SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SAINT AMELIA

Dear St. Amelia Parish Family,
On this Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time we hear a series of parables of Jesus. Jesus offers
his disciples images of buried treasure, fine pearls and rich varieties of fish as a means of teaching
about the kingdom of Heaven. If Jesus were to appear to you in a dream tonight saying, “Ask some-
thing of me and I will give it to you,” for what would you ask? Peace? Happiness? Security? Good
Health? A New Lexus? A house in the country? Surely, we could go on and on listing our various
fantasies, but I wonder if any of us would ask for an understanding heart or the gift of wisdom as
Solomon did. How much value would any of us place on an understanding heart in the world? His
wish defies human reason, but defines his faith in God. How would you respond to this offer?
Consider some of the great examples of faith in these saints: Katharine Drexel founded the Sis-
ters of the Blessed Sacrament in 1891. She shocked elitist society by taking a vow of poverty and us-
ing all of her $20 million inheritance in ministry to the poor Black and American Indians. Francis of
Assisi disowned his family’s wealth and embraced a life of humility and poverty. Augustine left be-
hind his pursuit of happiness in the things of this world and embraced God’s mercy and the riches of
the kingdom of God. Consider his word - “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
Like the man in the Gospel who, when finding a buried treasure, went and sold all he had to buy
that plot of ground, you and I have some very concrete ideas about what we regard as treasure for
ourselves. We invest time, energy and concern in what we treasure, no matter what our age. Treasure
is the special bear or fuzzy dog that children cuddle up with each night. Treasure is that first car
which gets polished and washed almost daily. Treasure is looking on your firstborn who lies sleeping
peacefully in your arms, but an understanding heart, is that a treasure?
In the past weeks, the Gospel parables we have been reading center on the kingdom and are
unique to St Matthew’s gospel. They show us the radical commitment required by the kingdom. The
man who found the buried treasure had to make risky investments. First, he had to find the treasure,
and we all know how elusive a treasure can be. Then, he had to sell all that he had without first
having taken the treasure to an appraiser to see its true worth. Finally, the man had to purchase the
field without a guarantee that the treasure was still there. Not many of us would consider that wise,
but what is wise for Christians today? Where is it appropriate for us to channel our time, energy,
money and concern? There are no simple answers, as today’s scriptures show us. The best we can do
is to have faith in God and to pray to God for an understanding heart, and hope that God will give us
the Wisdom of Solomon, as well. What will our response be when Jesus says, “Ask anything of me and
I will give it to you.”
In Christ’s Love and Peace,
Father Sibby

Supreme Court overturns Louisiana Pro-Life
Law: On June 29th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5:4
to strike down Louisiana’s Unsafe Abortion Protection
Act. The act required abortion clinics to be held to the
same standards as other surgical clinics and that the
abortion doctors have hospital admitting privileges. It
was authored by Pro-Life Democratic Rep. Katrina
Jackson and passed with bipartisan support in the
state legislature. Despite this, abortion advocates
strongly opposed it, fearing that these standards
would force the closure of two of the state’s three
abortion clinics and prevent five of the six abortion-
ists from practicing.
Archbishop Joseph F. Naumann, Chairman of the
U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee for
Pro-Life Activities issued this statement: “Abortion vio-
lently ends the life of a child, and often severely
harms women. Abortion becomes even more destruc-
tive when basic health and safety standards ignored,
and profit margins are prioritized over women’s lives.
As Catholics, we condemn abortion as a grave injus-
tice that denies the fundamental human right to life.
Yet even as we seek to end the brutality of legalized
abortion, we still believe that the women who seek it
should not be further harmed and abused by a cal-
lous, profit-driven industry.”
“The Court’s failure to recognize the legitimacy of
laws prioritizing women’s health and safety over abor-
tion business interests continues a cruel precedent.
As we grieve this decision and the pregnant women
who will be harmed by it, we continue to pray and
fight for justice for mothers and children.
“We will not rest until the day when the Supreme
Court corrects the grave injustice of Roe and Casey
and recognizes the Constitutional right to life for un-
born human beings. And we continue to ask all people
of faith to pray for women seeking abortion, often un-
der enormous pressure, that they will find alternatives
that truly value them and the lives of their children.”
-usccb.org
WHERE IS OUR “PEARL OF GREAT PRICE?”
For the past several weeks, our gospel readings
have dealt with Jesus’ description of the Kingdom of
Heaven, and what we need to do to reach it. Matthew
concludes this portion of Jesus’ teaching today with
three more parables, two of which deal with the
promise of the Kingdom, and the final one, with the
judgment that will bring.
The first two involve people who are searching for
something of great value – just as we ourselves are
embarked on a lifelong search for Jesus’ heavenly
kingdom. Jesus says such persons, when they find
what they are looking for, will go to extreme lengths
to lock it in, to make sure they keep it. The finder of
the buried treasure and the merchant have not only
had the commitment to mount a search; when they
found their treasure, they realized what they had and
acted to hold on to it.
What about us? We often get so involved in other
things that we lose sight of what is of most value to
us – the things of God. We get lost in the distractions
of the world; we get led down by-ways we never in-
tended. We sometimes forget that Jesus is always
there, beckoning to us. The treasure of great price is
right in front of us. All we really need to do is say
“yes” to God’s offer of love.
When we find it, we need to take steps to keep
what we were searching for – the presence of God in
our lives.
Are we looking for God, for our “pearl of great
price,” in the right places? Are we taking the right
steps to keep what we have found? Just something to
think about.
We are pleased to welcome to St. Amelia Parish
this weekend, Rev. Paul Ladda who will speak at all
the Masses addressing the needs of the missions in
Shinyanga, Tanzania. The Diocese of Shinyanga is
located in the northwest part of Tanzania. Their
mission is to preach the good news to all and to
foster care for orphans and children of families in
need, provide education to adolescent girls, assis-
tance to widowed and single mothers, provide
health care and medication for the sick and develop
educational programs for catechists, seminarians
and priests. A second collection will be taken up
today for this mission. May God Bless you.

