St. Patrick March 17, 2020 Dear Parishioners Of St. Patrick March 17, 2020 Dear Parishioners of Mt. St. Michael, Praised be Jesus and Mary! You’ve heard me say from the pulpit that it’s important to not get hysterical in the present corona virus crisis, and I continue to repeat that important point. However, we have to be realistic as well, and realize that we might be unwittingly giving or receiving this virus to others. Today, Bishop Mark Pivarunas sent a message to the CMRI priests stating the following: As Catholics, we have to set a good example to our neighbor by obeying lawful civil authority. At this time, the President of the United States has issued guidelines for the next 15 days in order to protect the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions from contracting this virus as it could be fatal to them. His other concern is that our healthcare system is not able to provide sufficient medical care to large numbers. It is prudent that we abide by these guidelines not only for the welfare of those most vulnerable, but also that a large number of our faithful avoid mandatory quarantine in the event that even one parishioner should come down with this virus. Therefore, for the next 15 days, we should cancel all public Masses; however, our churches and chapels should remain open for the faithful to be able to pray privately. Also, our priests should add in their Masses an “oratio imperata” under #13 Pro Quacumque Tribulatione found in the back of the Missal for the containment of the virus and the health of our parishioners. You are obviously dispensed from assisting at Mass on Sunday, which is a matter of Church law. You are not dispensed from keeping Sunday holy, however. This obligation is from Divine Law, so you must offer special worship to God in your homes on Sundays, refrain from servile work, and sanctify the day by appropriate observance. There will be no public Holy Hours, public Stations of the Cross, or other devotions that attract a group of people larger than 10. The Chapel will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, and I’m asking the parishioners to sign up for at least one Holy Hour a week – that way we would have continuous adoration of the Blessed Sacrament during the day and evening hours! With over 200 households in the parish, we should be able to easily cover the 105 hours that this represents. The secretary, Anne Marie Netzel, has the sign-up sheet, and you can personally sign up your family or call it in to her. More than one family can be signed up per hour, but be sure to observe the 10-person limit. The priests will be offering daily Masses, of course, in the Convent, Novitiate, and Rectory, praying for your intentions and asking God to bring this epidemic to an end. They will be available for Confessions at the normally-scheduled times. Besides making the Holy Hours, I urge you to make many Spiritual Communions during this time, since, as rule, the priests will be giving Holy Communion only to those in danger of death. They will continue to make sick calls, taking the necessary health precautions. It is possible, of course, that this shutdown will last more than the 15 days. We will have to wait and see. I urge you to remember that measures such as this were taken during the great Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918. Those that quarantined and took precautions as a rule survived. “In times like these, it’s good to remember that there have been times like these.” Obviously, the Mount continues to incur expenses, as you all do. We will gratefully accept your continued tithe and support, which may be given to Anne Marie in the parish office, or to Tim Drahman in the accounting office. We had scheduled the Easter flower collection for next Sunday, March 22, so you may still give your donation for that purpose, if you wish. The plans for the funeral of Mr. Thomas Drahman are not finalized at this moment. The funeral will not be taking place this week, but when it does, it will be for the family only. This great and devoted parishioner, sadly, will not have the great numbers of attendance that would be desired for one who did so much for our parish and for souls for so many years. After the danger of the corona virus has ceased, we will have a public Rosary and Solemn Requiem Mass to pray for him and honor his memory. Please watch our website for any updates and changes. And let us pray for one another, our country, and the whole world. In Jesus and Mary, Rev. Father Casimir Puskorius, CMRI P.S. – One more point to share with you from Fr. Benedict Hughes: “Since the bishop has instructed us to cancel public Masses for the next 15 days, our live-streaming of the Mass is even more valuable and will be beneficial to many souls. Therefore, we are starting a new schedule for live-streaming the Mass every day, and adding a couple of additional Mass times. So here is our schedule of live-streaming of the Mass for the next couple of weeks: Daily (Monday through Friday) at 7:00 am Every Saturday at 8:00 am Every Sunday at 7:00 and 9:00 am. In addition, there will be broadcast High Masses this Thursday, the feast of Saint Joseph, and next Wednesday, the feast of the Annunciation at 10:30 am. Of course, all times given are for Pacific Daily Time, so you will need to adjust accordingly. Once again, to connect to the live-stream, people should go to www.miqparish.org and click on the live-stream tab on the right, under the word "welcome". (It is right above the picture of the angels. Then scroll down to the video. This option also allows people to view past Masses, so if a time given is inconvenient for watching the Mass live, they can always view it later. Also, the Rosary will be prayed at Masses on Saturday and Sunday one-half hour before Mass. In addition, we will be giving Sunday sermons as well, even though the church is empty. It is my prayer that this service will be a source of grace to our parishioners, as we continue through this trying period.” In Jesus and Mary, Fr. M. Benedict, CMRI .

In reading the reports of the various CIB regions contained in these pages, I have seen some common issues that seem to bind us together in this. First and foremost, we can see that this time has been both a challenge and a blessing for us. There have been unexpected benefits for our monastic communities even as we have experienced many undesired limitations and some fear, as well as sickness and death (both in our communities and in our families).

Sacerdotal / A6 Church soon to implement changes in Mass translation By Pinky Barrientos, FSP CHANGES in the English translation of the Order of the Mass are soon to hit parishes across the country when the full implementation of the new liturgical text is adapted next year. The adoption of the new English translation of the Ro- man Missal has been approved by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) during its plenary assembly in January this year. Some parts of familiar responses and prayers have been amended to reflect the true meaning in the original Latin text, the language of the Roman liturgy. In the Introductory Rites, for instance, the response of the faithful “And also with you” to the priest’s greeting “The Lord be with you” has been replaced with “And with your spirit.” © Noli Yamsuan / RCAM Yamsuan © Noli Similar changes have also been introduced in other parts of the Mass, such as the Liturgy of the Word, Liturgy of the Eucharist and the Concluding Rites.
