COVID-19 Archdiocese of Regina UPDATES:

Stay up to date on protocols:

https://archregina.sk.ca/content/covid-19-updates

Wanted: Broken Rosaries, beads, bead cord, old jewelry suitable for making rosaries. These will be re-purposed into complete rosaries to give away to those who want them. Donations can be left in the marked drawer in the storage tower next to the office door in the Gathering Area.

Holy Trinity parishioner list continues to be updated. We want to keep in touch through regular (brief) reports from Fr Lorne. If you know of someone who hasn’t been receiving these by email, mail or delivery, call the office (306) 543-3838 or email [email protected]

to add them to our list.

YAHOO email addresses—we had some issues with these emails being returned to us. If you have a Yahoo email address and have not had a recent update from Father Lorne, please check your junk folder and contact Holy Trinity office at [email protected]

Holy Trinity update from Fr Lorne

We have now been experiencing Masses for four

weekends with the new protocols.

The guidelines for numbers attending, keeping records of who attends which Mass, health assessment questions, distancing and cleaning guidelines are onerous. We have limited staff resources at Holy Trinity, and Val, Heather and Dominic have extended themselves to make it possible for you to return to Mass.

We meet as a staff to discuss how we can make the most with our existing resources. We cannot work our staff seven days a week and so we have had to close at various times to ensure they get their proper time off.

In order to accommodate staff vacation time this summer, we have agreed that it will be less stressful for us to not have Saturday 5 pm Mass for July. For those of you who prefer this Mass time, we pray you will be able to come on Sunday morning at 10 am in order to help us get through the next few weeks.

If you wish to book a Sunday Mass time (10 am) email or call Val or the office.

New Air Conditioning Units—Thanks to all of you for your continued donations. We needed to replace two air conditioning units last week, at a total cost of $7,132. One unit was on the roof, so that involved a crane to lift it into place. Thanks to the CWL and K of C for sharing the cost of the kitchen unit.

No Bulletin or email update from Fr. Lorne—next weekend, Sunday, July 5.

Val will be emailing last year’s participants as well as families

with children in sacramental preparation.

Self-assessment Questions You will be asked the following when you book a weekend Mass, as well as when you arrive at Holy Trinity for any Mass:

Do you have COVID-19 or live with someone with COVID-19?

Have you been exposed to someone with COVID-19?

Are you sick, including even one of the slightest symptoms or feelings of sickness, especially upper respiratory or flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, aches & pains, sore throat, chills, runny nose, loss of sense of taste or smell or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing?

Have you travelled outside of Regina in the past two weeks?

The upholstery at Holy Trinity is not able to be sanitized.

Pews on the south side of the church do not have upholstery and you may

request to sit there, providing they are available with proper distancing.

Tanzania, African Project— For the last several years, the Holy Trinity CWL has assisted Dr. Pam Petruka by collecting items required for medical clinics, orphanages and schools in Africa and other third world countries. Due to COVID we were unable to gather items for Dr. Petruka to send where needed. However we can now resume collecting items such as big suit-cases, clothing and shoes - especially for children, blankets and school bags. AS WELL - Dr. Petruka was given numerous small cases that can be used in the orphanages as First-aid, School Supply or Sewing Kits.

Thank-you to everyone who has taken a kit to fill. There are still a couple of kits at the church office that can be picked up and filled if anyone would still like to assist with this project.

For more information call Lois @ 306-543-3934.

Part of this bulletin:

July 1 is celebrated as Canada’s birthday. Canadians should seek to be witnesses to Christ in Canada and the world, and to continue working to influence those in government to act from Christian principles and attitudes.

Christians, realizing they do not have a last-ing home here, should pray and work for justice and peace in Canada and throughout

the world, so that all God’s people may share in the goods of this earth. God’s kingdom will come only when all people are ready to let Christ’s teaching guide and rule their lives and actions. (Ordo Liturgical Calendar, p. 281)

Other Liturgy Changes—

Promptness—to ensure we can monitor who is

attending, the doors will be locked at the start of Mass.

This also allows us to provide the proper number of

hosts needed for that Mass.

Announcements will be done before Mass with

detailed instructions for Eucharist.

Singing is a high-risk activity so we will not have this

except for special music as we can fit this in safely.

Proclaimers of the Word—First Reading, Psalm and

Second Reading will all be proclaimed by the same

person. This will be done from a microphone at the

front, with care being taken to not share a microphone

within 72 hours of another person. The ambo (lectern)

and the microphone there are to be used only by

Father Lorne.

