Sunday Mass & Fellowship: 11:00 a.m. + Sunday Confessions: 10:15 – 10:45 a.m. Wednesday Mass: 7:00pm + Confessions: 6:30 – 6:45 p.m. Today’s Mass Intention: For the People of St. Alban’s (Pro Populo) ​ ​ Welcome to St. Alban’s Catholic Church, a growing Catholic community of disciples of Jesus Christ formed through our beautiful Ordinariate traditions of liturgy, prayer, Biblically-rooted preaching, and fellowship. We encourage you to join us every Sunday as we seek to worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness through the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at St. Cecilia’s Church in the Saint Kateri Tekakwitha parish of Irondequoit.

Guidelines for the Resumption of Public Mass

● The obligation to attend Sunday and Holy Day Masses remains commuted. You may choose to commute your obligation to attend Mass by meditating on the Liturgy of the Word from this Sunday’s readings and 1 offering a Spiritual Act of Communion; or you may choose to offer a family Rosary. Our parish will continue to broadcast our Masses and make them available for home worship at our home page (www.stalbanscatholic.com) and YouTube channel (St. Alban’s Catholic Church). This option should ​ ​ ​ ​ remain a matter of serious consideration for those particularly vulnerable to the virus due to age or underlying health conditions. Please make sure to subscribe to our YouTube and St. Alban’s Flocknotes (stalban.flocknote.com) so you can stay connected. ​ ​ ● No person (nor any household that includes a person) with cold or flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, body aches, or other indicators should attend public Mass. ● Attendance at each Mass will be limited to 25% of our seating capacity, which in our case will limit the ​ ​ ​ attendance at each Mass to 100 persons, including the priest, servers, organist-cantor, etc. ​ ● Everyone is required to provide their own masks and wear them throughout the entire duration of Mass; only lowering them to receive Holy Communion. ● Pews will be roped off to ensure appropriate distancing between families or individuals of different households. ● Public entrances will be propped open and pews, door handles, and bathroom fixtures will be sanitized on multiple occasions before and after every Mass. ● We will provide copies of St. Alban’s Order of Holy Mass Booklet for you to take home. ● At the time for the distribution of Holy Communion, the usher will dismiss you from your pew, family by family or individual by individual. The usher will have a bottle of hand sanitizer for you to cleanse your hands and you may lower your face mask at this time. ● While proceeding forward to receive Holy Communion, families or individuals should place their tithes/donations in the collection basket. Anyone who has filled out a welcome card can also place it in the collection basket. ● Please take note of the instructions listed in the worship aid for online donations. ● When you come forward to receive Holy Communion, please maintain the social distancing protocol of remaining 6 feet apart. ● As is the custom at St. Alban’s, we will provide Holy Communion under both species by intinction (when the consecrated Host is dipped into the Precious Blood). We ask that all communicants come ​ ​ down the center aisle to the central prayer desk kneeler, and either kneel or remain standing to receive the Eucharist on the tongue. The priest will cleanse and disinfect his hands between distributing to every single communicant. ● If you are not receiving Holy Communion today, please place your arms in an X across your chest and that will indicate that you would like to receive a blessing. ● Once you have received Holy Communion or your blessing, you may return to your pew by the side aisle. ● At the end of Mass, please maintain social distancing as you leave, and avoid crowding at the exits.

1 St. Gregory’s Prayer Book: A Primer of Catholic Devotions from the English Patrimony (San Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 2018), ​ ​ page 230. “In union, dear Lord, with all the faithful at every altar of thy Church where the blessed Body and Blood are being offered to the Father, I desire to offer thee praise and thanksgiving. I believe thou art truly present in the Most Holy Sacrament. And since I cannot now receive thee sacramentally, I beseech thee to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself unto thee, and embrace thee with all the affections of my soul. Let me never be separated from thee. Let me live and die in thy love. Amen.”

Processional Hymn: Praise to the Living God ...... Leoni ​ ​ ​

Introit: Ps 55:19, 20, 23, 1, 2 ...... Dum clamarem ​ ​ ​ When I called upon the Lord, he heard my voice, even from the battle that was against me: yea, even God that endureth for ever shall hear me, and bring them down: O cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall nourish thee.

(Ps) Hear my prayer, O Lord, and hide not thyself from my petition: take heed unto me, and hear me:

GLORY. When I …

COLLECT FOR PURITY

SUMMARY OF THE LAW

Kyrie: Missa Sancta Maria Magdalena...... Healey Willan ​ ​ ​

Gloria: Missa Sancta Maria Magdalena...... Willan ​ ​ ​

Collect: ​ Let thy merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of thy humble servants: and that they may obtain their petitions, make them to ask such things as shall please thee; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. ​

The Lesson: Isaiah 56:1, 6-7 ​ Thus says the Lord: “Keep justice, and do righteousness, for soon my salvation will come, and my deliverance be revealed.

