SISTERS’ CORNER...

During these times, there has been an urgent need

to .nd the balance in meeting the spiritual needs

and the physical well being of the faithful. One of

the greatest concerns of the Church is offering

the Sacraments to the faithful. Another great

concern is to take care of the people’s health.

A few weeks ago, on the Sunday of the Good

Shepherd, our parish, with deep joy, .nally

began offering Holy Communion to OLMC’s

parishioners with the necessary precautions to

keep parishioners safe.

For many, having been unable to receive the Lord

sacramentally for more than a month became an

occasion to grow in the realization of just how the

Eucharist is one of the greatest gifts of our faith!

It’s amazing how this unusual context of the pan-

demic could offer us a great opportunity to grow

in the many ways we couldn't even imagine. It was

deeply moving to see the reverence and the deep

joy shown by many as they approached to receive

Holy Communion. Parishioners showed so much

gratitude for .nally receiving Jesus again through

this sacrament after several weeks. This must

have touched the heart of our Good Shepherd who

wants nothing but to give Himself to us!

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Dear OLMC Community,

This week was bittersweet. We had our last Mass,

an unconventional book return and our last “day of

school”. It was so great to see many of you, but

also a reminder about how much we miss

everyone! Mount Carmel is more than a church and

a school- it is a family. I can’t thank everyone in the

community enough for all of the work they put in to

make the best of a very di�cult time. Time and

again, I was amazed by acts, large and small, that

teachers, students and parents did for each other.

Thank you for being a part of OLMC and making it

such a special place. I hope you have a great

summer, and I truly can’t wait to see you in August.

May God bless you,

Dr. Kelly Shewbridge, Principal

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel School

A NOTE FROM FATHER

24 MAY 2020

Dear Friends,

A question that has been rolling around in my head is why did the

Public Health authorities so quickly go to DEFCON Level 1 with

this novel coronavirus but not with the previous SARS, MERS,

H1N1? What did they know or what did they suspect about COVID-

19 that made Health officials insist on such drastic actions? My guess

is that they either knew or suspected this virus may have been bioen-

gineered and somehow escaped a laboratory, making it a potential

super-virus.

Maybe someday we will know the origins of the virus but now after

several months of the virus spreading worldwide, we do know some

things. This virus is definitely very contagious but a lot less lethal

than originally feared. Based on all the data collected worldwide at

this point, about 99% of those infected do recover. One thing fatali-

ties have in common is that they all reported underlying health issues.

Even though the highest rates of death were among those in Nursing

facilities, it was not necessarily because of age but rather preexisting

conditions. I guess you wouldn't be in a Nursing Home if you didn't

have some health condition that put you there.

Knowing this can help us protect those who are high risk. But for

the rest of us, well, chances are that many of us will still get sick from

the virus (and recover). This is where it is really important to keep

our thinking straight. Remember the “15 days to Flatten the

Curve” (which turned into 50 something days) was all about slowing

the spread of the virus, so that our Health care systems did not get

overwhelmed. It was never about stopping the virus. Flattening the

Curve means that the infections are just spread out over a longer

span of time. So, you can think of this as a really bad and really long

Cold and Flu season. Just as with Cold and Flu we all try to avoid

getting them, with this virus we should take the same precautions

and do our best to avoid it. This means those who are sick with the

virus need to quarantine until they are well and those exposed to

someone who has the virus need to get tested quickly.

Of the many unknowns about this virus is how long will it last? The

original SARS virus didn't last all that long and then disappeared

more or less. Will this virus just go away or will it be a seasonal thing

much like the Flu? If you develop immunity, can you still get re-

infected? Will immunity be like that of the measles or mumps, one

and done? Or will it be more like the Flu, where you can get it again?

The same is true with a vaccine. Will it be more like the childhood

vaccines we get, which have pretty much wiped out diseases like

mumps, measles, rubella, small pox or more like the seasonal Flu

vaccines which provide some level of immunity but not complete

immunity?

So, at this point there is a lot we do know and a lot we do not know.

But we can make intelligent, informed decisions on what we do

know so that we can get back to something approaching normal life.

That’s why it is important to remember that safe does not mean risk-

free. We can do our best to keep ourselves safe and keep our envi-

ronments clean. All that mitigates the risk but does not eliminate it.

The most important part of this strategy is for each of us to pay at-

tention to our own health, take the necessary precautions and if you

believe you are infected or you know you were exposed to take your-

self out of circulation until tested.

With that in mind, this weekend we begin our Phased Reopening of

Parish Life. For the next four weekends there will be 3 Ways to Par-

ticipate in Sunday Mass. Remember the obligation to attend Sun-

day Mass is still suspended in the Diocese of Phoenix so if you are

not comfortable attending in person Masses you can participate via

Live Stream on Saturday Evening at 5pm and if you chose you can

come afterwards to the Parking Lot to receive Holy Communion.

For those who wish to participate in-person at Sunday Mass you can

attend Mass on Sunday Morning at 7am, 9am, 11am, outdoors on the

basketball courts. Since this is held outdoors, the requirements for

physical distancing are not as strict as the virus does not transmit

easily outdoors and in temperatures 77F and higher. Not a problem

for us here in central AZ!

You can also attend in-person Mass on Saturday evening in the

Church (which also will be livestreamed) but with a capacity limita-

tion of 150 people. We are reserving the Saturday 5pm Vigil in-

person attendance to those over 60yrs and those who are in high-risk

categories.

You can also attend in-person Mass on Sunday at 5pm. Again, with a

capacity limitation of 150 people. If you are person 151 you will not

be admitted into the Church. This is so we can maintain the current

physical distancing expectations. And please know we do our best

each day to clean and sanitize our facilities. But even with the more

frequent cleaning our buildings are not sterile.

Face-coverings are encouraged but not required. But if you do wear

one please wear it correctly, namely making sure it covers your nose

and mouth at the same time. Also refrain from constantly touching

your face while wearing a face covering. Children 2 yrs. and younger

should not wear face-coverings as it poses a suffocation risk.

Our Reopening is much like sticking your toe in the water, we are

not jumping right in! These next four weeks may be a little awkward

or slow and just as soon as we get acclimated, we might be moving

into the next Phase!

Love, Fr. John B.

PS A good friend works for the AZ Attorney General’s Fraud Detec-

tion Unit and they have been working 12-hour shifts to combat the

fraud that is going on during this Pandemic. Be careful who you do-

nate to and if you are unsure you can contact the AZ AG’s office.

Two safe ways to donate are to our FullCircle Program, as most of

our Spring Fundraising events have had to

be cancelled, as well as our Coffee Shop

sales and to our St. Vincent de Paul Confer-

ence. As we move through the summer, we

are expecting an increase in requests for

assistance as people’s savings and reserves

start to run out.
