Pope Francis Addresses the United States On June 3rd in Pope Francis’ weekly General Audience, he addressed the people of the United States. Excerpts from his address are below: “Dear Brothers and Sisters in the United States, I have witnessed with great concern the disturbing social unrest in your nation in these past days, following the tragic death of Mr. George Floyd...We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. At the same time, we have to recognize that the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Noth-ing is gained by violence and so much is lost.” Pope Francis added, “Let us pray for the consolation of [the] grieving families and friends and let us implore the national reconciliation and peace for which we yearn.”

“May Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of America,

intercede for all those who work for peace and justice in your land and throughout the world.”

Dear Parish Family, As we celebrate Corpus Christi, we do so with longing for the greatest gift that is the Eucharist—the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. The weeks during shut down for the pandemic were difficult for many, as they could not receive Communion. This continues to be troubling for those who still are not physically able to attend mass. The longing for sacramental union with the Lord reminds us of our deepest longing and desire—union with God in heaven. This weekend, we are happy to admit new members to the Eucha-ristic table. Our children made their First Communion on Satur-day, after a delay due to the shutdown. It is always a great joy to share this Sacrament with them. Their longing for Jesus to come to them proves a wonderful example of their understanding of God’s love for them. We pray that they will now continue to live the Eu-charist throughout their lives. On Sunday, the elect and candidates from RCIA will be baptized and welcomed into full communion with the Catholic Church and receive Confirmation and First Communion as well. This process, also delayed due to the pandemic, now incorporates them in to the life of the Church. We welcome all of them to the Lord’s Table and to full participation in our parish celebration of the Eucharist. They now become what they have received—the Presence of Christ. Are we mindful of the Presence of Christ in one another? Do our actions reflect Christian charity and a spirit of forgiveness for the faults of others, realizing our own faults and failures? Acts of mer-cy and loving service abound throughout our Lord’s public minis-try. As His disciples, the Lord calls us to do the same, to live the Eucharist by giving of ourselves for others, using the gifts and tal-ents poured forth by the Holy Spirit into our lives. This means not sitting idle when the opportunity to do good presents itself, irre-spective of how large or small. At the dismissal of Mass, the di-rective is to “go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” The Sunday celebration of Mass—the Eucharist—is the pinnacle of our entire week. Everything we do leads us to that celebration and everything we do flows from it as well. Let us remain mindful of this reality. Let us deepen our yearning for this foretaste of the Heavenly Kingdom. This is especially important as we continue to navigate this pandemic. It is easy to become comfortable not com-ing to church, to watch Mass on TV or our computer screen. That might be comforting and necessary for some who remain at risk at this time. We do continue to be dispensed from the obligation at-tend Mass. However, it is not a substitute for participating in the celebration of Mass and receiving Holy Communion. On this So-lemnity of Corpus Christi, let us pray for the quick return to celebrating the Eucharist together again as a parish family. In Christ, Fr. Joe Previte

At Home Baby Bottle Collection for Womankind

Holy Rosary has a tradition of collecting change between Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day for the benefit of Womankind. Throughout the shut-

down Womankind has provided hope, help and possibility to any pregnant woman by offering comprehensive and integrative care in a loving,

nonjudgmental environment. Inevitably, the COVID-19 crisis is placing a considerable strain

on Womankind's resources. We weren't at church to hand out baby bottles on Mothers’ Day this year, but we invite you to collect change at home. At Fathers' Day, see what you have col-

lected and then consider sending a check for that amount to Womankind, 5350 Transportation

Blvd., Garfield Heights, OH 44125 or donate by credit card at their website:

www.womankindcleveland.org. Please write "Holy Rosary virtual baby bottle" on the memo

line of the check. Thank you in advance for your generosity again this year.

demic and have hope for the future. You can find stories of hope and faith at

Important Guidelines and Restrictions Relating to Mass Attendance

The Sunday Mass schedule remains the same: 5pm vigil on Saturday, 8:30 am, 11 am and 8pm on Sundays. A recording of Mass is available on the website at 8:30 a.m. each Sunday. Weekday Masses continue with a modified schedule. (Mon., Tues., Weds. & Fri. at 12:15pm) All Masses must comply with social distancing guidelines.

