th + Tenth Sunday After Trinity + Sunday, August 16 ,​ 2020 + ​ 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, altar 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.

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 NICENE CREED (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.
