View this bulletin online at www.DiscoverMass.com PASTOR’S COLUMN Dear Brothers and Sisters, As the days go by, we continue to see an increase in COVID numbers – even in our area. Daily I am being notified of parishioners who are now positive symptomatic. On Saturday, July 11th, we had our first funeral due to COVID illness. Everyday I pray that God will spare us all from this disease. But, friends, we must do our part to make the prayer realized. We know what the medical experts are telling us, and we need to take heed. This past week we heard Jesus say in the Gospel, “Let those who have ears, hear!” Don’t go out in public gatherings if you don’t have to. And, if you do, remember to wash your hands or use sanitizer, wear a mask and keep that proper distance from those not in your household. Recently we’ve received multiple calls for anointing – and even last rites – for people who are ill with COVID-19. If they are in a nursing home or hospital, we are not able to go and visit because of the institutions’ restrictions. If they are at home, I cannot go and be exposed to the virus. If either Fr. Justin or I are exposed to the virus we will have to be tested and go into quarantine, meaning a complete shut down of the parish. It’s happening to parishes within the archdiocese. Both of us – and our deacons – are happy to pray with people over the phone; but we know that it is not the sacrament of Anointing. It’s heartbreaking for me to not be able to bring the comfort and healing of the sacrament. And so, please keep all of the COVID positive people in your prayers. Ask our Lady of Prompt Succor to intercede on their behalf. There is some good news in all of this. We have been approved to re-open our Early Childhood Center. In fact, they’ve been in operation for three weeks now. There were a number of criteria that had to be met and under the watchful direction of Kathy Schaefer, we hear the joyful shouts and sounds of children again in our building. The teachers have had to take State Sponsored ongoing formation as part of the reopening plan. The complete plan was approved by the Cardinal’s office as well as the State. The children go through the same type of entrance requirements as do those coming to Mass. A lot of supplies have had to become individual use supplies; but all in all, everyone is happy to have some sense of normalcy with the children. They are a sign of hope and movement forward as they are “bubbled” in our building. We are presently working on a special evening of music to honor our patron saint, Ignatius of Loyola. His feast day is July 31st, a Friday this year. The music department is planning a way to invite you to come and be present in the church – just like at Mass – and enjoy the sounds of music that will lift the wear heart. Organ, trumpet, solo voices, piano and other instruments joining together – at proper distancing and masking – to give God glory and praise. We will keep you posted through Flocknotes and other announcements. But, to help you envision the plan, think of what it is like coming to Mass. But, instead of Mass, it will be a time filled with music, sacred music, to honor and give thanks to the Lord. Mark your calendars. Seating will be limited to the 25% capacity of our church’s nave. Traditionally students and families in our formation programs follow the schedule for Klein Independent School District. I am sure you are aware that KISD has announced that there are two options for students in the Fall: Klein-Campus and Klein-Online. With that in mind, our formation department is now able to pull together our program for the Fall semester. I invite you to watch for updates, keep an eye on your email and our website over the next few weeks. The members of the department, in consultation with parents, catechists and the archdiocese are working vigilantly on ways to keep the faith alive and growing. Stay safe. Stay home if you don’t need to go out. While the obligation for physical attendance at Mass is still dispensed, don’t neglect your relationship with the Lord. And stay connected to the Lord through scripture, prayer and by participating in livestream Mass. With Blessings for a restful summer,