The Diocese of Cleveland has provided worship guidelines to observe as Catholics return to Mass. For a full overview visit their website at: dioceseofcleveland.org/forward-in-christ/overview

Before Attending Mass at Holy Rosary: Please remain at home and watch Mass online or on television if you are sick or if you are in an at-risk category or if someone in your household is in an at-risk category. The dispensation from attending Mass continues during this uncertain time. Please wash your hands before coming to church and sanitize your hands as needed before entering, when exiting, and after contact with your face. You are asked to WEAR A MASK or other face covering upon entering the church and during the celebration of Mass, except for the brief moment of receiving Holy Communion. No missals or hymnals will be available in the pews. If you have your own missal, you may bring it for personal use. Holy water fonts will remain empty. Be mindful of six feet distance and tape markings along the floor. Families with young children should note that the cry room will not be available for use.

Entering Church & During Mass: We ask everyone to enter via the FRONT DOORS on Mayfield Road to maintain social distance and orderly seating. If you require use of the elevator, please contact the Parish Office during the week or by 3pm on Saturday indicating

which Mass you will attend that weekend so that we can plan for your arrival and assist you. Please maintain social distance when entering and finding a seat. Families or Households may remain together and sit together but are to maintain six feet of distance between their

family and other families or individuals No offertory collection will be taken during Mass to reduce contact. Following Mass, we invite you to place your

offertory donation envelopes in the baskets in the front sanctuary area. Singing by the congregation during Mass is temporarily omitted to reduce aerosol spread. A cantor and/or instru-

mentalist may provide hymns for reflection and prayer. The sign of peace is omitted. Communion distribution will be in the form of the Host only. The full Body, Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ

is contained in the Consecrated Host. For the health and safety of all, reception of Holy Communion in the hand is strongly encouraged to avoid contact with an individual’s saliva. Receiving Holy Communion on the tongue is strongly discouraged for the duration of the pandemic and to safeguard the lives of others.

Two Communion lines will be formed in the outside aisles instead of the center aisle to maintain distance. Before approaching the Communion minister, the communicant should reverence the Blessed Sacrament with a simple bow and pull their mask below the chin before standing in front of the minister, then approach the minister with hands properly ready—with upward facing palms placed on top of each other to receive Communion in the hand. Please maintain six feet of space between households, and especially when returning to your pew via the cen-

ter aisle.

Exiting After Mass: Please be patient following Mass to exit in an organized manner and adhere to social distancing guidelines. Bulletins will be handed out by individuals wearing gloves and masks. Note that there should be no touching, handshakes or hugs exchanged for others’ protection. Pews, doors and other contact areas will be wiped down after each Mass. Please discard any trash as you leave— and as a courtesy to our cleaning volunteers, do not leave anything behind in the pews. Thank you. Coffee and donuts and other social gatherings continue to be suspended at this time.

Other Notes: The church will be open for prayer one hour before scheduled Masses and will be locked a half hour after Mass

ends. On Wednesday evenings the church will be open at 6:20pm for Adoration and Confession and will be promptly

locked at 7:30 pm.

If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Parish Office at (216) 421-2995.

GardenWalk: Little Italy Sunday, July 12th 2020

from 10am to 5pm GardenWalk: Little Italy will be held Sunday, July 12th 2020 from 10am to 5pm GardenWalk is a free, self-guided tour of gardens, urban farms, vineyards, orchards, and more in neighborhoods of Cleveland. After careful consideration, the GardenWalk Committee has decided to move forward with our event this year based on the governor’s current orders, the socially dis-tant nature of the event, and the enthusiasm of many Lit-tle Italy gardeners. Some of the differences for this year include: · There will be no printed guide available before-hand. · Garden locations and maps will be provided at one central location in the neighborhood. · Safety measures such as: social distancing, masks, no touching, etc. will be required. Visit www.GardenWalkCleveland.org for additional in-formation.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament

Eucharistic Adoration resumes each Wednesday night at Holy Rosary from 6:30pm to 7:30pm—

with the same social distancing guidelines recommended for Mass attendance.

The Sacrament of Penance is offered each Wednesday at this same time. Confession will be held in the Children’s

Room to ensure proper social distancing. We also ask that you wear a mask and have patience with these new chal-

lenges. If you are sick, please remain at home.

Holy Rosary Tuition Assistance 2020--2021 School Year

The Diocese of Cleveland encourages parishes who do not operate a Catholic School to provide assistance for chil-dren whose families are registered at that parish to attend a Catholic elementary school. This program subsidizes an amount sufficient to cover the difference between parish-ioner and non-parishioner tuition rates at area Catholic grade schools allowing families to remain active parishion-ers of their home parish. Any parish family with children enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th grade at a Catholic elementary school and who is not currently participating in the parish tuition assistance program is invited to contact Father Joe Previte at (216) 421-2995 for details. Parish families already participating in the program will receive a letter for the 2020-21 school year in the U.S. Mail in the coming weeks.
