Dear Parish Family, The Lord makes most clear to the apostles in today’s Gos-pel that loving God above all else is most important. We have to take up our cross each day and follow Him, what-ever the cost. We probably find that difficult to do at times, although easy to acknowledge as true. Living the Christian life, however, is not an exercise in mental acuity. After all, the evil one can outsmart us at any moment and lead us astray. Rather, living the Christian life is about finding Christ and following Him. It is about humble submission to the will of God. That is what Jesus means when He says, “whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.”

Losing our lives for the sake of Christ means that we live for God; after all, God created us in His image and likeness we ultimately belong to God. As St. Paul reminds the Ro-mans and us, through our baptism we died with Christ to live with Him. Therefore, we have to think of ourselves as dead to sin and living for God in Christ. Of course, we know that we are not completely dead to sin as we all com-mit sin through human weakness. Yet, that should not cause us to despair. Realizing our sins, we humbly come before the Lord in the sacrament of penance and He for-gives us. That gets us on the right path for living for God. While that is a life-long struggle of continual conversion, we grow in living more and more for God throughout our lives.

Truly finding ourselves then means discovering how God has called us – our vocation. That takes discernment and prayer and, most importantly, trust in that God always calls us to what is best for us. Once we discover that call, there may be further discoveries of the gifts and talents God gives us to live out our particular vocation. Living that vo-cation is our Cross – our pathway to holiness and ultimately to heaven. We cannot view that Cross as something nega-tive. Rather, it reflects Jesus’ Cross – an offering in sacrifi-cial love for others. It is through that Cross that Jesus re-deemed the world and atoned for all our sins. When we take up our crosses and live for Christ, we participate in that sacrificial love.

That sacrificial love leads us to acts of kindness and charity toward others. That is how we love God above all else. That love manifests in doing for others. That mirrors the essence of God. God’s love within the Trinity pours forth and creates. Out of love, God created humanity ultimately to be with God forever in heaven. When we lost our way, God loved us so much that He became one of us in the per-son of Jesus to redeem us and show us the way to the Fa-ther.

So, let us find ourselves in Christ, embrace our cross each day, and follow Jesus in our own way of living out sacrifi-cial love for God and one another. Only then will we dis-cover true freedom. In Christ, Fr. Joe Previte

GardenWalk: Little Italy Sunday, July 12th 2020

from 10am to 5pm GardenWalk: Little Italy will be held Sunday, July 12, 2020 from 10am to 5pm GardenWalk is a free, self-guided tour of gardens, urban farms, vineyards, orchards, and more in neighborhoods of Cleveland. After careful consideration, the GardenWalk Committee has decided to move forward with our event this year based on the governor’s current orders, the socially dis-tant nature of the event, and the enthusiasm of many Lit-tle Italy gardeners. Some of the differences for this year include: There will be no printed guide available beforehand. Garden locations and maps will be provided at one

central location in the neighborhood. Safety measures such as: social distancing, masks, no

touching, etc. will be required. Visit www.GardenWalkCleveland.org for additional in-formation.

Holy Rosary Tuition Assistance 2020-2021 School Year

The Diocese of Cleveland encourages parishes who do not operate a Catholic School to provide assistance for chil-dren whose families are registered at that parish to attend a Catholic elementary school. This program subsidizes an amount sufficient to cover the difference between parish-ioner and non-parishioner tuition rates at area Catholic grade schools allowing families to remain active parishion-ers of their home parish. Any parish family with children enrolled in Kindergarten through 8th grade at a Catholic elementary school and who is not currently participating in the parish tuition assistance program is invited to contact Father Joe Previte at (216) 421-2995 for details. Parish families already participating in the program will receive a letter for the 2020-21 school year in the U.S. Mail in the coming weeks.

Important Guidelines Relating to Mass Attendance:

The Sunday Mass schedule remains the same: 5pm vigil on Saturday, 8:30 am, 11 am and 8pm on Sundays. A recording of Mass is available on the website at 8:30 a.m. each Sunday. Weekday Masses continue with a modified schedule. (Mon., Tues., Weds. & Fri. at 12:15pm) All Masses must comply with social distancing guidelines.

The Diocese of Cleveland has provided worship guidelines to observe as Catholics return to Mass. For a full overview visit their website at: dioceseofcleveland.org/forward-with-christ/overview

Before Attending Mass at Holy Rosary: Please remain at home and watch Mass online or on television if you are sick or if you are in an at-risk category or if someone in your household is in an at-risk category. The dispensation from attending Mass continues during this uncertain time. Please wash your hands before coming to church and sanitize your hands as needed before entering, when exiting, and after contact with your face. You are asked to WEAR A MASK or other face covering upon entering the church and during the celebration of Mass, except for the brief moment of receiving Holy Communion. No missals or hymnals will be available in the pews. If you have your own missal, you may bring it for personal use. Holy water fonts will remain empty. Be mindful of six feet distance and tape markings along the floor. Families with young children should note that the cry room will not be available for use.

Entering Church & During Mass: We ask everyone to enter via the FRONT DOORS on Mayfield Road to maintain social distance and orderly seating. The elevator entrance should only be used by those requiring use of the elevator. Please maintain social distance when entering and finding a seat. Families or households may sit together but should maintain six feet of distance between their family and other fami-

lies or individuals. No offertory collection will be taken during Mass to reduce contact. We invite you to place your offertory donation

envelopes in the baskets in the front sanctuary area before or after Mass. Singing by the congregation during Mass is temporarily omitted to reduce aerosol spread. A cantor will sing hymns

for reflection and prayer. The sign of peace is omitted. Communion distribution will be in the form of the Host only. The full Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus

Christ is contained in the Consecrated Host. For the health and safety of all, reception of Holy Communion in the hand is strongly encouraged to avoid contact with an individual’s saliva. Receiving Holy Communion on the tongue is strongly discouraged for the duration of the pandemic and to safeguard the lives of others.

For Sunday Masses—two Communion lines will be formed in the outside aisles instead of the center aisle to main-tain distance. At weekday Mass or for weekend Masses with fewer in attendance, note that one single-file line will be formed in the center aisle.

Before approaching the Communion minister, the communicant should reverence the Blessed Sacrament with a simple bow and pull their mask below the chin before standing in front of the minister, then approach the minister with hands properly ready—with upward facing palms placed on top of each other to receive Communion in the hand. Please maintain six feet of space between households, especially when returning to your pew via the center

aisle.

Exiting After Mass: Please be patient following Mass to exit in an organized manner and adhere to social distancing guidelines. Bulletins will be handed out by individuals wearing gloves and masks. Note that there should be no touching, handshakes or hugs exchanged for others’ protection. Pews, doors and other contact areas will be disinfected after each Mass. Please discard any trash as you leave— and as a courtesy to our cleaning volunteers, do not leave anything behind in the pews. Thank you. Coffee and donuts and other social gatherings continue to be suspended at this time.

Other Notes: The church will be open for prayer a half hour before scheduled Masses. On Wednesday evenings the church will be open at 6:20pm for Adoration and Confession and will be promptly

locked at 7:30 pm.

If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Parish Office at (216) 421-2995.
