Entrance
All hail the pow’r of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
To crown him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem
To crown him Lord of all.
[Crown him, you holy saints of God,
Who from his altar call;
Extol him in whose path you trod,
And crown him Lord of all;
Extol him in whose path you trod,
And crown him Lord of all.]

Your

Rejoice,
give thanks, and sing,
And
triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

He
took his seat above.

WELCOME BISHOP JAMES MASSA – Bishop Massa is an Auxiliary
Bishop of the Diocese of Brooklyn and is the Rector of St. Joseph’s Seminary in
Yonkers. He will offer the 12:00 noon Mass this Sunday. This is an opportunity
for him to get to know St. Columba parish and to speak about vocations. Please
give him a warm welcome!
CHURCH DISINFECTING – The church is cleaned immediately after
every weekend Mass. We ask that you arrive no earlier than 20 minutes before
Mass begins. No one can be in church while it is being disinfected, including
the narthex. All must wait outside. If it is cold or raining, so you may wish to
wait in your car. Thanks for your
understanding. We are trying to keep everyone safe.
ARRIVING ON TIME – It helps us when you arrive before the
start of Mass. It becomes a scramble to seat people once Mass begins. Our
seating is like a jigsaw puzzle – trying to fit everyone in and keeping 6-foot
distances. Please help our ushers and greeters keep everyone safe.
CHURCH EXITING – Those seated in the side sections of the
church are encouraged to exit using the side doors. Please keep a 6-foot
distance as you exit. Please keep each
other safe!

ABOUT CHRISTMAS MASSES
Our Christmas Mass schedule is set, and the details will be
sent to all parishioners shortly after Thanksgiving both in the mail and on Flock
notes. Due to our seating restrictions, we
need to require everyone to have a ticket for Christmas Mass.
We will be using an on-line ticketing tool that is quite
simple to use. However, we realize some
of our parishioners do not have a computer or do not have access to a computer.
We will be offering help to those parishioners.
Volunteers will do the registration for them. If you do not need
assistance, please follow the instructions in the letter that is being
sent. This help is targeted to those who
genuinely need help! We will be
offering this help on Thanksgiving weekend (November 28th & 29th)
after all Masses. If you need help, please see our volunteers in the
Narthex and be sure to use proper spacing while waiting for help. They will need your name, address, your
desired Mass to attend and the number of tickets you are requesting. Your tickets will be mailed to you.
Our Christmas Mass schedule is:
·
Christmas Eve at 2:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 6:00 PM
& Midnight
·
Christmas Day at 8:00 AM, 10:00 AM and 12:00
PM.
·
Five of these Masses will also have overflow
Masses in the gym, giving us up to 12 Masses.
·
Note – special permission this year only for a
2:00 pm Mass on Christmas Eve (due to pandemic)
