CANS AND BOTTLES FOR YOUTH GROUP
STILL COLLECTING DURING COVID-19
Our youth group is still collecting cans and bottles. Using the blue bags makes it easy: just take them to a BottleDrop location near you and they will automatically assign the funds to us. If you don't have a blue bag, you may call the office to leave a message and Terri will be sure Janet gets it so you can set up a time to drop them off at the church.
HOW TO CONTRIBUTE FINANCIALLY DURING THIS PANDEMIC
We understand that many of you may not be receiving a pay check during this time, so please don't feel pressured to give if you cannot. However, if you can, it will help us pay our bills also. We will be making weekly deposits of all contributions.
You may find it easier to sign up for online giving on our Web Site, or through your bank, so you don't have to worry about writing a check or gathering cash. To sign up for online giving through our web site, click GIVE here, or at the top of this page.
You can also drop your envelope off at the parish office, placing it in the mail slot to the right of the office door, or you can mail your contribution directly to us at 2310 SE 148th Ave, Portland, OR 97233.
We sincerely thank you for remembering us, if you can. All of you are in our prayers!

STAYING CONNECTED: SJTW BULLETIN EMAILED
WWW.PARISHESONLINE.COM SENDS BULLETIN TO REGISTERED PARISHIONERS WITH EMAIL ADDRESSES
Please check your inboxes for the latest issue of our bulletin. It will be from LPi (Literary Press, inc.). In these days of social isolation, we are sending you this weekly newsletter electronically as one way we can stay connected. Even though parish events and organizations are not meeting, the bulletin will include a letter from Father Ted, information on what else is happening in our archdiocese, and any updates that may support you spiritually as we battle the effects of COVID-19.

ATTENDING MASS WHILE AT HOME
COPING WITH COVID-19, CORONAVIRUS, PRECAUTIONS
REGARDING MASS
During this challenging time of limited social interaction, we would like to invite you to watch the Mass with Archbishop Sample which he will LIVESTREAM EACH SUNDAY AT 11:00AM FROM THE CATHEDRAL. The Mass is in English.
You can find it by going to: https://www.facebook.com/archdpdx/.
You can also view weekend and daily mass on EWTN at https://www.ewtn.com/.
REGARDING COMMUNION
Father Ted will continue to bring anointings and communion only to those who are seriously ill, in an effort to minimize the possibility of "accidental" transmission. If you are not able to attend one of the limited-space Masses during the week or on a weekend, we suggest that you make a spiritual communion by reverently reciting the following prayer (especially during the time of communion in the Mass broadcast). This prayer can also be found on the archdiocesan web site.
MAKING A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
At times when you cannot receive Holy Communion, this prayer can supply spiritual connection with Our Lord, and bring comfort to your soul.
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment 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.
ADORATION SUSPENDED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE, DUE TO CORNOAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS
When the "Stay-at-Home" order is lifted, we will once again have Adoration times available for you to sit in the quiet presence of the Blessed Sacrament. Please call Fr. Ted at 503-761-8710 x101 to sign up for a time.
