IMPORTANT! Newly Updated COVID-19 Safety Protocols
-
Dear parishioners and friends of St. Austin parish: I have a very serious request of you. When you come to church, or are around any of our clergy (priests or deacons) I ask that you please observe the minimum of six feet of separation for social distancing. We now have a variant of the disease that is more transmissible. It is easier to spread it to other people. And you can have this virus and not even know it. So, it is insidious.
We have been extraordinarily lucky at the St. Austin rectory that none of the Paulists have contracted the virus. In other Paulist houses, like New York, Chicago, Grand Rapids, they have been affected by the virus. Various priests of this diocese have contracted the disease. Holiness is no defense against this virus.
Because the priests here all live together, if one of us comes down with the virus, ALL of us will have to quarantine in place. That means that there will be NO priests able to say Mass for about two weeks. It is an all or nothing kind of situation.
Therefore, I request, no I insist, that when you come to church you maintain a minimum of six feet distance from all the parish staff. I know that this is hard, and difficult, and odd, but it is better than spreading the virus. We can get through this.
Before the covid pandemic I was not much of a hugger. But after this is all over, and we can again be in contact, I mean to put Fr. Steven Bell to shame in hugging. I too long to be able to stand close and carry on a lively conversation. But we cannot do that now.
Hopefully by Easter, or by Pentecost, with enough people inoculated against the virus, we can begin to relax these unnatural restrictions. I look forward eagerly for that day. But for now, please stay at least six feet away from me, and from all the priests.
THANKS.
Fr Chuck.

QR Code for the Sunday Worship Aid
-
Use your cell phone or tablet to access our worship aid (WA) for Mass. When you attend Mass in the church, in the Narthex you'll find a sign with a QR code that allows a quick retrieval of the WA at the click of a button!
What's the QR code? QR stands for Quick Response. It's a type of matrix barcode and looks like a square with black and white pixels forming a unique machine-readable pattern.
Why should I use the QR Code? Your electronic access saves printing costs, preserves the environment, and is a paperless way to help you participate fully in Mass.