Collection—a collection box is inside the glass doors

for your donation instead of being collected from you

in the pew.

Eucharist—hosts will be consecrated on a table and

parishioners will come forward, one household group

at a time. Stand behind the black tape line; Father will

say “The Body of Christ”; respond ‘Amen’, then step

forward and pick up the host closest to you; take a

step or two away before consuming.

We are working hard to help get you back to Mass.

Thank you for your patience as we try things to see

what works for Holy Trinity.

Holy Trinity has re-opened for Masses

with limited numbers

The latest Government of Sask guidelines for Places of

Worship, are permitting more people in churches that can

accommodate them.

At Holy Trinity, we have seating for approximately 30

people, dependent on whether they come as couples, sin-

gles or families. We are registering at least 20 people for

weekend Masses and monitoring how many helpers we

need to provide the controls required for distancing and

cleaning.

Sat 5 pm Mass will be discontinued for July, during staff

vacation, as we cannot fill the positions needed for Satur-

day afternoons.

Requests for Sunday Mass Attendance are being co-

ordinated by Val Magnuson, Pastoral Assistant. She is

taking requests from registered parishioners by email to

attend a weekend Mass.

If you do not have email, call the parish office (306)

543-3838. Requests will be handled during our regular

office hours, which normally have been Monday to Friday,

9 am to 3 pm. Please provide a day-time phone number

so we can call you back and confirm an attendance date.

Questions about your health will be asked at time of

booking (see separate box). Those registered are being

given detailed instructions.

Weekday Mass Attendance - Generally weekday

Masses are Monday to Friday at 8:30 am. You do not

need to register in advance. Come to the north door; we

will record your name and phone number and ask the

health assessment questions. No Mass Wednesday,

July 1 and Thursday, July 9

Church Open for Prayer—We will continue to have the

church open for prayer from 9 am to 2 pm, Monday to

Friday, unless otherwise published in the bulletin.

We may need to close occasionally to ensure staff aren't

working too many hours to accommodate the required

protocols.

Church Pews—Our church pews are marked to for the

2 metre guidelines of social distancing. Our upholstered

pews cannot be sanitized. If you wish to bring your own

seat cushion or towel, please do so. The wooden pews

on the south side of the church do not have upholstery. If

you prefer to sit there, check with the person directing this.

Seating for Mass will be done from front to back. For exit-

ing after Mass, it will be reversed, from back to front.

These directions will be announced at the Mass.

Photos on website—check these out on the home page

to give you an idea what to expect.

Self-assessment Questions You will be asked the

following when you book a weekend Mass, as well as

when you arrive at Holy Trinity for any Mass:

Do you have COVID-19 or live with someone with

COVID-19?

Have you been exposed to someone with

COVID-19?

Are you sick, including even one of the

slightest symptoms or feelings of sickness,

especially upper respiratory or flu-like

symptoms such as fever, cough, headache,

aches & pains, sore throat, chills, runny nose,

loss of sense of taste or smell or shortness of

breath or difficulty breathing?

Have you travelled outside of Regina in the past

two weeks?

The upholstery at Holy Trinity is not able to be sanitized.

Pews on the south side of the church do not have upholstery and

you may request to sit there, providing they are available with

proper distancing.

TF197: An Interview With Transitional Deacon Chris LindenbachWeeks before his ordination to the Transitional Diaconate, Deacon Eric Gurash had a chance to talk with Seminarian Chris Lindenbach about his life, his vocation, and this thing we call ‘discernment’...Show Snippet: “They talk about any time you make any sort of commitment you make this big ‘yes’ and then that’s sustained by all these little yeses. And so the big yes for me was to go to the seminary and say okay God, if this is where you are calling me to go, as St. Ignatius said, you discern it to the end whatever that end may be and so for me that big yes was to go down the road not knowing where it will end but trusting that God will lead me and be with me.”https://thinkingfaith.libsyn.com/an-interview-with-transition-al-deacon-chris-lindenbach

“…whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.” (Matthew 10:38)

Pope Benedict XVI said, “The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort, you were made for greatness.” “Comfort” puts me first. “Picking up your cross and following Jesus” puts God and others first. Why settle for comfort when you can achieve greatness! Pick up your cross, ask Jesus for guidance on using your gifts and live the life God intended for you!