St. Amelia Church is OPEN!!
It is with great joy that we let you know that our parish is open for daily and weekend Masses! It is truly a
blessing to be able to gather again around the Altar!
While Bishop Scharfenberger has stated that churches can now be open, the dispensation continues for
those who are not yet ready or able to attend in person, therefore, our livestream feed of all of our Masses will
continue.
We are welcoming parishioners back in accord with safe distancing protocols and New York State guidelines,
therefore, our committee has prepared the church by roping off every other pew for distancing measures; plac-
ing arrow markings on the carpet for social distancing and communion procedures; and installing hand sanitiz-
ers around the church. Staff and volunteers will be cleaning the church pews and wiping down the doorways and
restrooms between Masses.
It is fortunate that the size of our church should allow us to accommodate parishioners safely. The balcony
will be open for seating and the school gymnasium will be available for additional seating if needed.
How to prepare ahead of time:
�� Be sure you have a mask; and if possible a small size hand sanitizer for personal use.
�� (Diocesan guidelines indicate that any child over the age of two wear a mask.)
�� If you are sick or have any symptoms of the Coronavirus, please stay home. Thank you!
As you arrive for Mass:
1. Please wear your mask (as mandated by the governor’s executive order).
2. Practice social distancing as you enter or use the restrooms.
3. When you enter the church, our ushers will welcome you, guide you where to sit; and will assist you with our
new communion procedures.
During Mass:
1. There will be limited singing due to wearing masks.
2. During the Our Father, please do not hold hands with anyone outside of your household.
3. During the Sign of Peace, simply do a slight bow or nod to acknowledge/extend peace to others around you.
4. When it is time to receive Holy Communion, ushers will assist you to the communion line while maintain-
ing 6 feet of distancing. You are asked to keep your mask on, extend your ungloved hands, one on top of
the other to receive the host which will be “dropped” carefully without touch into your waiting hand. You will
then take a few steps to your right or left, lower your mask, place the host into your mouth and then return
the mask back over your nose and mouth, and go back to your pew.
While it will be wonderful to finally be back with our parish community, we ask that parishioners not congre-
gate in the narthex or indoors of the church out of concern for everyone’s personal safety.
In order to follow the CDC and Diocesan guidelines, churches have to implement the following temporary
changes: for the time being we are not able to offer holy water in the fonts; have full choirs; full processions, gift
bearers, greeters or altar servers. The crying room needs to be closed and the missalettes had to be removed
from the pews for sanitary reasons.
We look forward to welcoming you back to the table of the Lord, and ask for your patience and consideration
as we do our best to re-open as safely as possible. Please understand that each of these measures are in place as
per CDC and Diocesan Guidelines and are meant to protect each of you and allow us to gather safely as we
praise God together once again!
We have missed you and are so glad to see you again!

of the pandemic, masks, sickness, quarantine, and
many other negative things. It could also be an oppor-
tunity for teens to step up and make a difference!

way that you can make their life better? We have much
uncertainty in the future and depending on how
schools reopen, there may not be requirements for
