As we resume our public Masses at phase 1 of the COVID-19 pandemic we must observe certain guidelines. Therefore, in order to serve our community better and work with the best logistic possible, we would like for you to call the parish office 479-524-8526 if you are planning to participate in the weekend Masses. At this point we can only make use of 14 pews. Our dispensation for Sunday Mass is still being granted by our Bishop indefinitely. If we runout of our lim-ited space due to required 6 ’physical dis-tancing, you may try to attend some of our weekday Masses as an option. Please make sure to review some of the guidelines for attending Mass, such as wearing a mask to cover your mouth and nose, sanitizing your hands as you come in, avoid attendance if you do not feel well or have been exposed to someone who test-ed positive for COVID-19, etc. Upon your arrival our ushers will take you to your seat. So please follow their instructions. Thanks for your understanding during these chal-lenging times.
I would like to extend my appreciation to all of those who have made our livestream Masses possible and those who participated in them spiritually during the past challenging months since public worship was suspended tempo-rarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with the resumption of public Masses and still spaces available in our parish of St. Mary’s, we will no longer be livestreaming our weekly Masses. As Cath-olics, our ultimate goal is to sacramentally par-ticipate in any of our Eucharistic celebrations. Many of you have found spiritual consolation through our virtual Masses, and for some of you this was, and may still be, the only way to spiritually participate in Mass. In the meantime, we will continue to livestream our Sunday Masses (https://facebook.com/StMary-SiloamSprings-100137671646410/) until we are able to use our facilities to a full capacity. Meanwhile, all guidelines and health precautions are still in place, including social distancing and the use of face masks. We will continue to pray for all of you, especially those who have been affect-ed by the coronavirus. Father Salvador
Now that we are having Mass in the church, we are following all the safety precautions from Bishop Anthony Taylor. Phase I Restrictions: • Come to Mass wearing masks: All Partici-pants, including children over 10 years of age, must wear masks or other covering of their mouth and nose. • If you signed up to come to Come to church early: We can only provide seats for 25% of the church capacity. • Do not give the sign of peace by hand. • Holy Communion will be one specie only: the Body of Christ. • Holy Communion will not be distributed on the tongue. • There won’t be blessings for those who don’t receive Holy Communion: If you can’t receive Holy Communion, please do not go in the line to the altar. • Respect the 6ft. distance. • Please listen and respect the directions and guidelines from the ushers: The ushers have been trained by Father Salvador with all the requirements from the Diocese of Little Rock.
• If you are sick, or you don’t feel well, or you think that you were close to someone that was positive with COVID-19, please stay home.
The Sunday Mass obligation remains sus-pended indefinitely for all people, not only for those who cannot attend due to a parish’s crowd-reduction measures. Even so, all people remain obligated to “keep the Lord’s Day Holy”, which they can do in any of a large variety of ways, including the fol-lowing: • Sunday participation in Mass can be live streamed, or with TV-active participation, not just passive viewing. • Attending weekday Mass in lieu of Sun-day when Sunday Mass in unavailable. • Private prayer for an hour- which is the amount of time you would have spent at Mass, mediating on Scripture readings for the Sunday Mass, praying the Rosary, the Liturgy of the Hours, novena prayers, etc.

This weekend, we take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America! Many people in Latin America and the Caribbe-an do not have access to church pro-grams and ministries because of a rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers. Your generosity makes it possible for our brothers and sisters in Latin America and the Caribbe-an to share in the life of the Church and grow closer to Christ. Please be generous to the special collection! To learn more, please visit www.usccb.org/latin-america.

12th Sunday in Ordinary Time There are many things of which we can be afraid: being rebuked, rejection, anger, being challenged, having to defend ourselves, standing alone, insecurity, failure, and even death. For some, identifying and overcoming their fears is a daunting task. Regardless of how much they may want to break the cycle of fear, they find that they remain close friends with old and dysfunc-tional behavioral habits and norms. Maybe what they really fear is change. There are many who gravitate to the familiar and comfortable, and find safety and security in doing so, even if they remain mired in mediocrity. Human beings have to learn that there is life beyond the “what has always been” and that happiness and depth are possible when old structures and systems have to be left behind. Can you leave the near and dear, the comfortable and familiar, the safe and secure, and discover new opportunities? The shear thought of doing so can bring on feelings of apprehension, intense anger, resentment, defensiveness, reluctance, resistance, and even apathy. If we have to be responsible for making the change, cowardice can creep in. If someone else is to blame for making the change, any num-ber of possible negative reactions are possi-ble. In the end, only one thing is required and that is God. If I can rely on and deepen my relationship with God, especially in the Eucharist along with a community of believ-ers, then little else is of great concern. We have to figure out what is really important. It is not always what we think. The Gospel calls us to stretch our-selves and try new things, not to remain stuck and stagnant in familiar ways. We are asked to live life more deliberately, radical-ly, and intentionally. We are asked to leave the familiar behind and learn to live with changing, and often limiting, human structures. We cannot get too caught up in the physical, ideological, or structural systems we are used to. The Holy Spirit al-ways leads and guides us. If we trust this, we will find ourselves doing things we never thought we could do. Always seek the path to joy and love. They keep us from falling victim to our fears and from seeking the nos-
t a l g i c crutches we think we need to achieve a sense of wel l -being and happi-ness.

SCAM ALERTS Recently, another round of SCAM E-MAILS has gone out impersonating Fr. Salvador Marquez, Bishop Taylor & others Priests in our community. These scam emails use a fake “gmail” account and even include a picture of him. One of these is particularly insidious, since it references a priest being diagnosed with COVID-19 (which is false), in an attempt to scare the recipient into thinking that Fr. Salvador needs immediate financial help. It should go without saying that Fr. Salvador will NEVER contact anyone per-sonally asking for gift cards, money, or other financial assistance. Please do not respond to any such emails; delete them immediately.
