January 19, 202135th Anniversary of the Dedication of Our Parish
The church we gather to worship in at Church of the Annunciation was dedicated on January 19, 1986. The anniversary of a church’s dedication is a solemnity in that church. On Tuesday, January 19th we will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of the dedication of the space we gather as a parish family to worship God in. In addition to the regularly scheduled 8:00 am Mass, we will be celebrating a Mass at 7:00 pm at which some priests who have history here at the Church of the Annunciation will concelebrate.
Sweet 16 Piccadilly
This year we celebrate our sweet 16 Piccadilly with a virtual auction. All donations need to be in ASAP! On February 6 at 7 PM the committee along with our youth emcees, will GO LIVE on our Annunciation YouTube channel (the same channel you use to watch Mass). Each paddle number will be $50 which includes a chance to win every single item. We will introduce each item, draw a paddle number, and announce the winner live on YouTube. However you need not to be virtually present to win, we will text you at the end of the night and prizes will be picked up the next day at church until noon. Be sure to invite any guests you have brought in the past, even if they have moved away. And you can get a paddle this year no matter how old you are! We know many people gather for this annual tradition so be sure to buy your tickets by Feb 1st to be entered into a raffle for dinner or dessert on us, for your watch party up to 8 people. Tickets will go on sale on January 23rd and we will need a name for every single paddle number you purchase and must be paid for in full, before 6pm on February 6th! We will virtually see you then!
COVID-19 Reminders
Sisters and Brothers: Cases of COVID-19 are trending upward in a concerning way both in the Kansas City Metro and in Clay County. This includes Kearney and our parish. It is worthwhile to review some of the guidelines our diocese and our parish to protect ourselves and others. The diocesan guidelines direct:
Those who are symptomatic or who have been exposed to another with the virus within 14 days are not permitted to enter the church, in accordance with national, state and local health directives. All attendees are asked to check their temperature at home before coming to church.*
Those who are at risk because of an underlying health issue or who are 60 or older are strongly encouraged, for their own health, to avoid the risk of attending public celebrations of the Mass.
The faithful are obliged to wear a mask upon entering the church and during the celebration of Mass, except when remaining in the pew unless the local city/county health directives so require and for the brief moment of receiving Holy Communion.
The faithful in the pews are permitted to sing, with masks on, in a low volume.
Distribution of Holy Communion from the chalice is prohibited to the assembly.
During this time, Holy Communion should be distributed in the hand in keeping with the advice of state health officials and thereby to avoid the Communion minister’s fingers coming into contact with saliva or airborne contagion. This might be a good occasion to review proper reception with parishioners: “When receiving in the hand, the communicant should be guided by the words of St. Cyril of Jerusalem: ‘When you approach, take care not to do so with your hand stretched out and your fingers open or apart, but rather place your left hand as a throne beneath your right, as befits one who is about to receive the King. Then receive him, take care that nothing is lost.’” Reception of Holy Communion in the hand is an ancient and reverent option the faithful are asked to adopt during this time. Those who refrain from receiving communion still unite themselves with the sacrifice of Christ
The priest is not to greet parishioners as they enter or exit the church.
Conception Abbey will live stream their Masses.
