reopening Leadership Team members and I will need to complete required training, which will take place beginning the week of May 17. Once we complete the training, we will need to review and complete tasks assigned to all parishes as part of a reopening certification process to be approved by the Archdiocese. Therefore, the soonest that any parish in the Archdiocese will realistically open for sacramental celebrations, private prayer or Eucharistic Adoration is still to be determined. However, our parish, like all others in the archdiocese, will move forward at a pace and timing appropriate for its own situation. Following our training and certification approval, at St. Christina, we will only open our church once the Reopening Leadership Team and I feel confident that we have the right volunteers in place to make it possible to reopen. Again, the need for parishioner assistance cannot be overstated. The guidelines and measures required to reopen are designed to protect our wellbeing and that of our broader community. As Cardinal Cupich has noted, from the first pages of Scripture we learn that we indeed are “our brother’s keeper.” Our Lord Jesus Christ prayed, “that they all may be one” (Jn 17:21) and commanded us “love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another” (Jn 13:34). Our collective patience, willingness to help and the

MULTI-PHASED PLAN FOR REOPENING CHURCHES PHASE I: Limited Sacramental Celebrations and Private Prayer Parish Actions and Responsibilities

• The pastor will need the assistance of the parish community, as he will be required to create a parish leadership team consisting of 6 people, including himself, to co-manage operations and to supervise cleaning, set-up and greeting.

• The parish business manager or someone designated by the pastor will serve as the compliance manager for the parish and assist with the submission of necessary compliance forms.

• The entire team of leaders is required to attend training and submit an implementation template for reopening, which needs to be reviewed and certified by the archdiocese or respective diocese.

• The parish will need to maintain an on-going procurement program for safety and cleaning supplies. • Based on go-forward approval, each parish will have the prerogative to offer Baptisms, Weddings,

Funerals, and Reconciliation in the church within the current limit of 10 attendees excluding ministers and on-site staff (“Phase I”).

• With additional preparation, each parish may optionally offer Eucharistic Adoration and private prayer times (“Phase IA”). In choosing to do so, parish leadership teams must comply with all published bishops’ guidelines outlining precautions preparing for, during and after the rite(s).

NOTE: During Phase I, parishes will not be allowed to offer either daily or Sunday Mass, even with 10 or fewer attendees. The resumption of public Mass, regardless of the number of attendees, is a more complex process, which requires the input of lessons that will be learned from Phase I. To that end, parishes and archdiocese or diocese will collaborate to gather data to improve the protocols and processes of the Plan before we move to worship services in Phase II. Archdiocesan/ Diocesan Actions and Responsibilities The archdiocese or diocese, depending on capacity, will provide the following services to support the parishes and pastors:

• Provide parishes information on securing supplies or a list of preferred vendors for supplies throughout the phases of the Plan.

• Conduct required training webinars for clergy, parish leaders and volunteers, to assist the pastor in managing the Plan in each phase. The Archdiocese of Chicago will develop a standard webinar based on these guidelines and make it available to the other dioceses in the Chicago Province.

• Create and distribute to parishes a video message from the local bishop to explain the Plan for reopening churches.

• Evaluate and certify parish proposals for opening during the phases. Create a dedicated email box that will be monitored by staff to answer questions or otherwise support parishes that feel they cannot open safely without additional help.

Continued on following page


• Gather and evaluate data from parishes on their Phase I and IA experience to adapt Phase II protocols for larger numbers, which will include public Mass.

• Work with government officials to explore possible increases in crowd size taking into consideration the capacity of church buildings.

PHASE II: Resumption of Public Masses Parish Actions and Responsibilities In Phase II parishes may apply for certification to offer daily and Sunday Mass. Parishes will also continue to celebrate Baptisms, Weddings, Funerals and Adoration. Given the more complex nature of celebrations of the Mass, entering Phase II will require parishes to:

• Expand the number of parish team members if civil authorities permit an increase in the crowd size for Phase II.

