Why Do Catholic Women Wear Veils at Mass? For over 2,000 years, Catholic women have worn some

kind of head covering in church. Though the particular reasons

for doing so have varied (for example, modesty in the time of

St. Paul), this practice has always focused on the transcend-

ence of the place—the church, the very dwelling of the Real

Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Having been given this

magnificent Gift by Jesus himself, every Catholic church holds

something not found anywhere else: the true, living presence

of our Bridegroom, hidden under the appearance of bread and

wine.

Contrary to what many believe, Vatican II never did away with this tradi-

tion. It remains a beautiful devotion whereby each woman, symbolizing the

Bride of Christ, the Church, wears a veil as a visible reminder of the perfect

submission of the Church to the loving rule of Christ.

“Woman, because she was created by being drawn from man’s side, is constantly

trying to return to him. She desires the original unity of one flesh and one bone. The

desire for unity between man and woman is a mirror of the relationship between

Christ and the soul. As woman longs for union with man in human relationships, she

is also drawn to unity with God. He calls her to become one with Him: to come under

His side and become flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone. This occurs during re-

ception of the Eucharist. The covering of the head with a veil symbolizes the reality of

women sheltered in the side of her Source and becoming one with Him. She becomes

covered and hidden in her Divine Spouse.” - St. John Chrysostom, Doctor of the

Church

40 Days for Life ~ September 25, 2020 ~

Would you be willing to pray for one hour?

40 Days for Life is a unique pro-life effort

that consists of 40 days of prayer, fasting and

peaceful vigil in front of abortion clinics. The

Grand Rapids campaign will be in front of

the Heritage Clinic at 320 E. Fulton, the only abortion

clinic still operating in our community. Dozens of area

churches have adopted a day of prayer. Our parish family

has chosen Sept 25 to fill in the time slots to pray to end abortion and close the Heritage abortion clinic in Grand

Rapids? Contact Lisa Potts 616-723-3213 or

[email protected] sign up or for more infor-

mation. We will need 2 prayer volunteers from 7 am till

7 pm throughout the day. This is a powerful and proven

effective way to close abortion centers and show the

Mother's that we are praying and thinking about them and

their babies. Please consider a hour of your time on Sept

25. Thank you for your commitment to LIFE! God

bless! www.40daysforlife.com/GrandRapids.

Wedding Anniversary Mass

Together with your families, the Diocese of

Grand Rapids honors the faithful witness to

your vocation of marriage and wishes to

celebrate with you. Bishop Walkowiak will

be celebrating the 10 a.m. Mass on Sunday, October 11

for the intentions of all couples in the diocese celebrating

milestone anniversaries this year. Because of the current

situation, we are asking couples to attend Mass at their

own parish that day or to participate from home by

watching the regular broadcast of the televised Mass on

FOX 17 or the livestream on the diocesan Facebook page.

If you would like your marriage to be included in the Mass

intention, please RSVP by calling your parish office.

LABOR DAY BLESSING

Bless, O God, all those who labor. Whether

they are compensated by paycheck or pride,

let them know their true worth in your eyes.

May all workers be gifted with a sense of service to the

common good and graced with the satisfaction of a job

well done. Thank you for those whose work provides

protection, comfort, healing, and relief from suffering and

stress. May all of our labors be for your goodness and

glory. Amen

COVID-19 Parish Office Hours & Sanctuary Hours

St Mary's Parish Office & St Michaels Parish Office have RE-OPENED for

visitors. We will have new guidelines in effect. Due to space and social distancing

guidelines only TWO people will be permitted in the office at a time. You must

answer a series of questions before entering. You will have your temperature taken

before entering. You must wear a mask while in the building. (these restrictions may

change at any time due to instructions from the diocese and the state of Michigan) If

you have any questions or concerns, please contact Fr Ayub 1.616.901.0974 or

[email protected].

We have returned to our Normal Mass Schedule

It will be imperative for all of us — pastors, parish staff, volunteers, and all the faithful

— to work together during these times. The pandemic is not over, and safety

precautions must be followed, in order to promote the continued health and safety of

everyone in our community. Just a reminder, all Catholics in the diocese are

dispensed of their Sunday obligation through October 18. Your cooperation is vital as we take these steps:

• Limit the number of people inside at a given time to no more than 25% of the

church's seating capacity.

• The community room and chapel will be used for overflow.

• We will not be using Hymnals.

• Social distancing MUST occur. Only people living in the same household may sit

together. All others should remain 6 feet away in every direction from another

individual who is not a member of their household. Please show patience with

parents with young children.

• There should be no physical contact between parishioners (e.g. parishioners

should not hold hands during the Our Father, (the invitation for the Sign of Peace

will be omitted).

• Masks or appropriate equivalent facial coverings MUST be worn by all participants

2 years and older (by those not performing a liturgical ministry).

• Place your offertory in the baskets placed in the entry areas. There will be no pass-

ing of the collection basket.

• Only the priest will distribute Holy Communion so there will be some slight

changes to receive communion. For the distribution of Holy Communion, the

faithful keep their face covering in place while approaching in procession. At an

identified position marked 6 feet from the minister, they should respond "Amen"

and remove their face covering before coming forward for Holy Communion.

Their face covering should be placed back on their face before proceeding to their

seat. Holy Communion must be received by hand. Gloves may not be worn.

• All are encouraged to attend weekday Mass to help with the social distancing re-

quirement.

• We urge anyone who is considered vulnerable due to age or underlying health

conditions to remain at home. If you are sick, or have been exposed to anyone

who is sick, please stay home.

As this is a situation we Catholics have never experienced before, please be patient as

we work through this extraordinary event together. Thank You
