COVID-19 Update from Fr. Roger
Our archbishop, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, has announced that the public celebration of all weekday and Sunday Masses is suspended in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston effective March 18, 2020 until further notice.
Read the Cardinal’s full message.
Other than the cancellation of all Masses and all parish activity, the church will remain open and available during the day from 8:00AM until 9:00AM on weekdays, for private prayer.
At this moment of health crisis, scheduled confessions are virtually impossible. If you are conscious of deliberate, grave sin, please make a perfect act of contrition (even in your own words) with a determination to come to the Sacrament of Reconciliation personally when things normalize. A perfect act of contrition means repentance and sorrow motivated primarily by the love of God and not simply fear of punishment. Do not feel guilty or scrupulous about this. We're all doing the best we can.
As we have all experienced over the past few days, this is a very dynamic situation. We will continue to post updates to our parish website and through email communications.
Please be vigilant and do what we have to do for love of God and others. Pray for all who are sick, and for the healthcare professionals who are working tirelessly in response to this pandemic.
新冠病毒最新消息 - 張漱昕神父 3/18/2020
總教區主教，Daniel Cardinal DiNardo，昨晚宣佈，從3/18起取消所有教區內的所有彌撒，直到另行通知。除了彌撒以及堂區內的各項活動之外，如果你希望到教堂內祈禱，教堂會在週一到週五，從早上8:00開放到9:00點。
在這段健康危機的時間，找時間辦告解幾乎是不可能之事；我建議希望辦告解的教友能在家做上等痛悔(即因愛天主而後悔犯罪，而非因怕受處罰而懺悔)，等到疫情好轉，一切恢復正常之後，再到教堂來領受和好聖事。不要因此而有罪惡感，因為這是特殊時期，我們只能盡力而為。
最近幾天疫情之發展，以及政府所採取之防疫措施，可謂瞬息萬變，請大家密切注意在堂區網頁，以及電子郵件所發出的新的消息。
請大家繼續警醒，為愛主愛人而做我們當做之事。請為患病者祈禱，也為醫護人員祈禱，求主幫助我們大家平安地走過這一個時期。