• Maintain an on-going procurement program for safety and cleaning supplies.

• Continue recruitment and training of new, non-vulnerable volunteers as needed.

• Develop logistical procedures in accord with the guidelines of the Plan to manage more frequent and larger services that cover actions before, during and after the rites.

• Implement a safe and secure attendance reservation/ ticketing system to maintain order and facilitate possible contact tracing of infection.

• Submit a detailed proposal for implementing Phase II. Archdiocesan Actions and Responsibilities To support the parishes in the preparation and implementation of Phase II, the Archdiocese or diocese will:

• Establish and update requirements for all services and rites according to the standards of government officials, health care experts and church authorities.

• Review and certify all parish proposals for reopening with celebration of Mass.

• Provide additional required webinars and training, as needed.

• Create and distribute to parishes a video message from the local bishop to explain procedures for attendance at Mass in Phase II.

• Conduct random assessments over time to ensure continued compliance with published requirements.

• Gather feedback from parishioners across the Archdiocese or diocese on how well the safety protocols are working and how comfortable they are with church precautions for their safety.

• Continually monitor feedback on execution and resources to assist in problem solving through ongoing communication with parish leadership, state and local authorities and public health officials.

On the Dangers of Smoking, and George Floyd, and Father’s Day Copyright 2020 by John B. Reynolds ([email protected])

There has been plenty to be outraged about these past few weeks, beginning with a Minnesota police officer keeping his knee on George Floyd’s neck after a local shop owner reported that Floyd had used a counterfeit $20 bill to buy a pack of cigarettes. And I read that the shop owner later said

people using counterfeit bills often don’t even know the money isn’t legit. Certainly, an investigation was warranted here, but there was no time for an investigation. There was only time for the police to cuff Floyd and kneel on his neck. For eight minutes and forty-six seconds, as the world now knows. All of this happened on Memorial Day. Kind of ironic in retrospect, you know?

The world also knows what came next: global protests at the brutality of it all. And not just

against Floyd, but against others who should still be here: Laquan McDonald, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor. And of course, Eric Garner, who in 2014 died from a New York City police officer’s chokehold, but only after repeating the same refrain that was on Mr. Floyd’s lips: “I can’t breathe.”

Garner’s offense? Per an online USA Today article, “Police had suspected Garner of selling loose, untaxed cigarettes on the street on New York City’s Staten Island.” When the Surgeon General reported in 1964 on the negative health impact of smoking, this probably isn’t what he had in mind.

I watched a lot of the news coverage: the hard-to-watch Memorial Day video, the protests and destruction, the funeral. But I’m taken by two things in particular. The first is a word used by Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx when discussing Floyd’s murder: “casual.” Specifically, “…I

watched that man with his knee in that man’s neck, hand in pocket, and his casual disregard for his life…” I couldn’t verbalize this word until Foxx did it for me, and she was spot-on. And perhaps with Father’s Day on the horizon at the time, the other thing that got me — and by the throat — was little Gianna Floyd’s answer to a reporter’s question about what her dad was like: “He played with me.”

Maybe today’s Gospel can inform the events of the past few weeks. Or 401 years. “Everyone

who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father,” Jesus says. “But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father.” Based on the funeral, the Floyd family is a faith-full lot. As such, they believe what we believe: that we are all brothers and sisters in Jesus. But we’ve lost too many of our kin: George, Laquan, Ahmaud,

Breonna, Eric. And so many more. But I think we acknowledge the Christ when we shed tears at Mr. Floyd’s murder, or feel something inside at Kim Foxx’s lament of casual racism, or march peacefully in the streets. Like Buffalo Springfield sang fifty+ years ago, “There’s something happening here.” It’s on us to keep it going. Besides “He played with me,” little Gianna also said, “Daddy changed the

world!” George Floyd was imperfect — as are we all — but on this June 21st, could there be a better tribute? Happy Father’s Day.
