SAINT BONAVENTURE CHURCH TWELFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | JUNE 21, 2020 As Christian stewards, our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people through word, sacrament, service and community life.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father knowing ... fear not, you are more valuable than many sparrows.
– Matthew 29:31 Page two 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time
PPastor’sastor’s CCornerorner
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Today I want to offer a prayer for all the Dads on this Father’s Day:
God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Today is the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The response to today’s Psalm is, “Lord, in your great love, answer me.” I find this very appropriate. I have been doing a lot of praying during the “lock down time” of the last three months. We were ready to celebrate the opening of our church in March, only to be told to stay home. We have all been through so much. I was so happy when the Bishop offered to bless our newly retrofitted and renovated church on June 14. Originally this was going to be just a livestream Mass. Then with the help of the Bishops of California, including Bishop Vann, as well as Bishop Jaime Soto, a native son of Orange County and Bishop of Sacramento, we were allowed by the Governor to open our churches on June 14.
This was a blessing and a challenge. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We didn’t want to turn anyone away from Mass that day. So since we were restricted to only 100 people in church, we decided to have people remain outside until the Rite of Holy Communion.
At the Mass on Monday, June 15 parishioners still could not sit in the pews. Instead they had to stay in the Narthex (vestibule) or outside. However, after Mass, we asked for volunteers to help with cleaning the pews and high-touch areas. We were blessed with many volunteers who helped clean the pews and high-touch areas after Mass on Tuesday which meant they were able to sit in the pews, of course, with social distancing. Over 100 came to Mass, so unfortunately some had to stay outside, and Holy Communion was brought to them. This gave us time to work out the best way to do the cleaning; therefore, this weekend we will invite the first 100 to come into church. (Actually, closer to 88 since the priest, lector, eucharistic ministers, ushers, sacristan, audio-visual crew need to be part of the total count.) After we hit 100 in church, everyone else will need to stay outside and Holy Communion will be brought out by a Eucharistic Minister at the proper time.
My prayer now is that the Governor and County officials will allow us to have more parishioners in the church. Please join me in prayer for this intention. I also pray that many more volunteers will help us with the many tasks that are needed, including cleaning the pews.
God bless all our wonderful parishioners; you are truly a blessing. As St. Paul tells us, “How much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many” (Romans 5:15). June 21, 2020 Page three

CHURCH RENOVATION UPDATE As Father Joe said in the Pastor’s Corner today, there have been several changes in the past few weeks. On June 14, we celebrated our (partial) return to our church. It had been 90 weeks since we last celebrated a public Mass in our church. And then on Wednesday, June 17 the first 100 parishioners came into the church for the 8:30 a.m. Mass. This was decided on Monday, June 15 from what we learned on Sunday, June 14. TURNING THE HEARTS We tested our cleaning procedures, etc. with these 8:30 a.m. morning OF FATHERS Masses.
