The pope also accepted the resignation of Bishop Matthew H. Clark of Rochester, New York, 75, from the pastoral governance of the Rochester diocese and named Bishop Robert J.

The most significant of its restrictions is that “Places of worship must limit attendance to 25% of building capacity or a maximum of 100 attendees, whichever is lower. This limitation will be in effect for the first 21-days of a county public health department’s approval of religious services … at places of worship within their jurisdictions.”.” In subsequent weekly meetings with the Pastors and Business Managers of the Parishes of the Diocese, our Bishop, Most Rev. Kevin Vann, has made it abundantly clear that his over-riding interest is in protecting the Common Good, that is, in the health and welfare of our parishioners, especially “the weakest among us,” our Seniors and those with underlying health conditions. Further, Bishop Vann has made it clear that he is not being guided by politics of any kind, but rather and above all by the medical experts at the world-class St.

  • Little Girl, I Say to You, Arise!
    SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH 13TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | JUNE 27, 2021 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life. Little girl, I say to you, arise! Mark 5:41 Page two 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's corner Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, On this 13th Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Gospel Reading contains the cure of two seriously ill individuals. The daughter of Jairus, the synagogue official, was at the point of death and a woman had been afflicted with hemorrhages for twelve years. Can you imagine how frantic and anxious this father felt? His beloved daughter was dying and everyone around him was telling him to get ready for her death. Was this the same synagogue official who had scolded Jesus for curing on the sabbath? (See Luke 13:10-17) If so, did he remember that Jesus had cured the woman who had been unable to stand erect for eighteen years? The synagogue official searched for Jesus, and when he found him, begged him to come cure his dying daughter. While on his way, a woman who had been hemorrhaging for twelve years pushed through the crowd around Jesus and touched his cloak. Her flow of blood dried up and she felt cured. Has that ever happened to you? You were sick for a long time but finally started feeling better? Did you feel relief, joy, and many other emotions? This woman, who was now cured, heard Jesus say, “Who touched my clothes?” She became fearful.
