Sunday: Mass is Live-Streamed
October 11, 2020 - 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time
Our 7:00PM Mass THIS Sunday will be live streamed from Linehan Chapel!
Greetings Everyone,
Over the next two weeks, while Nazareth is taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of all of us on campus, participation in our Sunday 7:00PM Mass will be limited to live stream only. While we may not be able to gather in the same physical space, our faith reminds us of the universal spiritual communion that we share, uniting us with one another and God in this time of need. Please find the link to the live feed below.
I would like to invite each of you to reflect on what our Catholic faith asks us during times like these. Caholic Social Teaching clearly states that we are alway called to care for and orient our actions and decisions for the benefit of the common good. We have been asked to make changes and sacrifices over these next few weeks. While these can be bothersome and inconvenient to us as individuals, they are necessary, right and just for the care of our common campus community. I am asking you to keep the perspective of our faith in-mind, as we process this together as a community.
Also, please keep in prayer the fellow members of our campus community who have been diagnosed with COVID-19. May we also not lose sight of those who are lacking proper health care and whose lives are threatened due to poverty, prejudice and violence both locally and throughout the world due to this pandemic.
If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to email me. Meanwhile, please be good to yourself and know we are all in this together!
Pax et Bonum,
~ Jamie
PS: We will NOT be celebrating our Wednesday 12:30PM Mass over these next few weeks.
Our Sunday 7:00PM Masses will be able to be viewed by everyone via a live feed at https://cloud.ensemblevideo.com/Watch/a6E7Pgr3
The Busy Person’s (Student) Retreat! Fall 2020!
The Busy Person’s (Student) Retreat was created by the late Cardinal Joseph Bernadin of Chicago. Essentially it is designed for the busy college student or young adult who is unable to attend or afford a weekend retreat. It is a unique opportunity for the individual to deepen their relationship with God in a way that fits into their busy lives and schedules.
With the Covid 19 world we now live in, the retreat is now Virtual and works like this:
Interested students will sign up to participate for the retreat through the Nazareth College Catholic Community. I will assign each student signed up with a Spiritual Guide and together they will set up a schedule to meet for four sessions over a period of time, until you leave for the Thanksgiving/Christmas break.
All of the participants will receive a retreat booklet on-line. Throughout the retreat, the student and their Sister Spiritual Guide will each devote themselves to a half an hour of personal prayer and reflection using the retreat booklet and then they will meet for a half an hour, probably on ZOOM or whatever app that works best for them, for four different times.
The Spiritual Guides will be Sisters of St. Joseph, who have experience in being a Spiritual Guide for a Busy Person Retreat, and who will volunteer their time to offer this retreat opportunity for a “Busy” college student like you.
In peace & gratefulness,
Sr. Donna

Teresa Delgado, Ph.D., is director of the peace and justice studies program and professor and chairperson of the religious studies department at Iona College. Deeply influenced by the trailblazing womanist theologian, Delores S. Williams, Delgado's scholarship is driven by an ethical vision that prioritizes justice for racially, ethnically, and sexually marginalized persons.
This vision shapes her work whether mentoring doctoral students of color in theology and religion or lecturing across the U.S. That her commitment to social justice activism is propelled by an urgency to seek social transformation now – and not tomorrow — is made clear in her book, A Puerto Rican Decolonial Theology: Prophesy Freedom (2017) and her 2019 essay, "For the Beauty of the World: The Moral Imaginary of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s World House."
