SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 26, 2020

A REFLECTION FROM FR. JAY…United We Stand

I have often spoke to you in homilies about how Jesus came to unite us. Sin caused divisions among the human race, Jesus died on the cross to overcome those divisions. In His saving plan He wants to unite people of every race, language, nation, ethnic background, and way of life into His Kingdom.It seems to me that a tactic the devil is using now to divide us is the issue of masks! There are people who feel strongly on both sides of the issue of whether or not to wear masks.There are people who argue that the promotion of masks is a device to control us, that they are ineffective in protecting us and could actually cause health problems, and that they are promoting fear. They make some persuasive arguments. There are others who argue convincingly that the wearing of masks would end this pandemic quickly and is essential to protect the safety of others.One thing we should all agree on is that there are good people on both sides of this issue. A little humility could go a long way in helping to overcome divisions. Whatever your opinion is, consider the possibility that your opinion might not be infallible truth. Give others the benefit of the doubt. Choose to treat with love people who have an opinion that is different than your own. I will try to do the same.We have people in our parish who have loved ones who have died with Covid-19. There are people in our parish who have family members who are seriously ill with Covid-19 right now. Praying for people in their struggles can unite us, fighting harshly over masks will divide us. Jesus wants us to be united. Let’s not give satan the opportunity to divide us, let’s focus our energy on praying for our nation and our parish that we will get through this pandemic as quickly as possible and be “one people under God with liberty and justice for all.”

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL COLLECTION: We thank you for your past generosity to our ministry. We will resume monthly collections on the weekend of July 25 and 26. Until social distancing is no longer necessary, a basket marked St. Vincent de Paul will be in the Gathering Space next to the regular church collection basket. Please feel free to use that basket as you donated when persons held baskets at the exits. If you are mailing in your offering, please mark any SVdP donations accordingly or use an SVdP envelope from your packet. Any checks for SVdP do still need to be written to St. Vincent de Paul rather than St. Helen Church. You can also use online giving designating St. Vincent de Paul. Please be assured our mission has continued in numerous ways during the pandemic. Thank you.

MORNING STAR BACK TO SCHOOL PROGRAM: St. Vincent de Paul annually tries to help Morningstar Friends Church. In conjunction with Job & Family Services, they run a Back to School program for kids of qualifying families. Morningstar provides clothing, haircuts, eye, and dental care. If you have school age kids clothing to donate, the needs are 4T to adult sizes and teenage boys blue jeans. If you have items to donate, please call Joann Green (564-7366) or Judy Prasek (564-7332). The deadline for donations is Friday, July 31st. Thank you.

BLOOD DRIVE: We will have a blood drive on Thursday, August 6, 2020 from 8:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. in the Parish Meeting Room. All Blood Donors will receive COVID-19 antibody testing that day as well. You must schedule an appointment by going online at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/find-drive or call 1-800-733-2767. The blood drives help the school purchase needed supplies if we meet our goals. We also need a few volunteers to help with registration. If you can help, please contact Hank Milnark at 440-543-9502.

CALL TO ACTION FROM THE UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS: COVID-19 has contributed to the permanent closure of 130 Catholic schools across 23 states. Additionally, internal surveys show ten percent of Catholic schools are now uncertain if they can open their doors this fall. That means as many as 500 or more Catholic schools could be in jeopardy.Please join the USCCB in asking Congress to include additional relief for Catholic schools in the next emergency relief package. Public schools are asking for $300 billion dollars, and it is important to make sure that hard-hit Catholic school families also receive emergency relief. Please take a moment to contact your Members of Congress to ask for emergency aid to Catholic schools and hard-hit families in the next COVID-19 relief package. We are asking Congress for direct funding to families for education expenses, including Catholic school tuition.We encourage you to add your own personal story about your Catholic school experience in the message as well.Catholic schools urgently need help in this time of uncertainty. Please contact Dave Joyce, Sherrod Brown, and Rob Portman, your members of Congress, today! https://www.votervoice.net/USCCB/campaigns/75795/respond

FIRST SATURDAY DEVOTION: Our Blessed Mother explained to Sister Lucia, one of the Fatima visionaries, that she would like prayers to make reparation on the First Saturday of the month for FIVE successive months. Join us on August 1st to celebrate First Saturday by saying the Rosary after Mass. To those who faithfully follow Our Lady’s requests for the Five First Saturdays, she has made a wonderful promise which she, as Mediatrix of All Graces, will certainly fulfill: “I promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation.” This means that our Blessed Mother will be present at the hour of death with the actual grace of final perseverance, (which after the gift/grace of Faith), is the most important grace.

ST. HELEN CATHOLIC CHURCH NEWBURY, OHIO

PRAYER FOR YOUR MARRIAGE:Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another’s weaknesses and grow from each other’s strengths. Help us to forgive one another’s failings and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of self.May the love that brought us together grow and mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to You through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen

MEN’S MASS: The men’s July Mass will be on Wednesday July 29th at 7:00 p.m. celebrated by Fr. Bednar and hosted by Rick Cherney at 9943 Woodruff Lane, Newbury.