And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, every one who keeps the sabbath, and does not profane it, and holds fast my covenant—these I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”

The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. ​ ​

The Psalm: Ps 85:8-9, 10-11, 12-13 ...... Kennedy ​ ​ ​ ​

1 God be merciful unto us, and bless us, | and show us the light of his countenance, and be merciful un- to us; ​ ​ ​ 2 That thy way may be known upon earth, | thy saving health among all nations. ​ ​ ​ (repeat second half) ​ ​ 4 O let the nations rejoice and be glad; | for thou shalt judge the folk righteously, and govern the nations ​ ​ upon earth. ​

5 Let the peoples praise thee O God; | yea, let all the peoples praise thee. ​ ​ ​ 7 God shall bless us; | and all the ends of the world shall fear him. ​ ​ ​

The Epistle: Romans 11:13-15, 29-32 ​ Brethren: I am speaking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch then as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I magnify my ministry in order to make my fellow Jews jealous, and thus save some of them. For if their rejection means the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead?

For the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable. Just as you were once disobedient to God but now have received mercy because of their disobedience, so they have now been disobedient in order that by the mercy shown to you they also may receive mercy. For God has consigned all men to disobedience, that he may have mercy upon all.

The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God. ​ ​

Alleluia: Ps 65:1...... Te decet hymnus ​ ​ ​

Thou, O God, art praised in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem. Alleluia. ​

Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with thy Spirit. Priest: A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Saint Matthew. People: Glory be to thee, O Lord.

The Holy Gospel: Matthew 15:21-28 ​ At that time: Jesus went away from there and withdrew to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a Canaanite woman from that region came out and cried, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely possessed by a demon.” But he did not answer her a word. And his disciples came and begged him, saying, “Send her away, for she is crying after us.” He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” But she came and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, help me.” And he answered, “It is not fair to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” She said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.” Then Jesus answered her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed instantly. Priest: The Gospel of the Lord. People: Praise be to thee, O Christ. ​ ​

HOMILY

THE (The Creed is chanted in unison.) ​ ​

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, ​ and of all things visible and invisible;

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven, Genuflect and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; Rise and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, the Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the Prophets.

And I believe one holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, ✠ and the life of the world to come. Amen. ​ ​ ​

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE: INTERCESSION (FORM III)

Priest: With all our heart and with all our mind, let us pray to the Lord, saying, “Lord, have mercy.”

The Deacon or reader continues. Please respond to each petition with: ​

Priest: In the communion of the blessed ever-Virgin Mary, of St. Alban, St. Kateri Tekakwitha, St. Cecilia, and of all the Saints, let us commend ourselves, and one another, and all our life, to Christ our God.

The people respond:

(The priest concludes with a doxology, or one of the Collects appointed for use at the Intercessions.) ​ ​

(The Mass continues with the Penitential Rite.) ​ ​ THE PENITENTIAL RITE (The people kneel. Silence may be kept and then the priest begins as follows and the people join in saying.) ​ ​ ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men: We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty, provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us, the burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; for thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Priest: May Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all those who with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him, have mercy on us, pardon and deliver us from all our sins, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ​

THE COMFORTABLE WORDS (Announcements and notices may follow the Comfortable Words.) ​ ​

Offertory: Ps 25:1, 2 ...... Ad te, Domine, levavi ​ ​ ​ Unto thee, O Lord, lift I up my soul; O my God, in thee have I trusted, let me not be confounded: neither let mine enemies triumph over me; for all they that hope in thee shall not be confounded.

Offertory Hymn: Sing My Soul, His Wondrous Love ...... St. Bees ​ ​ ​ ​

Priest: Pray, brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable unto God, the Father Almighty. People: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at thy hands, for the praise and glory of his Name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church.

THE PEACE

O LORD Jesus Christ, who saidst to thine Apostles, Peace I leave with you; my peace I give unto you: regard not our sins, but the faith of thy Church; and grant to her peace and unity according to thy will; who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen. ​

(The people may offer one another a sign of peace. Then the people kneel.) ​ ​

Fraction Anthem: ​

Agnus Dei: Missa Sancta Maria Magdalena...... Willan ​ ​ ​

PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS

WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord whose property is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his Blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his Body, and our souls washed through his most precious Blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

(The priest genuflects, takes the Host and, turning to the people, holding it slightly raised above the Chalice says aloud:) ​ ​ Priest: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him that taketh away the sins of the world. Blessed are those who are called to the Supper of the Lamb.

(The people respond together with the priest three times, according to custom.) ​ ​ Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof, but speak the word only, and my soul shall be healed. (3x)

Communion: Ps 51:19...... Acceptabis ​ ​ ​ Thou shalt be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness: with the burnt-offerings and upon thine altar, O Lord.

GENERAL POSTCOMMUNION PRAYER (The priest and the people together, say the following:) ​ ​ ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs, through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of the most precious death and Passion of thy dear Son. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen. PROPER POSTCOMMUNION PRAYER Priest: Let us pray. Priest: Grant, O Lord, we pray thee, that this holy Communion, which we have received, may cleanse us from all our sins, and bestow upon us unity and concord; through Jesus Christ our Lord. People: Amen. ​ ​ ​ THE CONCLUDING RITES Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with thy spirit.

Priest: The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, ✠ the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen. ​ ​

THE All genuflect, as they are able, at the words, “And the Word was made flesh ” … The response at the end of the Gospel is: Thanks be to God. ​

Recessional Hymn: Jesus Shall Reign, Where’er the Sun...... Duke Street ​ ​ ​ ​
