Due to CORONAVIRUS

POPE FRANCIS PLACE IS CLOSED
until futher notice due to CORONAVIRUS precautions

Statement of Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, S.D.V., D.D. on the Death of George Floyd and its Aftermath June 3, 2020

The past week in our country has been trying, disturbing, and difficult. We shared understandable concern and anxiety as the first steps were taken toward a reopening of our pandemic-shuttered society. We rejoiced with the reopening of our churches. At the same time, we have been shocked and shaken as we witnessed in horror the senseless killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the national protest that followed. In its aftermath, we have seen understandable outrage expressed by so many people, renewed questions of racism, and at times hate and anger that has led to violence and destruction.

While some question how the brutal killing of George Floyd could happen in our country, many point to it as a stark demonstration of prevailing racism and prejudice. It is imperative, I think, to take this moment to try to understand the experiences of others, especially of those who have been historically disenfranchised; of those who still today experience injustice, indignity, and unequal opportunities only because of their race or the color of their skin.

As members of the Church, we cannot turn a blind eye when citizens are deprived of their human dignity and even their lives. In a recent pastoral letter against racism entitled, “Open Wide Our Hearts,” I joined with my brother bishops in the U.S. in pointing out that, “racism is a life issue.” Or as the bishops said in the pastoral letter, “Brothers and Sisters to Us,” “Racism is a sin: a sin that divides the human family, blots out the image of God among specific members of that family, and violates the fundamental human dignity of those called to be children of the same Father.”

Our efforts to build a culture of life needs to include a commitment by all of us to combat racism and its effects in our civic and social institutions. This commitment needs to bring to an end the indifference that has allowed the evil of racism to persist. Some may believe it is enough to be non-racist, but history has shown the need for more. We need to be actively anti-racist.

In a message addressed to the U.S. today (June 3, 2020) at his livestreamed general audience, Pope Francis said, “We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form and yet claim to defend the sacredness of every human life. At the same time, we have to recognize that ‘the violence of recent nights is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost.’”

I ask all in our diocesan community to pray for the repose of George Floyd; for the comfort of his family and friends; and for all who have suffered in any way from racial injustice. Let us pray for peace in our country; that those who feel the indignation brought by the events of the last few days may find peaceful ways to effect change, never by the use of violence. Because violence begets violence; it does not bring about peace. Let us also work, encourage others, talk about and do our part to create a peaceful response to this tragedy across our country, one that ensures the safety of our citizens. Violence and destruction serve no purpose other than to compound the challenges at hand. Our collective response must reflect a respect for all people and a unified resolve to work for equality and justice for all.

Returning to Mass Diocese of Fall River
Following Governor Charlie Baker's announcement that allows for the resumption of services at houses of worship in the state, Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha, VUE, consulted with the Presbyteral Council (or Priests) in the Diocese of Fall River and announced that diocesan churches will reopen their doors. for the Pentecost Sunday Mass, the weekend from May 30th to 31th. The bishop points out that the granting of public worship in Massachusetts requires first and foremost that all necessary security measures be observed.

Spiritual Communion of St. Alfonso María de Ligorio
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

School Reopening
The Diocese of Fall River Catholic Schools Office announced today that all Catholic schools serving Pre-K through Grade 8 students will fully reopen this fall with in-classroom instruction five days per week. The four Catholic high schools in the diocese will announce their plans for re-opening on an individual basis.

While the safety and health of students, faculty and families are paramount, research has shown that in-person instruction offers the optimal learning environment. Moreover, each school has submitted a plan to the Central School Office that follows the guidelines set forth by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

Each school is able to follow the three to six feet of social distancing requirement and still provide 100% in classroom instruction. For students or families who have compromised health conditions, every school will also offer live streaming capabilities to ensure students choosing to learn remotely are still part of the school community. Positive parent feedback of the Catholic school remote learning experience started immediately and continued through the end of the 2019-20 academic year. While parents were highly satisfied with their child’s remote learning experience, there is consensus that students of all ages yearn for the sense of community provided by their Catholic school.

“We are so pleased that our students will be able to come back to the school they know and love this fall,” said Stephen A. Perla, superintendent of Catholic schools for the Fall River Diocese. “Our school leaders have worked extremely hard to ensure a safe and healthy environment for our students and teachers. They are just as excited to return to a building full of life with the activity and sounds of happy kids.”

Andrew Raposo, principal of Espirito Santo Parochial School, Fall River, added, “We are blessed with such a big building that can safely accommodate our students and more. We welcome any family who may have some concerns about their child’s learning experience and are interested in how our school could help bridge a learning gap.”

“Education is the hot topic this summer and we are so thrilled to return as close to ‘normal’ as possible,” indicated Mona Lisa Valentino, who is principal of St. John Paul II High School in Hyannis. “Our students are excited to be back in class in August to pick up where they left off in the middle of June. There is a very strong sense of community and we welcome all new families who may feel a need to change their child’s educational direction.” St. John Paul II High School announced their return to school plans earlier this week. Similar announcements will be made by Bishop Stang High School, Bishop Connolly High School and Bishop Feehan High School.

Pipe Organ Renovation
We have received a special gift of $3,000.00 dedicated to the renewing of our church pipe organ. It is now somewhat operational, but not fully, we will continue to make repairs as the generosity of our music lovers come forward.
From our Parish History Book
“In 1927 Father Noon was able to obtain an extraordinary organ. It was purchased from Trinity Church in Boston. Originally built by Johnson in 1896, it was electrified and rebuilt by William Laws and Son when it was purchased by Father Noon. It is a four manual organ, containing sixty stops with a separate echo organ placed at the left end of the nave high above the sanctuary in the arched recesses. The organ has forty-eight adjustable combinations with three separate swell boxes. The echo organ itself has six stops and chimes, and is played from the main choir loft. A special cabinet was also provided to house the organ, decorated in the general motif utilized in the building. On this first Sunday, the organist, Mr. Joseph Fagan, who served the Church and God in that capacity for forty-seven years, arranged a special musical program.

Ceiling Leak
Upon investigation of our parish facilities we have come across a leak in the roof near the tower of the church. Deacon Thomas Palanza has been asked to coordinate a contractor for its repair.

Your Parish Needs you!
To all parishioners who want to be part of the group of volunteers to help before Masses, please call the Parish office. 508-992-9408

O Father, you desire all of us to be happy . Stir up the grace of a religious vocation in the hearts of many men and women.
Grant to them the willingness and generosity to give of themselves, their lives, their time and their talents to the service of Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord and Savior, and to His Holy Church.