A NOTE OF APPRECIATION FROM THE ABRUZZINO FAMILY: I would like to thank Joyce, Marilyn and Debbie for taking communion and visiting my Mom, Virginia Abruzzino; Jack, Walter and Chris for the music; and especially Fr. Jay for visitations and the wonderful Mass. A special thank you to Luke and Billy Reed. Dan Abruzzino

SAVE THE DATE: CLASSICAL MUSIC COMESTO ST. HELEN FOR PROJECT HOPE!On August 16 at 2:00 p.m. in the Church, musicians from the Cleveland Orchestra, the Cleveland Institute of Music and the Cloutier Trio (Maude, Mara and Marianne) will perform various pieces of classical music for a free-will offering for Project Hope for the Homeless. Music will come from Brahms, Handel, Schubert, Rachmaninoff, Mozart (featuring the Cleveland Orchestra’s Stanley Konopka on viola with our own Maude Cloutier on violin) in addition to other pieces. CIM’s Elizabeth DeMio returns to play piano. Award-winning musicians Jamie Park will play double bass, and Daniel Colaner, who has performed at Carnegie Hall, will play piano and organ. First-come, first-served. The concert will take approximately one hour. Social distancing and the usual COVID-19 protocols will be observed.

ANGEL FUND: As we prepare for the next school year it’s important to remember that we do not want to run a school that only the wealthy can attend. We want a Catholic education to be available for all of the young people in our parish. Over the years there have been many St Helen families who could never have been able to give their children a Catholic education if it had not been for generous parishioners who have donated to our Angel fund. Our tuition for one child during the 2020-2021 school year is $4,488; for two children is $8,700; and for three or more children is $12,300. Could you help a child or an entire family attend St Helen School? Could you help offset some of the tuition for a child or a family? To donate to the Angel fund please make your check out to St Helen Church and put “angel fund” in the memo line. Or you can go to online giving at https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/2967/DirectDonate/42608. Thank you for helping our families give their children a Catholic education.

SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME JULY 26, 2020

IT’S A MATTER OF LIFE… “A process of self-destruction is always reversible. But time is short. For several years, the decline has been accelerating. All civilizations that ignore the eminent dignity of the human person have vanished. The rejection of life, the murder of pre-born children, the murder of the handicapped and the elderly, the demolition of the family and of moral and spiritual values: all this was the first act in the tragedy of the suicide of an entire people.“I have seen fine religious communities that are faithful and fervent. They remind us of the Christians who, in the twilight years of the Roman Empire, kept watch over the flickering flame of civilization. I want to encourage them. I want to tell them: your mission is not to save a dying world. No civilization has the promises of eternal life. Your mission is to live out with fidelity and without compromise the faith you received from Christ. In that way, even without realizing it, you will save the heritage of many centuries of faith. Do not be afraid because of your small numbers! It is not a matter of winning elections or influencing opinions. It is a matter of living the Gospel. Faith is a fire. A person himself must be on fire in order to transmit it. Watch over this sacred fire!”– Robert Cardinal Sarah

PARISH COUNCIL: If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of these Parish Council members. See the website for email contact information.

CHAIRPERSON: Jeff CicchellaMEMBERS: Clare O’Brien, Linda Koeth, Francine Dome,

DAILY & WEEKEND MASS ONLINE AT https://www.sthelen.com/daily-mass-recordings.html Even though St. Helen is now open, we will continue to record daily and weekend Masses and upload them on our website.

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION: When we cannot receive Holy Eucharist in person - “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.”

SCHOOL NEWS

WHAT’S BUZZING AT SCHOOL: We have been planning and preparing for the upcoming school year. Please continue to keep our students and staff in your prayers as we continue to keep you in ours. Take care and God bless.

RE-REGISTRATION FOR 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR: Registration for the 2020-2021 school year at St. Helen School is now open. If you need another copy of the re-registration form or if you are looking to register your child to our school for the first time, please contact the school office at 440-564-7125 or email [email protected] for more information or visit our website at www.st-helen-school.com. Please email Mrs. Boksansky at [email protected] for more information about Preschool.

SUMMER OFFICE HOURS: Our school office will be open throughout the coming week from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.. If you have a question or need assistance, please email Mrs. Romagni ([email protected]) or Mr. Gannon ([email protected]) or call us at 440-564-7125.

ONLINE GIVING OPTION: The safest way for you to continue to offer your financial support is through online giving. Online Giving can be accessed either on our St. Helen’s app, through the St. Helen’s webpage, or by going directly to this link: https://www.osvonlinegiving.com/2967.These are all secure and easy to use digital ways to donate. This convenient system does not require you to contact your bank to sign up or to make changes. You can use any of your checking, savings or credit card accounts and the funds will be automatically transferred to our parish bank account. This system is more convenient for the parish than electronic checks from your bank. Additionally, it is convenient for you because you can make changes at any time. Online Giving also helps you maintain your giving throughout the year. This will help the parish with cash flow during this unsettled time. If you are able to continue your financial support, we encourage you to use the Online Giving Option. We are truly blessed by your abundant generosity.

MAIL IN OFFERTORY DONATION: If you prefer to mail in your offertory rather than give online, you are welcome to address the envelope to St. Helen Church at 12060 Kinsman Road, Newbury, OH 44065.
