Staying Connected │ Worship and Community Life

Should you chose to join us in person for our limited public Masses, please see the guidelines below to

maintain a safe worship environment for all:

Wear a Mask. For the protection of the members of our community, face coverings are REQUIRED for all attendees, including children over the age of two. We have been informed that members within our community have tested posi-tive for COVID-19, although had shown no symptoms. Wearing a mask is one of the most effective ways that we can avoid the spread of the virus.

Follow Signs. Please enter the church through either the north school entrance (door #2) or the south school entrance (door #9). Plan to arrive early enough so we can safely seat you in the church before Mass begins.

Signs will be posted as reminders to maintain safe distancing and sanitary guidelines.

You will be required to sanitize your hands before you enter the church. Use the hands free hand sanitizer stations or bring your own.

Practice Social Distancing. Please keep your household socially distanced at least 6 feet from other attendees as you enter and leave the building.

Contact Us. Please contact the parish office if you have any questions regarding our plans to come together safely. We must be vigilant in protecting those most vulnerable. An inherent risk of exposure to COVID exists anywhere people are present. We have undertaken precautionary cleaning, disinfecting, and implemented social distancing guide-lines to help reduce the risk of exposure.

However, the Church of St. Odilia cannot guarantee that visitors are 100% safe from exposure to COVID. We take our guidance from medical and health professionals and dare not put God to the test by assuming that faith will protect us in the absence of commonsense precautions. We know that the virus is still spreading and that mem-bers of our community have been impacted. Please con-tact the parish office if you have been diagnosed with CODIV-19 and have recently had close contact with oth-ers at St. Odilia.

If you choose to join us for Mass, please follow these guidelines to

safely receive the Sacrament.

Communion will be distributed after Mass. Ushers will invite parishioners for the reception of communion. (Communion is also available after 11am and 1pm livestream for those who are unable to attend Mass.)

You are invited to depart after receiving Communion through either the north church entrance (door #1) or the south church entrance (door #11).

Donation Bins — St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the largest lay Catholic charitable organization in the world. It’s Thrift Store in Minneapolis was damaged in the aftermath of the losses they incurred during the last few difficult months. They are asking for and need our help. As they rebuild, the com-munity continues to have basic critical needs. Donation bins have been relocated to the Courtyard. Please help fill our donation bins as you join us for Mass with the critically needed items below:

Diapers • Baby Formula • Baby Powder • Body Wash • Cotton Swabs • Deodorant • Facial Cleanser • Facial Tissue • Feminine Hygiene Products • Hair

Care Products • Hand Soap • Laundry Detergent • Lip Balm • Lip Gloss • Lotion • Lotion and Moisturizers • Nail Files • Paper Towels

Perfumes • Razors and Shaving Cream • Shampoo and Conditioner

Toilet Paper • Toothpaste and Toothbrushes • Wet Wipes

SERVICE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES! Along with all of your donations, we are asking the CONFIRMATION

STUDENTS to donate to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store when they come to St. Odilia to celebrate their Sacrament of Confirmation

Collections for Ralph Reeder and Franciscan Brothers of Peace Food Shelves

We are continuing our collection of food to replenish both the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf and the Franciscan Brothers of Peace Food Shelf in St. Paul. Please bring your food shelf donations to the bins in the Courtyard or the church as you join us for Mass. Thank you for all that you do for each other, for your families, for your community and for St. Odilia Church.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR FIRST EUCHARIST CANDIDATES! We are asking our First Eucharist families to bring food for the

Franciscan Brothers of Peace Food Shelf when they celebrate their Sacrament of First Communion at St. Odilia the weekend of July 26.

Growing Through Loss In this time of social distancing, wearing masks and isolating ourselves, when a loss occurs in our lives or the death of a loved one occurs it can change the way

we grieve. Our more common rituals, that can provide comfort and support are changed. Because of these unusual and difficult circumstances we are planning on holding the fall Growing Through Loss series at Incarnation Lutheran Church 4880 Hodgson Road, Shoreview. Due to a scheduling con-flict, the series will begin one week earlier on consecutive Thursday eve-nings, 6:45pm, from September 10 through October 15. We feel this grief support ministry is very much needed at this time. All entering the building must wear a mask and maintain the 6 feet apart physical distancing. If you are in need of this support please consider attending this Thursday evening series. To receive updated information visit www.growingthroughloss.org or call Deacon Jim at 651-415-3354. Blessings from the Bereavement Com-mittee and the Pastoral Care Council of St. Odilia.

