MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR
Posted: 23 May 2020 12:05 p.m.

Dear Parishioners,

The most asked question posed to me recently has gone like this: “Once we are able to return to our churches for public Masses, how are we going to fit everyone in our churches if we can only use 50% of our seating capacity”? The answer, hard as it may ring in our ears is: “We won’t be able to fit everyone in our churches with a limit of only 50% seating capacity”. Imagine coming to the church doors to be told by that kind, caring and smiling usher that 50% seating capacity has been reached in church. What happens next? While the thought of being turned away at the church doors may be frustrating to many of us, and this could very well happen (be prepared for it), it might be a moment for us to remember the gift attending Mass has been in our lives. It has been a challenge not to attend and receive Holy Communion for two months, but this very real predicament now that we can return to our churches tops them all. It is a situation to be embraced, not avoided.
  Let’s consider what we might do if we can’t get into church at the Mass we regularly attend. Remember that the Ohio Catholic Bishops have extended their suspension of the Sunday Mass obligation until further notice. This was made public on May 8, 2020. While it may not be our preference to miss a Sunday Mass in person, the Church realizes that the circumstances prohibiting us from attending warrants a suspension. A major pandemic of a deadly virus is still in our midst and requires our serious attention if we value our lives and those of others. So what might we do considering that there is going to be limited space in our churches for our four normally scheduled Sunday Masses which, by the way, are well attended? Several options might include the following:
  First, our parishes have learned through this pandemic to use the gift of social media to bring the celebration of Mass into our homes online. We will continue, as long as it is needed, to offer a pre-recorded Mass from our own parish churches and post it on our parish website and parish Facebook page in the late evening hours on Saturdays so it will be up and ready for viewing on Sunday mornings. That might be a most proper and safe option for the elderly and for those whose health condition would be compromised by attending a public Mass at this time.
  Second, because the salvation of souls is primary to my priestly service and the current circumstance warrants it, I have decided to add an additional 6:00 PM Mass on Sundays beginning May 31 at St. Nicholas. We will follow a two-week cycle of scheduling this additional Sunday Mass between our parishes (two weeks at St. Nicholas, two weeks at Holy Family) beginning on June 7. The purpose of offering this additional Mass is to take the load off of our other Sunday Masses to accommodate a smaller number of congregants. That might be a really great option for families.
  Third, since the obligation to attend Sunday Mass has been suspended by the Ohio Bishops, perhaps a family or individuals not being able to attend Mass in person on Sunday would choose to attend one of our scheduled weekday Masses. Again, it would take the load off of the number of congregants attending the regularly scheduled Sunday Masses.
  Whatever we do, we must understand that it will not be “business as usual” in making re-entry in our spiritual home. Everyone will need to muster all the energy of Christian charity, patience and understanding, especially when the things we have known and done over time are not the same. Normalcy is forthcoming, but getting there will require a genuine attitude of kindness to one another. Keeping all of you in my daily prayers,

Monsignor Charles E. Singler
Pastor
