The Church of St. George ■ Long Lake, Minnesota 2 WELCOME to . . . THE CHURCH OF ST. GEORGE

Thank you to all our visitors, guests and extended family members for joining us this weekend. Call the office at (952) 473-1247 or email us at stgeorge@msn.com if you would like more information about the parish or to register.

RETURNING TO MASS 4pm Saturdays 9:15am Sundays, 5pm Sundays in Spanish 8:30am Tuesday and Thursdays Father Juettner and the parish staff understand that some parishioners are eager to celebrate our faith by attending Mass and that others prefer to worship at home for now. We all want to safely worship God, practice our faith, serve in ministries, and see one another again. The Archbishop wants us to remind you that the obligation to attend Mass continues to be suspended during the pandemic and that the Archdiocese encourages people over 65 and those with pre-existing health conditions to stay home and avoid public gatherings, including Mass. Stay home if you or household member is sick: Anyone who feels sick, has an unexplained cough, or has a fever must stay at home. Anyone who has tested positive for Covid-19, who has any symptoms of Covid-19 including loss of taste or smell, and anyone living with someone who has tested positive or is symptomatic, must quarantine for 14 days. All parishioners should continue to follow hygienic practices both at home and church by washing or sanitizing their hands often, avoiding touching their faces, and covering coughs and sneezes. Entering the church safely: Wait for the doors to the church to be propped open before entering. Please use bathrooms prior to coming to the church, wear a mask, maintain social distancing, and use hand sanitizer as you enter. Please follow ushers’ instructions: Seating will be assigned by ushers who will fill the pews from front to back. At the end of Mass, the ushers will dismiss one pew at a time, starting from the back and moving toward the front. No choir and no congregational singing: Because singing emits aerosol particles with more force and distance, only the one or two music ministry singers will sing. Communion will be distributed after Mass as you leave. Once the usher dismisses your row, walk to the communion station near your exit one person at a time, making sure to maintain social distancing with anyone not from your household. Use hand sanitizer, and put your hands under the plexiglass barrier so that the Eucharistic Minister drops the host into your hand.

LIMITED EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Wednesday, 12pm-8pm We are offering parishioners the opportunity to spend some time in the church engaged in Eucharistic Adoration or private prayer. All parishioners are welcome, even those who are not current Adorers. We are providing for appropriate social distancing and cleaning protocols that meet CDC guidelines. A head Adorer will be available to give instructions and answer questions. We recommend wearing a mask and using your restroom at home before coming to church to limit your points of contact while you are here. Everyone entering the church for prayer is asked to sign a one-time waiver that acknowledges that they accept risks associated with potential exposure to Covid-19. The waivers are available on the church website and at the back of church. Signed waivers can be emailed to stgeorge@msn.com or dropped off in the basket at the back of church. Wait to enter the church until the door is propped open for you. Be sure to maintain a 6 foot distance from others who do not belong to your household. Use the hand sanitizer provided at the entrance to the church. The pews are cordoned off to provide for social distancing. Please ask the head Adorer if you need assistance or have any questions. COMMUNION FOR THOSE NOT ATTENDING MASS If you would like to receive Communion but will not be attending Mass, please visit our website or call the parish office to sign up via Sign Up Genius for a 5 minute appointment to receive Communion at the back of church. Appointments begin at approximately 10:10am after Mass has ended. LITURGICAL MINISTERS The parish is in great need of volunteers to act as ushers, Eucharistic Ministers and lectors for upcoming Masses. Please visit the parish website to sign up via Sign Up Genius or call the office. We particularly need new volunteers —- training is available.

THE THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME • JUNE 28, 2020 3 ST. GEORGE WOMEN’S COUNCIL For info about the Women’s Council, please contact President Shannon Banks at 612-554-3274. The Women’s Council wants to remind you to call the elderly and homebound members of our parish during the pandemic to check on them and to say hello. These elderly church friends may be lonely and in need of some connec on with other parishioners. Please make it a priority to reach out to them to say hello and brighten their day!

SPIRITUAL COMMUNION What is Spiritual Communion? When a Catholic is unable to receive the Eucharist for one of several reasons —- breaking the one hour fast, being in a state of mortal sin, or homebound or unable to leave our home to attend Mass as in a time of pandemic —- the Church encourages us to make an act of “spiritual communion,” where we unite ourselves to God through prayer. It is a beautiful way to express to God our desire to be united with him when we are unable to complete that union in the reception of Holy Communion. Pray one of the following prayers as an Act of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEWS ************************** For information about the Knights of Columbus, please contact Ed Rundle at 952-473-9565. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Even though we cannot hold Knights of Columbus events at this time, our students are still learning and will be going to schools of higher learning this fall. As we have in the past, the KC's will be offering scholarships to colleges or trade schools. Due to the current uncertainties, we will determine the amount and number of scholarships by August 9th. Go to the St George website, download the form and follow the instructions provided. Good luck and God Bless! PARKING LOT RECONCILIATION In keeping with directives from the Archbishop, Father Juettner will continue to hear confessions, though he will be making adjustments that comply with distancing and safety guidelines put in place by the Archdiocese. During the shut down, the times for the Sacrament of Penance will be Saturdays from noon until 1:00 pm and Wednesday nights from 6:00pm to 7:00 pm in the parking lot. Please stay in your car and maintain a 6 ft distance for safety. If there is more than one person in a car, you may walk up to Father’s window, keeping a 6 ft distance, to confess privately. Cars that are lined up to wait should leave an appropriate distance so that all confessions are private.

June 28, 2020 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time CHRISTIAN HOSPITALITY Day in and day out, we are required to make judgment calls informed by tough, durable, serviceable Christian love. We do what we can do, and God takes notice. God is in charge of rewards, and a glass of water will do when that is what we have to offer with a glad and open heart. Paul gives us a clear theology for the missionary work we do whenever anybody is close at hand. He reminds us that our work, our ministry, is carried on in concert with Christ. We have been baptized into his death and life. In any given moment both life and death are there, a kind of play of shadow and light. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell where shadow leaves off and light begins. God will take care of that, too. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co
