LIVE MASSES IN HOLY SPIRIT PARISH�
�
Below are the conditions for attending the live Masses at both churches.�
�
Live Masses have resumed at 4 PM in both Kennebunk and Wells on Satur-
days, and in Kennebunk at 8 & 10 AM and Wells at 9 & 11 AM on Sundays.
There is an allowed maximum of 50 people per Mass. Weekday Masses have
also resumed in Wells at 8 AM and Kennebunk at 9 AM, again with a maxi-
mum of 50 people. Since the priest, lector, cantor, etc., are included in the
50, there is room for 41 additional parishioners at the weekend Masses
and approximately 46 at the weekday Masses.�
Due to the limit, no one will be able to attend every Mass. The Bishop has
suggested that a parishioner attend one or two weekend Masses a month and
perhaps a weekday Mass to attend during the other weeks. The 4 PM, 9 AM, & 11 AM weekend Masses
are being streamed live on our website, as well as the 8 AM weekday Masses. Only the 4 PM & 9 AM
weekend Masses are being recorded, links to which are available on our website for future viewing.
Bishop Deeley continues to exempt all from the obligation to attend weekend Mass. �
If one has not reserved a seat via the sign�up process, he/she will not be able to just show up at a
Mass and attend unless there are seats still available. �
THERE ARE DESIGNATED SEATS DUE TO DISTANCE REQUIRMENTS, AND ONE MUST SIT ONLY IN THOSE
SEATS. SINCE THOSE SEATS MUST BE SANITIZED AFTER EACH MASS AND BEFORE THE�NEXT, WE NEED
TO BE ASSURED THAT ONLY THE DISIGNATED SEATS WILL HAVE BEEN USED.� �
�
�
Please remember that elderly who are vulnerable or who have certain illnesses, or who are not self�
ambulatory, should probably not attend but, instead, watch a live�streamed Mass.�
�
All must wear a mask (brought with them) at all times in church and remain at least six feet from others.�
�
Anyone from outside of Maine who has not quarantined for 14 days in Maine prior to Mass may not
attend.�
�
When entering church, you are asked to go to your designated seat with mask on and remain at least six
feet from others. Those living in the same household may sit together. �
�
Communion will be in the form of the Host only and will be received in the hand. Please remain six feet
from one another in the Communion line.� Move from seat to the line by way of the back or middle cross-
over aisle of the church, always maintaining six feet apart and wearing a mask. There will be one single
line down the middle aisle to receive Communion from the priest only. After receiving Communion,
please do not return to your pew; rather, you are asked to exit the church and return to your vehicle where
you may continue to pray if you desire. Please take a bulletin as you exit.�
�
�
*PLEASE REFRAIN FROM RESTROOM USE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY*�
�
�
T��� � � � � � �� � !����� �!�
Bishop Deeley has stated the following: “Some of us will have to decide that it is best for our
health not to attend at all, but to continue to participate in this virtual way,” said the bishop.
“For this reason, I am continuing the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass
for the time being. It may also be the case that some of you may find it more convenient to at-
tend a daily Mass during the week rather than on Sunday when there could be less people pre-
sent. I will also encourage our pastors to continue these virtual Masses since, in any case, not
everyone will be able to attend each week because there simply will not be the capacity in our
churches.”�

The following comparison of May 2019 and
May 2020 Offertory Collections helps us see
the dramatic decline in our weekend offertory
budget for this year due to the COVID�19
pandemic. It also shows how generous and

during such a difficult time. �

The Most Holy Body
and Blood of Christ
It is no wonder that
followers of Christ are
called the Body of Christ. After all, sharing in the
same spiritual food and sacred meal, they become
what they eat and reveal the Divine Image. There is so
much power for healing in the community of believers.
Through the Eucharist, Christ becomes as present in
those who have partaken of his Body and Blood as he
has the elements themselves. The very presence of
God touches the depths of the human soul and visits a
part of us that no human being can ever hope to ex-
plore. We are God’s. The sacred Eucharistic meal is a
celebration of intimacy, the reunion of two loves in
constant search of and longing for the other.
The community of believers receives the power and
the presence to touch and heal in the name of the One
they have welcomed within. It is now within their
grasp to change the way life is lived and to more inten-
tionally put into practice the Beatitudes that the Divine
Guest has revealed. We are asked to be like Christ and
work to create a world of sufficiency, where the greed
of some no longer creates the want of others but where
all of God’s children can find a home and a place at
the table of life. The One who makes a home within
calls us to live a life that transforms. We are changed
ourselves and now become agents of change for oth-
ers. We are the Body of Christ. God is with us. We
have been nourished.
Sadly, many are afraid to try. We know what we are
called to do, but we struggle with feelings of doubt as
to whether God really is the Way, the Truth, and the
Life. Do our systems have to change? Is it possible
that we somehow missed the mark when we put all of
our social networks in place and established the busi-
ness of our lives? Perhaps we have to radically rethink
our approach and that can scare us. We might have to
give something up or change, and we don’t want to.
As long as want, injustice, division, prejudice, and
scarcity still exit, there is tremendous work for the
Body of Christ. � � � ©LPi �
W� K C�� >��� !��� � �
M��� ��K �� ������?
One of the statements of faith we make when we
pray the Nicene Creed and the Apostles Creed is
that we believe in “the communion of saints.” The
Catechism of the Catholic Church reminds us that
this communion (another word for community)
includes all the faithful on earth, the souls in Pur-
gatory, and the blessed women, men, and children
who are in heaven. This teaching is grounded in
our belief that, through Baptism, we are united
with Christ and to one another with bonds that are
stronger even than death.
And so from the time of the early Church, Chris-
tians have turned to other believers for prayers and
assistance, including those who have gone before
us, confident that God hears the prayers of all of
His children. While we ask the saints (and one an-
other) for prayers and support, we remember that
the saints join us in prayer. But it is God who
blesses and sanctifies us. When we think of Mary
and the saints in heaven, we have to remember
that we can turn to them for intercession and assis-
tance because they were faulted, limited human
beings, just like us. This means that they are able
to understand our struggles, doubts, fears, joys,
and hopes. But as we learn their stories, we can
also begin to recognize that they stand out in the
history of the Church because they persevered in
their commitment to follow Christ. Whether they
were ordained, vowed religious, martyrs, hus-
bands, wives, or even children, they show us that
holiness is possible. We can not only follow their
example but also benefit from their prayerful sup-
port.
Our devotion to the saints and gratitude for their
witness, prayers, and protection should also be an
inspiration for us, especially when we become
aware of the needs of others or when others ask us
to pray for them. We are called to share the bless-
ings we receive. This is also part of our own jour-
ney of growing in holiness.�� � �
