Coronavirus Parish Updates

May 2021 Opening Details


***UPDATE - FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 2021***
 

Friends,

 

It is very surreal to consider we are coming up on the one-year anniversary of the beginning of the shutdown here at St. Faustina and elsewhere. As your pastor, my heart continues to be with the People of God who have been affected during this pandemic, and whose lives have been changed due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In light of the Governor’s conference last week, I wanted to provide an update to you in terms of what we are doing at St. Faustina to continue to strive for safe opportunities to worship. These decisions are in conjunction with the recommendations “to stay the course” given to us from the Cardinal’s Office on Friday.  

 

Based on the recommendations from Medical Professionals, COVID-19 safety guidance and in reverence to the Holy Mass, we will implement the following adjustment to our safety protocols beginning the weekend of March 20^th and 21^st:

1. Heeding the words of Cardinal DiNardo: “recognizing the needs of the local church, in particular the need to protect the most vulnerable among us,” we will continue to ask everyone to wear masks and maintain the proper social distance at mass.
2. Given the distance far enough from the congregation, Priests, deacons and lectors will be allowed to remove their masks while reading/singing at the ambo.
3. Priests will also be permitted to remove their masks during the Eucharistic Prayer/Consecration as well as the Homily. (Important to note: The priest will cover the chalice and ciborium during the Eucharistic Prayer.)
4. Choir members will be allowed to remove their masks while singing if they maintain a minimum of 6 feet distance from each other.

In the event you would like to review the Cardinal’s recent letter, we encourage you to do so by visiting the left side of the page. 

Finally, we know there have been more people coming back to Mass these last few months and want to continue to encourage this to take place, mindful of all our existing social-distancing protocols. We will continue to use Eventbrite to hold reservations for our weekend Masses, and will be adding an additional option for outside seating to help accommodate our busier Masses that are hitting their limits. Because of the need to have ministers ready to serve this group, this option will be limited to the 11am Mass for the time-being. 

Please know I will continue to pray for each and every one of you, especially as we proceed forward and see the conditions from the pandemic begin to improve. God bless you!

Fr. Dat Hoang

***UPDATE - FRIDAY MARCH, 5, 2021***
Cardinal DiNardo has provided an update to parishes in response to the Governor's announcement last week. You can find those responses on the left side of our page. Please note, we will continue to keep our policies from the last few months in place until instructed otherwise by the Cardinal's Office.

**Update - Wednesday, April 29, 2020**

Cardinal DiNardo shared a letter to the faithful this evening regarding the plans for the Archdiocese, specifically as it pertains to reopening our parishes.

At St. Faustina, we will be open on Saturday for Confessions from 9-11am and 3-5pm; however, our Sunday Masses (11 and 1pm) will be livestreamed ONLY this weekend. Beginning Monday, we will open for Daily Masses, with our 6:30pm Monday Mass being our first Public Mass open to the parish.

Please stay tuned to our Website, Facebook, and especially our Flocknote as we update the parish regarding our specific plans and strategy moving forward. To read the Cardinal's letter, please follow one of these links:

**Update - Friday, April 3, 2020**
Yesterday, Fort Bend County extended their “Stay-Home” Mandate until April 30th, which unfortunately means our parish will remain closed until further notice. Please stay connected with us as we will continue to stream all Masses and devotionals, including Holy Week. Let us continue to pray for one another during this health crisis.  

Ayer, el condado de Fort Bend extendió su mandato de "quedarse en casa" hasta el 30 de abril, lo que desafortunadamente significa que nuestra parroquia permanecerá cerrada hasta nuevo aviso. Manténgase conectado con nosotros ya que continuaremos transmitiendo todas las Misas y devocionales, incluida la Semana Santa. Sigamos orando los unos por los otros durante esta crisis de salud.

**Update - Thursday, March 26, 2020**
To My Dear People of St. Faustina,

     I pray this message reaches you well, and all in your family are healthy and remain strong. If there is anything we can do for you, please do not hesitate to reach out. I want to thank you for everything you are doing to continue to share God’s love and mercy during this incredibly difficult time. A month ago, none of us could have foresaw the impact that the coronavirus (COVID-19) illness would have on our parish – much less our society. I am thankful for those who have quickly stepped up to try and continue sharing our mission during these difficult times, as well as those that continue to offer their support.
     I want to bring you up to speed with a few things happening at the parish in the wake of this crisis. As you may be aware, Harris County and Fort Bend County both issued a “Stay-Home” Mandate earlier this week. This mandate runs through April 3^rd and is setup to help flatten the curve by maintaining adequate social distancing during this time. With these mandates in place, we have unfortunately shut the parish down until the mandate is lifted on April 3^rd. This means we can no longer open our parish for personal prayer during the day (as we had been doing). Furthermore, we have also been instructed by the Archdiocese to reserve Confessions for now by appointment only. We will continue streaming our daily and Sunday Masses, as well as our Divine Mercy Holy Hour through our different social media channels. In addition, our staff is all working diligently from home, and will be accessible by their office phone and/or email.
     In light of this, and in congruence with our previous updates and changes, I want to call on our parish family to continue to help further the mission of our parish, especially during these difficult moments. Please observe the following:

• Please continue to drive your friends and other parishioners to our social media sites to pray with us and receive the latest updates regarding the virus. Those sites include:
  • https://saintfaustinachurch.org/ (Parish Website)
  • https://www.youtube.com/saintfaustinacatholicchurch (Masses and Devotionals)
  • https://www.facebook.com/saintfaustinachurch/
  • https://StFaustinaCCTX.flocknote.com/
• The last site is our Flocknote messaging service, which I want to continue to encourage our parish and ministries to adopt and utilize. Most importantly, it allows us the most effective way to communicate to our parish, which is important during this ever-changing situation.
• We have setup an Emergency Response Team for those in our parish (including possibly you or your family) to receive help or assistance during this crisis. Please know we are here to support you during this time, and we encourage you to visit our website dedicated to this team to learn more about it and how to get involved: https://saintfaustinachurch.org/emergency-response-team.
• Cardinal DiNardo last week stated “I want to share my gratitude for the continued generosity and stewardship of the people of our local church during these difficult times. I ask all of the faithful in the Archdiocese to continue to support their parishes during this time while the public celebration of Masses is suspended. As parishes are dependent on their weekly offertory collections, I ask that families do what they can to support the ongoing mission of their churches through online giving.” With our parish now closed I want to renew my call for our parishioners to move to our online giving platform for their weekly gifts. To access, please visit http://faithdirect.net and use our parish code of TX676.
• As Fr. David Michael and myself celebrate the sacrifice of the Mass each day and spend our time in front of the Blessed Sacrament – we continue to pray for the entire parish community. If you have specific intentions you want us to be mindful of during this time, you can share those intentions here: https://saintfaustinachurch.org/prayer-requests.

     As this situation continues to change with time, I invite you all to continue to pray for one another and especially those who serve in your ministry. I am very appreciative for all you have done and all you continue to do to help those at St. Faustina live, experience, and share the great love and mercy of God. If you have an urgent need for Confession or to receive the Sacrament in serious condition, please contact us at 346-773-3500 or info@saintfaustinachurch.org. Similarly, in the case of emergency, grave illness or death please call the emergency line at 346-387-0339 and leave a detailed message with your contact information for a call back. Otherwise, please be patient, hang in there and allow this time to build up our deeper desire and appreciation for the gifts of the sacrament. Be assured of my continued prayers for you and your family during this difficult time. God bless each of you!
 
Sincerely,
 
Fr. Dat
Pastor


A mi querida gente de Santa Faustina,
      Rezo para que este mensaje les llegue bien, y todos en tu familia estén sanos y se mantengan fuertes.  Si hay algo que podamos hacer por ustedes, no dude en comunicarse.  Quiero agradecerles por todo lo que están haciendo para continuar compartiendo el amor y la misericordia de Dios durante este momento increíblemente difícil.  Hace un mes, ninguno de nosotros podía haber previsto el impacto que la enfermedad del coronavirus (COVID-19) tendría en nuestra parroquia, y mucho menos en nuestra sociedad.  Estoy agradecido por aquellos que han rápidamente estado disponibles para seguir compartiendo nuestra misión durante estos tiempos difíciles, así como por aquellos que continúan ofreciendo su apoyo.

     Quiero actualizarlos con algunas cosas que suceden en la parroquia a raíz de esta crisis.  Como ya sabrán, el Condado de Harris y el Condado de Fort Bend emitieron un Mandato de "Permanecer en casa" a principios de esta semana.  Este mandato se extiende hasta el 3 de abril y está enfocado a ayudar a aplanar la curva de expansión del virus, manteniendo un distanciamiento social adecuado durante este tiempo.  Con estos mandatos vigentes, lamentablemente hemos cerrado la parroquia hasta que el mandato se levante el 3 de abril.  Esto significa que ya no podemos abrir nuestra parroquia para oraciones durante el día (como lo habíamos estado haciendo) y las Confesiones serán solo con cita previa.  Además, todo nuestro personal trabaja desde su casa, y será accesible por teléfono y / o correo electrónico de la oficina.
     
     A la luz de esto, con nuestras actualizaciones y cambios anteriores, quiero llamar a los coordinadores y líderes de nuestro ministerio para que continúen ayudando a la misión de nuestra parroquia, especialmente durante estos momentos difíciles.  Les pido que consideren lo siguiente y compartan lo que sea aplicable en sus ministerios:

• Continúe guiando a sus voluntarios y otros feligreses a nuestras redes sociales para orar con nosotros y recibir las últimas actualizaciones sobre el virus.  Esos sitios incluyen:

               o https://saintfaustinachurch.org/
               o https://www.youtube.com/saintfaustinacatholicchurch (Misas y devocionales)
               o https://www.facebook.com/saintfaustinachurch/
               o https://StFaustinaCCTX.flocknote.com/

• El último sitio es nuestro servicio de mensajería Flocknote, el cual invito que su ministerio adopte y utilice.  Lo más importante es que nos permite la forma más efectiva de comunicarnos con nuestra parroquia, lo cual es importante durante esta situación siempre cambiante.  Si necesita ayuda para configurarlo para el uso de su ministerio, por favor comuníquese con Brian Lennox.
• Hemos establecido un Equipo de Respuesta de Emergencia en nuestra parroquia para aquellos que requieran recibir ayuda o asistencia durante esta crisis (incluso posiblemente usted o su familia).  Tenga en cuenta que estamos aquí para apoyarlo durante este tiempo, y lo invitamos a que visite nuestro sitio web dedicado a este equipo para obtener más información y cómo involucrarse: https://saintfaustinachurch.org/emergency-response-team.
• El cardenal DiNardo declaró la semana pasada: “Quiero compartir mi gratitud por la continua generosidad y empoderamiento de la gente de nuestra iglesia local durante estos tiempos difíciles.  Pido a todos los fieles de la Arquidiócesis que continúen apoyando a sus parroquias durante este tiempo mientras se suspende la celebración pública de las Misas.  Como las parroquias dependen de sus colecciones semanales de ofertorio, les pido a las familias que hagan lo que puedan para apoyar la misión continua de sus iglesias a través de donaciones en línea”.  Con el cierre de nuestra oficina parroquial, quiero renovar mi llamado para que nuestros feligreses consideren usar nuestra plataforma de donaciones en línea para sus obsequios semanales.  Para acceder, visite http://faithdirect.net y use nuestro código parroquial TX676.
• Como el Padre David Michael y yo celebramos el sacrificio de la Misa todos los días y pasamos nuestro tiempo frente al Santísimo Sacramento; seguimos orando por toda la comunidad parroquial.  Si tiene intenciones específicas que desea que tengamos en cuenta durante este tiempo, puede compartir esas intenciones aquí: https://saintfaustinachurch.org/prayer-requests.

 
      A medida que esta situación sigue evolucionando, los invito a todos a continuar orando unos por otros y especialmente por aquellos que sirven en su ministerio.  Aprecio mucho todo lo que han hecho y lo que siguen haciendo para ayudar la comunidad de Santa Faustina para que continúe viviendo, experimentando y compartiendo el gran amor y la misericordia de Dios.  Tenga la seguridad de mis continuas oraciones por usted y su familia durante este momento difícil.  ¡Dios bendiga a cada uno de ustedes!
 
 Sinceramente,
 
 Padre Dat
 Pastor


**Update - Wednesday, March 25, 2020**

**Update - Friday, March 20, 2020**
To My Parish Family,

     It is with a heavy heart that I am writing you to again update you with some pretty substantial changes that have been mandated across the Archdiocese. It seems like things change on a daily basis at this point, and we want to do everything we can at St. Faustina to remain flexible by adapting to these changes. At the same time, we do not want to neglect our parish mission and are intent on having our parish family continue to live, experience and share the love and mercy of God when possible.

     This week, Cardinal DiNardo gave us an update on what parish life looks like in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston in his letter addressed to the local church found here. The recommendations and precautions recommended by the Archdiocese included the suspension of all public celebrations of Mass for the immediate future, and the curtailing of additional sacraments and gatherings for the time being. We have quickly responded to these mandates, along with the additional growing concerns presented by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and want to let you know of the changes we have made as a result of this letter.

Sacraments

• All masses (daily and weekend) are now being streamed on our YouTube channel, which we encourage everyone to subscribe to for future updates.
• We are limiting our weekend Mass schedule to just 11am (English) and 1pm (Spanish) – which are closed and will only be streamed.
• In light of the health crisis, we want to encourage everyone to please consider using our online giving platform for their weekly gifts. To access, please visit http://faithdirect.net and use our church code TX676. If you are unable to access FaithDirect, donation envelopes may be dropped in the mailbox outside the front of the Church Office.
• The Sacrament of Reconciliation will continue at regularly scheduled times. However, we have suspended face-to-face Reconciliation in the Confessionals and have setup screens on opposite sides of the church. We ask that penitents observe proper social distancing while waiting for the Sacrament.
• Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament is limited to the Divine Mercy Holy Hour from 3-4pm, which will be live-streamed. Those who wish to come in and adore the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle are free to do so during our new office hours.

Office and Staff

• The Church will be open during the week from 9:30am-5:00pm on Monday through Thursday, and 9:30am-12:00pm on Fridays for those who wish to come and pray.
• Instead of entering the Church through the office, we encourage you to enter through the front doors (adjacent to the Church) after 9:30am, as they will be open and unlocked.
• In the interest of the clergy and staff the parish office will be closed - with those on staff being available by appointment only. 
• The staff is currently staggering their schedule, and working from home the majority of the time. Please call or email us if you need to reach us.

Ministry Gatherings and Formation Events

• All on-campus gatherings and classes remain closed until further notice.
• We are working on plans to continue to engage our families and ministries during this time, and highly encourage you to signup for Flocknote if you have not already done so for all of the latest updates and changes: https://StFaustinaCCTX.flocknote.com/.

Emergency Response Team

• As a part of our parish family’s emergency preparedness, St. Faustina Catholic Church is offering an opportunity to our elderly, disabled and infirmed parishioners to sign up for our calling tree. Once registered to the calling tree, you will receive a phone call from a volunteer representative inquiring about your well-being and needs. 
• Utilizing volunteers from the amazing St. Faustina Parish family, we will make every effort to address your needs.
• You can register for the calling tree by clicking here. 
• If you can help us respond to requests from people on the calling tree, please click here. 
• If you are not comfortable filling out an online form, please call our office at 346-773-3500 during normal office hours (Monday - Thursday: 9:30a.m. - 5 p.m. or Friday:  9:30a.m. - 12 noon).
• Note that the calling tree is limited to St. Faustina Catholic Church parishioners only. Any personal information that is provided on the calling tree will not be shared with anyone outside of St. Faustina.

A mi querida familia parroquial,
 
Les escribo con el pesar de mi corazón para actualizarlos nuevamente con algunos cambios importantes que se han ordenado en toda la Arquidiócesis.  Parece que las cosas cambian a diario en este momento, y queremos hacer todo lo posible en Santa Faustina para ser flexibles y adaptarnos a estos cambios.  Al mismo tiempo, no queremos descuidar nuestra misión parroquial y tenemos la intención de que nuestra familia parroquial continúe viviendo, experimentando y compartiendo el amor y la misericordia de Dios como sea posible.
 
Esta semana, el Cardenal DiNardo nos dio una actualización sobre cómo es la vida parroquial en la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Houston en su carta dirigida a la iglesia local: https://www.archgh.org/news-data/latest-news/a  -message-from-daniel-cardinal-dinardo-re-coronavirus-covid-19-and-mass /.  Las recomendaciones y precauciones recomendadas por la Arquidiócesis incluyeron la suspensión de todas las celebraciones públicas de la Misa para el futuro inmediato, y la reducción de sacramentos y reuniones adicionales por el momento.  Hemos respondido rápidamente a los mandatos, junto con las crecientes preocupaciones adicionales presentadas por el Coronavirus (COVID-19) y queremos informarles sobre los cambios que hemos realizado en respuesta a esta carta.
 
Sacramentos

• Todas las misas (diarias y de fin de semana) ahora se transmiten en nuestro canal de YouTube, por lo que los invitamos a todos a suscribirse para futuras actualizaciones.
• Estamos limitando nuestro horario de misas de fin de semana a solo 11 a.m. (inglés) y 1 p.m. (español), que se transmitirán en vivo por nuestros canales digitales.
• En vista de la crisis de salud, queremos invitar a todos a que consideren usar nuestra plataforma de donaciones en línea para sus limosnas semanales.  Para acceder, visite http://faithdirect.net

y use nuestro código de iglesia TX676.Si no puede acceder a FaithDirect, le recomendamos que continúe enviando su limosna semanal a la parroquia durante nuestro horario de oficina.

• El sacramento de la Reconciliación continuará en los horarios normales.  Sin embargo, hemos suspendido la Reconciliación cara a cara en los confesionarios y tenemos pantallas colocadas en lados opuestos de la iglesia.  Pedimos que los penitentes observen un distanciamiento social adecuado mientras esperan el Sacramento.
• La exposición del Santísimo Sacramento se limita a la Hora Santa de la Divina Misericordia de 3 a 4 p.m., que se transmitirá en vivo.  Aquellos que deseen entrar y adorar el Santísimo Sacramento en el tabernáculo son libres de hacerlo durante las horas de oficina.

 
Oficina y personal

• La Iglesia estará abierta durante la semana de 9:30 a.m. a 5:00 p.m. de lunes a jueves, y de 9:30 a.m. a 12:00 p.m. los viernes para aquellos que deseen venir a rezar.
• En lugar de ingresar a la Iglesia a través de la oficina, le recomendamos que ingrese por las puertas delanteras después de las 9:30 a.m., ya que estarán abiertas y desbloqueadas.
• En interés del clero y el personal, la oficina de la parroquia estará cerrada, y los miembros del personal estarán disponibles solo con cita previa.  El personal actualmente está balanceando su horario, con la mayor parte del tiempo trabajando desde sus casas. Por favor llámenos o envíenos un correo electrónico si necesita comunicarse con nosotros.

**Update - Tuesday, March 17, 2020**

Cardinal DiNardo has just released an update regarding new Archdiocesan recommendations and precautions as it relates to the COVID-19 Virus. Please read the attached letter in its entirety.

Fr. Dat will be addressing the parish tomorrow, and specifically how this affects St. Faustina moving forward. Please note the most immediate change is that "the public celebration of all weekday and Sunday Masses will be suspended in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston." Instead, we will be live-streaming Father's celebration of the Mass daily at 8:30am, and will publish updates regarding weekend Masses tomorrow.

The Church will be opening tomorrow at 9:30am for those who wish to come and pray, while (in the interest of the clergy and staff) the parish office will be closed - with those on staff being available by appointment only. Instead of entering the Church through the office, we encourage you to enter through the front doors after 9:30am, as they will be open and unlocked.

"We are facing a difficult and uncertain future and we may think the Lord is asleep. Through our constant prayer and works of charity, our Lord suddenly arises and calms the rough seas."

***********************************************************************************
**Update - Monday, March 16, 2020**
As of today, all Masses will continue to be celebrated at their regularly scheduled times. Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament and Adoration will be held in the main Church rather than the side Chapel on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday allowing more “social distancing” as you spend time with the Lord.

If you are unable or uncomfortable to gather with us at the Church, stay closely connected to the church family by participating in the Mass celebrations online.

In addition, we continue to be diligent in disinfecting all common area touchpoints.

During our Masses this past weekend, we did not pass the collection baskets to avoid person to person contact as much as possible. Due to the means of avoiding the spread of the coronavirus, we are encouraging our parishioners to instead give online as a safe and efficient way to continue your faithful donations to St. Faustina. If you are one who normally gives by check or cash, please consider using our online platform, http://faithdirect.net and use our church code TX676.

Leveraging technology to meet during this time helps to ensure the most precautions available are being utilized for the benefit of our parish family. We will continue to look at additional ways to connect with the parish throughout the week using social media and our live-streaming capabilities, and will provide any additional updates regarding COVID-19 as they happen.
