Despite so much difficult news to process, including, as we go to publication, the imposition of Stage 5 Restrictions to stem the spread of COVID-19, it’s time to stop to ponder the great mystery of Our Savior’s Birth. At this writing we have not been advised by the diocese to change any of our plans for the celebration of Christmas Eve and Day Masses as scheduled. We have taken all precautions and will strictly follow CDC protocols to provide a safe environment for your worship. As the situation remains fluid, please look for updates at StAustin.org.
