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 dramatic decline in our weekend offertory

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.�� � �
