Catholic Community
of San Agustín

Our Bishop continues to grant dispensation for the Sunday Mass obligation and is encouraging those who are ill, those who still feel vulnerable or whose health is compromised or those who are over the age of 65 to stay home and watch LIVE stream Mass which we will continue to offer at the new time of 12 noon. For those wishing to join us in person, please follow these guidelines for attending mass:

• Please self-screen before coming to church – stay home if you have a fever 100.4 degrees F or higher, if you feel ill, have a cough, have shortness of breath or feel uncomfortable with group gatherings.
• Please arrive 10-15 min. early (especially for weekend mass) to allow time for screening and seating. Attendance is limited to about 70.
• For Weekday Mass, please enter and exit only through the main double patio doors.
• For Weekend Mass, please enter and exit only through the main double doors on the patio or the main double doors at the Bell Tower Entrance.
• Before entering the church, wear a face mask or covering (required for ages 3 and up), sanitize hands and have temperature taken by one of our volunteers.
• A disposable Worship Aid will be provided at weekend masses upon entering and we ask that you dispose of it on your way out.
• Please follow the social distancing markers and stay 6 ft. away from others not part of your immediate family when both inside and outside of the church. Ushers will seat all parties 6 ft. apart in designated rows.
• We will process for communion with direction by ushers in one line down the center aisle, face covers can be removed just before you receive the Body of Christ and put back on immediately after receiving. We ask that all receive in the hand and not on the tongue at this time.
• There will be no consumption by the congregation of the Precious Blood.
• We will continue to refrain from the Sign of Peace.
• A basket will be available at the exit to drop in your offertory/donation.
• A recycling bin will be available at the exit to drop in your disposable worship aide.
• We ask that you limit the use of the restrooms as much as possible while present for mass - only the outside restrooms will be open for use during weekend mass times.
• Please do not stay and socialize with others after mass.
• The church will be cleaned and disinfected in between each mass.
• We look forward to having you join us!
