Hi all,
As you have seen, the Bishop has canceled all public Masses until April 8 due to the coronavirus. While this is a very hard time for many of us, let us think of the many blessings that can come of creating new communities within our new technology worlds.
We can watch Mass together through Facebook, we can come together in prayer through FaceTime, Zoom, Google Hangouts and Meet, and many other amazing technology platforms we have.
With the City of Austin Ordinance taking place of no groups larger than 10 until May 1, that sadly also applies to our RCIA classes. I will continue to communicate through our newsletters and if anyone wants to have a virtual face to face we are here for you!
As for our Easter Vigil, while public Masses may not be happening until after April 8, we are in constant contact with the Diocese of Austin and we will update you as soon as we know more information. Fr. Chuck, Fr. Rich, and Dr. Andrea Pobanz and I are communicating daily on preparing for Holy Week and Easter Vigil. Know that we have your best interest in mind and we will be keeping you in the loop through email.
We are here for you. Please let us know if you want to do a virtual face to face or group meeting as we are here to answer any and all questions to our best ability!
We will reunite as one Body of Christ in the flesh soon! And when we do we will PARTY! Please stay safe!
