Letter from the Bishop  3/4/2021

Excerpt from Bishop's letter after Governor Abbott opens Texas.

 After consultation with my priests, civic officials, members of the laity, and professionals in the fields of medicine and public health I judge it very prudent currently to maintain our protocols that have been in effect since September 25, 2020. It is our Christian responsibility to maintain our concern for others especially those most vulnerable so that we attend Mass safely and contribute to the common good of our parishes and the larger community of our towns, counties, and state.

Key Points:
1. The faithful are dispensed from the obligation to attend and to participate in Sunday Mass.
2.People in attendance at Mass wear masks or scarfs over their mouths and nose inside the church to help prevent the spread of the virus.
3, The number of people who are to be in attendance at Mass will be limited to a number that can be safely present mindful of the recomendations by the Governor of moving in Phase !! from 25% to 50% capacity and social distancing with the required protocols of masks and santizing of hands.
4. Bishop is asking that the venerable custom of receiving Holy Communion on the tongue not be done during this phase and period of pandemic.

 

While every Mass is a healing Mass, we dedicate this mass as “A Special Healing Mass.” At this Mass, we ask God to bless all the sick (physically, psychologically, mentally and spiritually). We will also pray for all the caregivers. There are 3 healing masses per month:

St. Frances Cabrini
First Wednesday at 7:00pm (Spanish) 
First Friday at 9:00am (English)

St. Rose of Lima
First Thursday at 7:00pm (Bilingual)
 

                             

Aunque cada misa sea una misa de sanación, dedicamos la misa como "Misa Especial de Sana- ción." En esta misa le pedimos a Dios que bendiga a todos los enfermos (físicamente, psicológicamente, mentalmente y espiritualmente). También oraremos por todos los que los cuidan. Hay 3 misas de sanación por mes:

St. Frances Cabrini
Primer miércoles a las 7:00pm (español) 
Primer viernes a las 9:00am (ingles)

St. Rose of Lima
Primer jueves a las 7:00pm (bilingüe)

WASHINGTON – As the world continues to face the ongoing effects of the global pandemic of the coronavirus, Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has announced that the U.S. bishops will join the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops on May 1 in renewing the consecrations of the two nations to the care of our Blessed Mother.

Through a collective dedication or entrustment of a nation to Mary, an act of consecration is meant to be a reminder to the faithful of the Blessed Mother’s witness to the Gospel and to ask for her effective intercession before her Son on behalf of those in need. Bishop John Carroll of Baltimore, the first bishop of the United States, promoted devotion to Mary, the Mother of God, and placed the United States under her protection in a pastoral letter of 1792. The twenty-one bishops attending the Sixth Provincial Council of Baltimore in 1846 determined to name the Blessed Virgin Mary, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, as the Patroness of the United States, and Pope Pius IX approved this decision the following year. More recently, the dedication of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. in 1959 was the opportunity for the bishops to once again consecrate the nation to the Blessed Mother. Several popes have likewise consecrated the world to Mary on various occasions.

The consecration on May 1. . . follows a similar action of the bishops’ conference of Latin America and the Caribbean (CELAM) who consecrated their nations to Our Lady of Guadalupe on Easter Sunday. The renewal of consecration planned in this country for May 1 does not change the designation of Mary as the Patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception. Rather, this prayer reaffirms and renews previous Marian entrustments, and unites us in solidarity with our Holy Father, who recently established the Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, as a source of protection and strength.

“This will give the Church the occasion to pray for Our Lady’s continued protection of the vulnerable, healing of the unwell, and wisdom for those who work to cure this terrible virus,” said Archbishop Gomez in a letter to the U.S. bishops. Each year, the Church seeks the special intercession of the Mother of God during the month of May. “This year, we seek the assistance of Our Lady all the more earnestly as we face together the effects of the global pandemic,” he continued.

Archbishop Gomez will lead a brief liturgy with the prayer of re-consecration on Friday, May 1 at 3:00 pm EDT and has invited the bishops to join in from their respective dioceses and asked them to extend the invitation to the faithful in their dioceses for their participation. A liturgy guide will be available to assist the faithful who may join in by tuning into the USCCB’s social media platforms: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
