Archbishop Michael Jackels announced that the
parishes in the Archdiocese of Dubuque are reopening on the
May 30/31 weekend:
“This decision was based on receiving confirmation of our
interpretation of the relevant data, namely, that there has been
a 14-day downward trend in positive tests, hospitalizations, and
deaths related to COVID-19 in the 30 northeastern counties in
Iowa.
We’re not yet out of the woods; the coronavirus is still with
us. If we’re not careful, it could come back with a vengeance.
We will continue to monitor the data.
With regard to gathering for a liturgy or a devotional in
church, on account of social distancing, there will only be room
for a smaller number of people to attend. But not to worry,
because everyone will still remain dispensed from the law to
participate in Mass on Sundays and holy days, until further notice,
probably when a vaccine is available. Those who want to
receive Holy Communion can satisfy that desire at a weekday
Mass.
When we open, remember to pray for those who died
during the pandemic, and for those who haven’t been able to
grieve their passing properly. And pray too, for people who
are sick, for caregivers, and for those who live in fear for their
lives and their livelihood.
We eventually want the pews filled, and programs well-
attended, it just might take some time. Prayers for the end of
the pandemic’s threat, as well as patience and cooperation are
what’s needed most right now. May God bless us all.”

In Honor of Don & Connie
McCoy’s Anniversary St. Columbkille
received $250.00 to provide hosts and
wine for the month of June, 2020. What
a wonderful gift!
During This Stressful Time we have
had to adopt new guidelines for the Sacra-
ment of Reconciliation. For the time being
we can only do confessions by appoint-
ment. If you want to make an appoint-
ment, please call the Parish Office and the
secretary will ask you a few questions and
get your first name and your telephone
number. The secretary will then contact Fr.
Paul and he will call you direct either to set
up an appointment or just talk to you on
the phone. We don’t like this situation any
better than you do—but we have to be safe
AND we want YOU to be safe as well.
“...shelter us under the mantle of your protection,
keep us in the embrace of your arms, help us al-
ways to know the love of your Son, Jesus.
Amen.” —- Intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe

Come Holy Spirit Come!
This is the first line of the sequence for the celebration of
Pentecost and it has become a common prayer for me. The needed
third step in the resurrected life.
Jesus rose from the dead, he ascended into heaven and he sent
the Holy Spirit. We elevate these three events with liturgical
celebrations but we are called to enact them in our lives.
Oftentimes, people want the experience of these to be found
within the liturgy in itself and they find it lacking. I don’t think
liturgy works that way. Liturgy elevates what God has revealed to
us as a way of living.
In the Resurrection, we are reminded that death is not the end.
New life, a resurrected life is meant for each of us. We have small
deaths in our life everyday, we are called to embrace the new life
God makes available to us.
In the Ascension, we see Jesus returning home with wounds and
all. Heaven has the capacity for our brokenness. Some wounds,
like the marks of his nails, make us more human rather than less.
Heaven has room for the fullness of who are called to be.
What about Pentecost? Why is this a needed third step?
The revelation of this event indicates the long term nature of this
third step. “And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began
to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to
proclaim” (Act 2:4).
In the Resurrection and the Ascension, these two events could be
interpreted as a personal and short-term phenomenon. As a good
Christian, I will sit in my room praying and waiting for the day of
my final resurrection and ascension. However, Pentecost does not
allow this interpretation. God gives the Apostles the ability to
share this good news in every language present. The communal
nature of resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost becomes front and
center.
We are given the Holy Spirit as well. In our Baptism and in
Confirmation, we are united with the disciples in the room at
Pentecost. In the gifts we are given, we are called to share.
May you experience the joy of the Holy Spirit flooding your heart
and help you to share the joy of the resurrection, ascension, and
Pentecost as a way of living.
In Christ,
Fr. David

Electronic Funds Transfer OR increasing your
EFT contribution!!! And Thank You for the
donations you have dropped off or mailed to us.
It’s parishioners like YOU who have kept St.
Columbkille strong in these trying times.
An Act of Spiritual Communion
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 lease 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.
Due to the Corona Virus there is no
obligation to attend Mass — we have
changed the St. Columbkille daily
Mass time to 5:30 pm on Monday thru
Thursday so you have options to
receive The Eucharist other than at
Sunday Mass. But we must still
practice social distancing, masks etc.