Todos los días recibo notificaciones de feligreses que ahora son sintomáticos positivos. El sábado 11 de julio, tuvimos nuestro primer funeral debido a una enfermedad COVID. Todos los días rezo para que Dios nos libere a todos de esta enfermedad. Pero, amigos, debemos poner de nuestra parte para hacer realidad esta oración. Sabemos lo que nos dicen los médicos expertos, y debemos prestar atención. La semana pasada escuchamos a Jesús decir en el Evangelio: "¡Oigan los que tienen oídos!" No salgan a reuniones públicas si no tienen que hacerlo. Y, si lo hacen, recuerden lavarse las manos o usar desinfectante, usar una mascarilla y mantener la distancia adecuada con las personas que no habitan con ustedes en su hogar. Recientemente hemos recibido múltiples llamadas para ungir, e incluso para ofrecer los últimos ritos, para las personas que están enfermas con COVID-19. Si están en un hogar de ancianos o en un hospital, no podemos ir a visitarlos debido a las restricciones de las instituciones. Si están en casa, no puedo ir y quedar expuesto al virus. Si cualquiera de los dos ya sea el padre Justin o yo estamos expuestos al virus, tendremos que someternos a pruebas y entrar en cuarentena, lo que significaría un cierre completo de la parroquia. Esto le está pasando a muchas de las parroquias dentro de la Arquidiócesis. El padre Justin y yo junto con todos nuestros diáconos, estamos felices de orar con las personas por medio del teléfono; pero sabemos que no es el sacramento de la Unción de los enfermos. Para mí es desgarrador no poder brindar la comodidad y la sanación o curación del sacramento. Y así, por favor mantengan a todas las personas positivas del COVID en sus oraciones. Pídale a nuestra Señora del Pronto Socorro que interceda en su nombre. Hay algunas buenas noticias en todo esto. Hemos sido aprobados para reabrir nuestro Centro de Infancia. De hecho, han estado en funcionamiento ya por tres semanas. Hubo una serie de requerimientos que tuvieron que cumplirse y, bajo la atenta dirección de Kathy Schaefer, escuchamos nuevamente las voces y sonidos alegres de los niños en nuestro edificio. Los maestros han tenido que tomar la formación continua patrocinada por el estado como parte del plan de reapertura. El plan completo fue aprobado por la oficina del Cardenal y por el Estado. Los niños pasan por el mismo tipo de requisitos al ingresar, así como los que vienen a Misa. Muchos suministros se han convertido en suministros de uso individual; pero en general, todos están felices de tener un sentido de normalidad con los niños. Son un signo de esperanza y avance, ya que están "felices" en nuestro edificio. Actualmente estamos trabajando en un festejo musical especial para honrar a nuestro Patrón, Ignacio de Loyola. Su fiesta es el 31 de julio, un viernes a finales de este mes. El departamento de música está planeando una invitación a venir y estar presente en la iglesia, al igual que en la Misa, y disfrutar de los sonidos de la música que les levantarán el corazón. Órgano, trompeta, voces solistas, piano y otros instrumentos que se unen al formar música que les deleitara. Todo esto siempre manteniendo una distancia y cobertura de cara adecuados y apropiados, para dar gloria y alabanza a Dios. Los mantendremos informados a través de Flocknotes y otros anuncios. Imagínese lo que es venir a la Misa. Pero, en lugar de celebrar la Misa, será un tiempo lleno de música, música sagrada, para honrar y dar gracias al Señor. Marquen sus calendarios. Los asientos serán limitados al 25% de la capacidad de la nave de nuestra iglesia. Tradicionalmente, los estudiantes y las familias en nuestros programas de formación siguen el horario del Distrito Escolar Independiente de Klein. Estoy seguro de que ya saben que KISD ha anunciado que hay dos opciones para los estudiantes en el otoño: Klein-Campus y Klein-Online. Con eso en mente, nuestro departamento de formación ahora puede planear nuestro programa para el semestre de otoño. Los invito a ver las actualizaciones, chequear su correo electrónico y nuestro sitio web durante las próximas semanas. Los miembros del departamento, en consulta con los padres, los catequistas y la arquidiócesis, trabajan de manera ardua para mantener viva y creciente la fe. Cuídense, qquédense en casa si no necesita salir. Si bien la obligación de asistencia física a la Misa está dispensada, no descuiden su relación con el Señor. Mantente conectado con el Señor a través de las Escrituras, la oración y participando en la Misa en vivo.

Con bendiciones para un verano tranquilo,

Solemos encontrar lo que estamos buscando. El Primer Obispo de Boston John Cheverus, quien murió en este día en 1836, siempre buscaba—y entregaba—amistad. Forzado a huir de Francia después de ser ordenado debido a la Revolución Francesa, llegó a los Estados Unidos para convertirse en el pastor de confianza de los pueblos nativos en Maine. Designado Obispo de Boston, encontró resistencia de los líderes protestantes de allí, quienes más tarde se lamentaron y protestaron cuando Cheverus fue llamado de regreso a Francia. Sus sacerdotes lo seguían, los laicos confiaban en él, las familias pobres contaban con él. De cualquier manera que conduzcas, hazlo con amor y amistad.
