Faith Briefs do not appear here, as a result. People are encouraged to contact their places of worship for further information on reschedulings, cancellations and online services, where available. The Catholic Church has announced further changes in response to a global coronavirus pandemic that has led to an increased emphasis on social distancing. The Archdiocese of Chicago announced the Chrism Mass will not be celebrated publicly, nor will the annual Day of Reflection be held. But the Cardinal Blase Cupich and the auxiliary bishops are to celebrate Mass in Holy Name Cathedral, to be livestreamed at radiotv. archchicago.org/televi sion/broadcast-masses. The Mass of the Lord’s Supper (without washing of the feet), the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion, and the Easter Vigil will be celebrated and streamed in a similar manner. If and when the Mass of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated privately in one’s parish, it is not to include the ritual of the washing of feet. Holy oils are not to be distributed until the health crisis has abated, according to a press release issued March 19 by the church. Similarly, Palm Sunday and Holy Week liturgies are not to be celebrated publicly by any parishes in the archdiocese. That even extends to outdoor happenings such as live Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. And there also will be no distribution of blessed palms, though priests may bless palms privately for later distribution at a time to be determined. Easter sacraments for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults candidates and catechumens are to be postponed. Communion services also have been put on hold. On March 18, the archdiocese issued new guidelines regarding funerals and wakes, as well as reinforced the suspension of all public liturgies. Among the new guidelines, funerals can proceed with immediate family but should not exceed 10 people; social distancing of 6 feet should be observed; no physical contact is to take place; high-risk individuals are encouraged not to attend; and physical spaces in the church must be sanitized after use. Viewings are only being conducted in cases in which the body has been embalmed, and similar restrictions to the funerals are to be observed. Hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes also are to be provided. Committal is to take place at the gravesite, only with immediate family not 6 to exceed 10 people, per the archdiocese. And no pre- or post-service social gatherings are allowed in parish buildings or on parish property. The archdiocese also on March 20 announced Cardinal Cupich has asked parishes to ring bells five times a day as a call to prayer for groups impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning at 9 a.m. March 21. It is to continue every three hours each day, with the last bells to ring at 9 p.m. each evening. Each of the five prayer times daily are to be dedicated to a specific group particularly impacted by the pandemic. The archdiocese announced it is to provide short prayer intentions on its website in three languages — English, Spanish and Polish — with a special intention of the day announced at the daily Mass aired on the archdiocesan website. For more information about the prayer, visit archchicago.org. The archdiocese on March 13 announced a confirmed COVID-19 case at St. Margaret of Scotland School in Chicago, noting the student involved also attended an all-school Mass on March 12 at St. Margaret of Scotland Church. Both the school and church were shut down immediately. Later the same day, the archdiocese suspended public celebration of Mass across all of its churches, the closure of all archdiocesan schools and related agencies.
<strong>OP</strong>Prairiedaily.com life & Arts the orland park prairie | March 26, 2020 | 19 Serving the community, one pie at a time 6 Joey’s donates roughly 500 pizzas to people helping in Chicago area Bill Jones, Editor Pictured are a group of nurses who recently were recipients of some of the generosity of Joey’s and Nick’s Painting & Decorating Inc., who teamed up to deliver roughly 500 pizzas to those helping in the local community. Photo submitted Two Orland Park businesses have been helping those who are helping others by making sure they are well-fed — to the tune of roughly 500 pizzas. Joey’s locations in both Orland Park and Morgan Park teamed up with Nick’s Painting & Decorating Inc., of Orland Park, to deliver the pizzas March 19 and 20 to first responders, family shelters, city workers, medical staff and more in the Chicago area. Nick Ipema, owner of Nick’s Painting, said the idea started with interior designer Susan Devito, who wanted to serve the community during its response to the coronavirus pandemic. She wanted to “be a light for those that serve us daily,” Ipema said. The original plan was to provide goods, doughnuts and other items to people, but Ipema started making calls and found everyone was short on food and had limited supplies. “We wanted to do something big,” he said. “So, I was conjuring up ways that we could get a lot of food, quickly and efficiently, without taking over a shop’s entire product and workload.” He turned to friends Anthony Nardo and Nick Iozzo, of Joey’s. And Joey’s Pizza soon became the topic of discussion. “What an excellent way to get food out to these people,” Ipema said. “We could stagger the deliveries every three hours, and I could have my guys use our vans to deliver.” Ipema said both Joey’s and Nick’s are seeing a slowdown in business, so this effort became a way to put their combined talents, employees and business tools to use. His secretary, Brittany Lisak, made a list of places in need. Some calls were made and then the pizzas started going out, from New Lenox to Mokena to Frankfort and Tinley Park. Nick’s employees Adam Bogovich and George Stergiopoulos also helped the group deliver pizzas. Orland Park man helping Tinley Park church to connect with parishioners Effort started last November has become vital amid pandemic Alyssa Collins Freelance Reporter In light of the COV- ID-19 pandemic, the St. Julie Billiart Roman Catholic Church has turned to streaming Mass as a way to keep parishioners engaged and connected. For the past several years, Steve Neuhaus, of Orland Park, has been the unofficial photographer and videographer for the Tinley Park church. And back in November, Neuhaus and the Rev. Lou Tylka teamed up to begin the process of streaming Mass. Neuhaus and Tylka could not have predicted how important this would become in the wake of a global pandemic. “We’re living in interesting times, far beyond coronavirus,” Tylka said. “The way people interact with the church and the way people engage with their faith has been shifting and changing for years.” With the COVID-19 virus shutting down all inperson services, Tylka is using this opportunity to find new technologies and tools to spread his message to a broader audience, he said. Neuhaus and Tylka currently livestream Mass at 9:30 a.m. each Sunday. In addition to weekly Mass, Tylka records what he calls “midweek moments.” These are shorter videos intended to encourage the community and allow the parish to remain connected in a time when they are forced to stay away, he said. These are to be posted each Wednesday. “Church is far beyond a building,” Tylka said. “Our discipleship goes far beyond just coming to Mass. So, perhaps there are things we can think about and discover in this crisis to continue engaging people and inviting people to a life of discipleship.” Once life regains a sense of normalcy, Tylka intends to continue using videos and livestreams as a way to connect with those who approach faith in a different way, he said. While the parish has encountered some challenges, such as parishioners having difficulty accessing the internet, the feedback from the community has been overwhelmingly positive, Neuhaus said. As the COVID-19 virus forces many parishioners to stay home, views have skyrocketed, and likes and comments continue to pour in. The idea to livestream originated as a way to reach the elderly or sick 5 parishioners who could no longer attend weekly Mass. It has evolved into an opportunity to bring the parish together during a time of uncertainty. “It’s not just shooting photos or shooting a video; we’re bringing the Lord to our folks who are homebound, who are sick and unable to attend Mass,” Neuhaus said. Neuhaus and Tylka livestream weekly on Facebook, and the video is then uploaded to YouTube and the St. Julie website, https://www.stjulie.org.
