Rites of Initiation for RCIA Candidates & Catechumens on Pentecost

Please join us live on our St. Austin Parish Facebook page, or later view the ceremony on our  YouTube channel

In order for us to accommodate as many of the immediate family and close friends of the RCIA candidates and catechumens, please do NOT attend the 8:45 a.m. Mass in person. During this time of pandemic, to maintain social distancing and keep everyone safe, the church can accommodate only about 15% of its usual capacity. Please, stay home and watch the 8:45 a.m. Mass online.

You are most welcome at our other Masses that weekend, Saturday at 5 p.m., Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. This assumes, of course, that you are not a senior, that you are feeling healthy, you are not running a fever, you are not living with or in close proximity to someone who is ill, and your immune system is in top shape.

Please understand that we want to do all we can to play it safe, at least until we have an adequate vaccine. Thanks you for your patience as we move forward, slowly and deliberately. Better that we err on the side of caution as the stakes, life and death, are so high.
