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.

LIVESTREAM MASS

To the Parishioners of St. Paul,
 
            Thank God we are able to gather together again to hear the word of God and to receive Holy Communion.  The next few pages of this bulletin are the guidelines and
frequently asked questions sent to us from the archdiocese.  Please read them carefully.
 
           STARTING MONDAY, MAY 18, daily Mass will be at 8:00 a.m. (Monday through Saturday) and weekend Masses will be Saturday at 5:00 p.m. and Sunday Masses will be at 7:00 a.m., 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m and 1:00 p.m.  We have to change the times of Masses in order to clean and sanitize the church in between Masses.
 
            As we noted before, certainly it will not be like when we last were all together.  I will try to summarize how things will look here at St. Paul:

•             First of all, the archbishop has reminded us all that the obligation to attend Mass is still suspended.  We are reminded that those who are symptomatic or who have been exposed to another person with the virus within 14 days, are not permitted to enter church.  And ALL attendees are asked to check their temperature at home before coming to Mass.  Those who are at risk because of underlying health issues or who are over 60 are strongly encouraged, for their own health, to avoid the risk of attending Mass.  We will continue to live stream Mass every day at this link: http://bit.ly/stpfenton
•             We have restrictions as to how many people we can have in the church at one time.  Based on the formula we were given; we are able to have 180 people in church at one time.  We cannot exceed this number and so we may have to ask you to come back to another Mass, once we have reached our capacity.
•              We will have one entrance into the church (clearly marked) and we will have to practice social distancing as we enter into the church.  Six feet distance is required between anyone that is not from the same household.  We will all need to be wearing masks or facial coverings (gloves are optional).  Hand sanitizer will be available.  Masks are to be worn, except when seated in the pew, but when in line for Communion masks are to be worn.  There will be a basket for you to place your weekly Church offering as you enter the church.  As far as seating, some of the pews will be roped/blocked off.  Household members can sit closer together, but others will need to distance themselves six feet between themselves and other people.
•              We will be able to receive Holy Communion, but as we come forward to receive we will need to keep six feet between us.  There will be marking on the floor.  As you near receiving Holy Communion, please lower your mask to under your chin and then receive (only in your hand) and after placing the Host in your mouth, replace the mask over your mouth and nose.
•              When Mass has ended, we will all exit out two doors (that will be plainly labeled with signs).  The one side door that faces Gravois Road and the double doors in the vestibule labeled exit only.

            Again, we thank God that we can gather, but we continue to pray for an end to this virus and for all those who have been stricken with the virus and those who have died.
 
            God bless you all.  Thank you for your strong faith, your continuing to take care of others, and your continued financial support of our parish.
 
St. Paul, pray for us.
 
Msgr. Kevin Callahan
Fr. Scott Scheiderer

GOD’S WORDS

    Each day we are bombarded with thousands of words. From the moment our clock radios click on in the morning, until the last moment of the day when the television is turned off or someone bids us “good-night,” our life is filled with words. Some words that we hear bring news that leaves us feeling low. Some words lift our spirits. Many of the words we hear are trying to get us to buy something. Some words are hurtful. Today the Church focuses our attention on hearing the word of God. Are God’s words just more of the same—part of the endless stream of words that flow into our ears each day? The challenge today is to allow God’s word to inspire us in new ways so that our outlook and attitudes align themselves more closely with the heart and mind of Christ Jesus.