Need Prayer? St. Odilia Prayer Line is Confidential

If for any reason, you wish to be prayed for, feel free to add your prayer request to our confidential Prayer Line. We have a dedicated group of parishioners who will hold you up in prayer. We only use first names.

Informacion General

26 de julio de 2020 17º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

El Evangelio nos sigue narrando parábolas sobre el Reino de Dios y de cómo actuar en él. El domingo pasado era sobre el trigo y la cizaña. Hoy la Liturgia nos presenta, el tesoro, la perla y la red. Encontrar el tesoro de la verdad y la justicia en nuestro tiempo es un trabajo de proce-so que requiere un compromiso con Dios, la familia, la comunidad y con la persona misma. Las parábolas son una catequesis que indican la forma para salir y encontrar lo que se busca. “El Reino de los Cielos es como un tesoro escondido en un campo. El hombre que lo descubre, lo vuelve a esconder: su alegría es tal, que va, ven-de todo lo que tiene y compra ese campo”. Y el Señor conti-núa narrando. “Un comerciante que busca perlas finas. Si llega a sus manos una perla de gran valor, se va, vende cuan-to tiene y la compra”. Y ahora, la de los peces. “Una red que se ha echado al mar y que recoge peces de todas clases. Cuando está llena, los pescadores la sacan a la orilla, se sien-tan, escogen los peces buenos, los echan en canastos y tiran los que no sirven”. (Mateo 13:44-48). Pidamos al Señor, en esta Eucaristía que nos dé la sabiduría de Salomón para encontrar los tesoros que nos lleven a vivir como hermanos y hermanas en estos tiempos de crisis que se están viviendo en diferentes lugares del mundo. Recorde-mos, que, el mejor tesoro es la amistad con Dios y quien la tiene, lo tiene todo. Salomón y San Pablo en las lecturas de hoy lo confirman. ©LPi

VIVIR LA LITURGIA Cuando un comerciante finalmen-te encuentra una perla invaluable y perfecta, vende todo lo que tie-ne y la compra. Hace esto porque esa perla le importa. Tiene signifi-cado y trae una profunda alegría como ninguna otra. ¿Qué es lo que vale y es importante para ti? Cuando lo que nos importa tiene algo que ver con el reino de Dios, Dios está encantado. Su exuberante felicidad es difícil de contener porque sabe que somos felices tropezando con esta hermosa sabiduría. Pídele a Dios que te ayude a des-cubrir esta perla de gran precio. Hay muchas cosas que compiten por nuestra atención to-dos los días. Pero no todas estas cosas son importantes. Centramos demasiada energía en las cosas superficiales sin importancia y descuidamos prestar atención a las cosas que realmente marcan la diferencia y tienen el mayor im-pacto. Las cosas se vuelven fácilmente más significativas que las personas, y nuestras agendas se vuelven más esen-ciales que las de Dios. No tenemos que vaciar nuestras cuentas bancarias y separarnos totalmente de todo lo que tenemos para servir a Dios. Pero, se nos pide que priorice-mos nuestras vidas y hagamos de lo que le importa a Dios lo que más nos importa a nosotros también. Al hacerlo, cuando nos levantemos cada día, ¡podremos ver lo que realmente necesita nuestra atención y abrazarlo con gran alegría! ©LPi

