Welcome Back to Church!
As you've seen in Fr Paul's weekly email we are excited to safely welcome you back to Church. We will continue to post the Sunday Mass on our website for the time being and will be happy to see your smile behind your mask when you are ready to return!
We have added Masses and changed our schedule to better accommodate all of our parish family and so that the Church can be sanitized between services. They are:
4:00 and 6:00 PM Saturdays
7:30, 9:30 and 11:30 AM Sundays
At this point we ask that you reserve a seat to attend Mass. Reservations are open Wednesdays through Friday at noon.

Seeing through the Eyes of God - a new weekly series
Scripture: 2 Kings 4:8-11; 14-16; Psalm 89; Romans 6:3-4, 8-11; Matthew 10:37-42
Prayer: See as God sees, with your heart. Open my heart O Lord. Help me to see as you do. Amen. Dear Lord Jesus, Open the eyes of my heart. Let me show hospitality to my family as you did by being forgiving, merciful, kind and gentle. Help me to do for them and share with them as I would guests and my friends. Thank you for giving me my family to care for. Amen.
Reflecting from the Hammock: How abundant is God’s love for you? SUPEREROGATION is a big word that means “above and beyond.” God’s love is above and beyond what we can imagine. It is incredible. When we say we love our friends or family to the moon and back, we are trying to relate that idea of “beyond measure.” Have you ever opened a bag of snacks and meant to pour a small amount and it just overflows and spills out everywhere? Use that as your guiding image. How can we share God’s incredible, immeasurable love for US, with others this week?
You can see much more about the Seeing through the Eyes of God series in the DOR Family Zone newsletter below!
Science, Common Sense, and the Sacred
This summer is a great time to learn and we have just the opportunity for you. Jonathan Lunine, Chair of the Astronomy Department at Cornell, vice-president of the Society of Catholic Scientists, and a member of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Ithaca will conduct a two-week short course titled “Science, Common Sense, and the Sacred: Understanding the Relationship of Science and Faith ” on July 13-16 and July 20-23.
This online course will challenge prevailing misconceptions about the relationship of science and religious faith. Science and faith are increasingly presented as an either/or choice, but they are not. In many ways, religion established a worldview that enabled modern science as we know it to exist. And, far from being an enemy of science, the Vatican supports science through the work of religious orders that run universities and are directly involved in scientific research.
The course will have eight one-hour online (Zoom) sessions running Monday through Thursday beginning July 13 from 7-8 p.m. Each session will be self-contained, with time for questions in each session. You can join for one or all sessions, as time permits.
This program is intended for Catholics from high school upward who want a deeper understanding of the relationship between science and our faith, or who want to be more effective communicators on this topic. No experience with science or theology beyond the basic tenets of our faith is required. A reservation is needed so that you can receive a Zoom invitation. To make a reservation, e-mail Ann Marie Eckert at ann.marie.eckert@dor.org before July 10.

CHARITY
Pier Frassati lived charity in his very being. He showed his love for God through his service to his neighbor, so much so that there is a group named after him with a driving notion of service.
