The Bishops across all five Indiana dioceses have extended the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass until November 1, 2020.
It is NOT a permanent dispensation.
-
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most
Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I
desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come
at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if
You have already come and unite myself wholly to
You. Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Note From The Pastor
Staying Connected in time of COVID
We live in the digital age where sharing information is done in an instant, even across the globe.
We can text, email and even video chat with multiple people at a time. This has been a blessing
during this time of pandemic, but it has also left us with a challenge – how to do more to share
information that actually communicates and builds relationships. Let me share an all too familiar
example.
My mother lives in a long-term care facility, Holy Family Residence, in St. Paul, Minnesota. It is run by
the Little Sisters of the Poor. The Little Sisters don’t just care for the elderly as a ministry, they take
them into their home. It is run as a community or home. I have often stayed there when I have returned
to Minnesota. The pandemic has radically changed this. When I was in Minnesota in June, I wasn’t able
to stay there and my visits with my mother were through a window or with her standing at her 3rd floor
window with me in the parking lot talking with her by phone. We would share experiences, catch up on
news, and communicate. I appreciated seeing her, since she is not able to do video chats. Still, it was
lacking important elements of communication. There is a lot of communication that is lost when it is not
in person — eye contact, facial expressions, simple touch, etc. That is what the Little Sisters create in
their homes and what creates community. I am sure many of you have had similar experiences with your
loved ones either in care facilities or across the country. Creating and maintaining relationships involves
more that simple sharing of information.
That is also true for our parish. We have tried to communicate by livestreaming Mass, emails and links
to view our bulletin. Even those who have returned to Church for Mass know that communication is
difficult when interaction is in passing, with masks, or when conversation is limited to a parking lot
encounter. This hasn’t changed the need for the communication, it is just very challenging.
We can and will work to address this challenge. I welcome your ideas and input. At Holy Spirit, one
thing that you may notice is an upgrade to the livestream capability. At St. John Vianney, we are
looking into what is needed to improve our livestream quality. This should make the livestream
experience better for communication – you should be able to see facial expressions of priests and
liturgical ministers.
We will continue to use multiple means of communication. If you are someone who has not returned to
church and is unable to access or read the bulletin online, please let us know. We will mail it to you. If
you haven’t been to church and would like to receive Holy Communion, please let us know. We can
arrange a safe visit (masks, outdoors, brief) by a priest or Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion.
Now more than ever we all need the grace of Christ in the Eucharist.
If you haven’t been back to Church, please consider doing so. We would love to see you! If your
concern is exposure to the virus, consider a weekday Mass. There is plenty of space to be distant and the
Mass doesn’t last as long as the Sunday Masses. For your convenience, the schedules for both
Holy Spirit and St. John Vianney are listed in the bulletin. We have also shifted the Confession and
Exposition (Adoration) on Wednesday evening from St. John Vianney to Holy Spirit. This will be
Wednesday’s from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM in the main Church at Holy Spirit. Please consider joining us.
Finally, I would like to suggest that doing things the “old fashioned way” may have greater impact.
That is, call someone instead of an email or text. Write a note to tell someone you are praying for them.
Staying connected is important for everyone and our faith community.
“If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
~ St. Teresa of Calcutta

The Catholic Ministries Appeal (formerly Fruitful
Harvest) will begin in our parish this weekend,
September 19-20, 2020. Prior to this weekend, you
should have received an envelope in the mail from
Bishop Doherty with a brochure explaining the many
ministries supported by this important appeal, as well
as a pledge card and return envelope for mailing.
The Appeal provides the opportunity for each of us
within our parish to share in the good works of our
diocesan family. By giving to the Catholic Ministries
Appeal, you are helping to support programs across
our diocese for our retired priests as well as new
seminarians, for our youth, Newman Centers,
deacons, prison ministry, pregnancy centers and so
much more.
Our parish family has been asked to raise $59,739.
Please note that the goals for St. John Vianney and
Holy Spirit are separate. In order to reach our goal, I
am asking each household to consider a gift that can
be paid over the next 16 months.

About the Gospel
Did your brother or sister ever get allowance
when they did not do their chores? It can feel
unfair when someone gets paid when they did
not work as hard as you did. Jesus says, “The
last will be first, and the first will be last.”
Jesus is generous. He reminds us there is room
for everyone in his Church and in Heaven. Visit
www.usccb.org/bible/readings to read this Sunday’s Scripture.
In Church
Before Mass starts, watch the people coming into the church.
See how people move over in their pew to make space for those
who arrive a little later. Everyone is welcome in God’s church.
Family Prayer
Dear Jesus, show us how to put others first. Remind us that you
love all of us and you want us to love each other.
Question of the Week
When did you want to be first, but did not get to be? Name
something positive about being last or putting others first.