Este pasaje del Evangelio de Mateo tiene una relación muy íntima con la institución de la Eucaristía. El Señor Jesús pro-nuncia las mismas palabras de la Última Cena. “Tomó los cin-co panes y los dos pescados, levantó los ojos al cielo, partió los panes y los entregó a los discípulos. Y los discípulos los daban a la gente”. (Mateo 14:19). Cristo es el Pan del Cielo que se da en oblación para todos. No importa la raza ni el color de la piel, Él se compadece de la persona y se da en alimento. El Papa Francisco nos ayuda a comprender este hermoso mensaje del Evangelio de la primera multiplicación de los panes. Pero Jesús, tranquilamente respondió: “Denles us-tedes de comer”. ¡Todos comieron hasta saciarse y aun así sobró! En este acontecimiento podemos acoger tres men-sajes. El primero es la compasión. Frente a la multitud que lo sigue y- por así decir- no lo deja en paz, Jesús no actúa con irritación, no dice ‘esta gente me molesta’. Sino que siente compasión. El segundo mensaje es compartir. Pri-mero la compasión, lo que sentía Jesús y después el com-partir. El tercer mensaje: el prodigio de los panes preanun-cia la Eucaristía. Se ve en el gesto de Jesús que recitó la bendición antes de partir los panes y darlos a la multitud. En la Eucaristía Jesús no da un pan, sino el pan de la vida eterna se dona a Sí mismo, ofreciéndose al Padre por amor a nosotros. Pero nosotros, debemos ir a la Eucaristía con esos sentimientos de Jesús, la compasión. Y con ese deseo de Jesús, compartir. Compasión, compartir, Eucaristía, éste es el camino que Jesús nos indica en este Evangelio. ©LPi

VIVIR LA LITURGIA

¿Qué es lo que realmente deseas y tienes hambre de ello? Estamos más familiarizados con nuestra hambre y antojos físicos, ya que son bastante obvios. Lo que no siempre nos damos cuenta es que también tenemos hambre emocional y espiritual. Muchos se mueren de hambre de aceptación y amor. Muchos otros tienen hambre de un sentido de más profundos. Nuestras hambrunas pueden confundirse fácil-mente. Creemos que necesitamos una cosa, pero en reali-dad estamos siendo impulsados por otra. Necesitamos re-conocer y perseguir nuestras hambrunas espirituales. Si no lo hacemos, intentaremos satisfacer estas necesidades con cosas menores y no siempre más saludables. Dios, en últi-ma instancia a través de la Eucaristía, es el único que pue-de saciar nuestra sed más profunda. ¿Ya hemos descubier-to esto? © LPi

Stewardship

JULY 2020 – GREEN ENVELOPES: CHARITY FUND The July green envelope is designated to support the St. Odilia Charity Fund. This fund traditionally provides resources for parishioners and community members who require help due to job loss, homelessness, illness, or other personal crisis. This year the importance of this fund has taken on additional meaning due to the challenges of the Covid-19 Pandemic and the recent civil unrest. Many of you have responded to our call in recent months to support the Charity fund. Through recommendations from The Pastoral Care Council and the direction of Deacon Jim Saumweber, donations were made to the following ministry partners;

$2,000.00 Listening House of St. Paul - To fund floor replacement & new shower installation $2,000.00 St. Vincent DePaul Thrift Store – Help to rebuild after civil unrest $7,500.00 Neighbors in Need (MCRF) – Support individuals & families experiencing need as result of the current crises $3,000.00 Common Hope – Education & food for youth and adults in Guatemala $3,000.00 Feed My Starving Children – Package foods due to Pandemic $3,000.00 Open Arms – For delivery of medically-tailored meals to the critically ill $3,000.00 Second Harvest Heartland – Food for families in need due to the Pandemic

$9,033 was contributed for meal support to Dorothy Day, Catholic Charities, and Sharing and Caring Hands and an additional $3,427 was distributed to provide direct emergency assistance to individuals within our St. Odilia community. In addition to the support from our parishioners, we also received a $10,000 grant from the Minnesota Catholic Relief Fund that provided monetary support to 22 families who may be undocumented or otherwise under-served and in-need due to the recent crises. Your continued support of the Charity Fund allows St. Odilia to be able to respond to these unprecedented needs while continuing to respond to ongoing needs of the most vulnerable people in our community. Thank you for helping to feed and care for our neighbors.

June Green Envelope: Youth Ministry In June we collected $1630 to help support our youth ministry programs that help St. Odilia youth form and deepen their faith. THANK YOU from our youth! Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Did you misplace your green envelop for July? You can still contribute to support parishioners and community members who are struggling. Just write a check payable to St. Odilia with “CHARITY FUND” in the memo line. Thank you!!
