PARISH NEWS & UPDATES | COVID-19

ATTENDING MASS IN PERSON BEGINNING MAY 9-10, 2020: The Diocese of Corpus Christi has released notice that public Mass may resume beginning Mother's Day weekend, May 9-10, 2020. Masses will be held at the usual times (posted on the home page of this website), and we must follow specific guidance from the Diocese to ensure the safest possible environment for all to worship at Mass. This guidance includes a limit of 25% capacity and social distancing while seated during Mass (our parish is designed well for this purpose, and we anticipate being easily able to meet these guidelines). Additionally, all of the faithful who are at risk because of an underlying health issue, or who are over 65 years of age are strongly encouraged, for their own health, to avoid the risk of attending public celebrations of the Mass. We ask these faithful people to continue celebrating Mass virtually at home, on TV or online.

We ask that everyone planning to attend Mass in person please review the following guidance from the Diocese prior to arrival: 

• Abbrieviated Directives regarding Re-Opening of Our Parishes
• Diocesan Mass Precautions

ATTENDING MASS VIRTUALLY: Due to the ongoing COVID- 19 Health Emergency, some individuals (as referenced above) may be encouraged to attend Mass by wathcing on TV or online. Mass from the Corpus Christi Cathedral is being televised at 9.30 a.m. each Sunday. Coverage is available on KDF-TV. You may also tune into the Mass on KLUX. 

PARISH ACTIVITIES SUSPENDED: The following parish events and activities have been cancelled, or suspended, until further notice: Tuesday Bingo, Food Pantry, Adult Faith Formation Classes and Catehism/CCE. Due to the COVID-19 Health Emergency, Fr. Patrick's pilgrimage to the Shrine of Italy and Medjugorje (formerly scheduled for June 22, 2020 to July 3, 2020) has been postponed. We will reschedule when it is safe to do so. 

ADORATION CHAPEL: Our Adoration Chapel will remain open for Adoration and Prayer (must use hand sanitizer, be 6 feet away from the next person & no more then 4 people in the Chapel at any one time). Thank you for your understanding and support as we respond to the COVID-19 crisis in our community and as a parish family.
