EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
After much prayer, discernment and with the support of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church organization/Group/Club leaders, I have made the difficult decision to remove our Sunday 4pm Mass from our current Mass schedule until further notice.
Due to the devastating effect that Covid 19 (Coronavirus) has had on our San Antonio Community, many parishioners have made the difficult decision to stay home and stay safe. This is something I fully understand and am in complete support of. Unfortunately, in doing so, our parishioner attendance for the 4pm Mass has drastically lessened. I feel that it is better that our last Mass be at 12:30pm which will allow our volunteers to disinfect our Church and close it completely until Mass on Monday. If in the future there is a need or a serious inquiry and want for an afternoon Mass, I will reevaluate this decision.
I thank all of our faithful who continue to support our Parish. We could not continue if not for your unwavering support and donations. It is much appreciated.
Fr. Benjy, CMF

EFECTIVO INMEDIATAMENTE
Después de mucha oración, discernimiento y con el apoyo de la organización de la Iglesia del Inmaculado Corazón de María/Líderes de Grupos/Club, he tomado la difícil decisión de retirar nuestra misa dominical de las 4pm de nuestro horario actual hasta nuevo aviso.
Debido al efecto devastador que Covid 19 (Coronavirus) ha tenido en nuestra comunidad de San Antonio, muchos feligreses han tomado la difícil decisión de quedarse en casa y mantenerse seguros. Esto es algo que comprendo completamente y sepan que reciben todo mi apoyo. Desafortunadamente, al hacerlo, nuestra asistencia de feligreses a la misa de las 4 de la tarde ha disminuido drásticamente. Es mejor que nuestra última misa en domingos sea a las 12:30 pm, lo que permitirá a nuestros voluntarios desinfectar nuestra Iglesia y cerrarla por completo hasta el lunes. Si en el futuro hay una necesidad seria de una misa en la tarde, ténganlo por seguro que reevaluaré esta decisión. Doy las gracias a todos nuestros fieles que siguen apoyando a nuestra Parroquia. No podríamos continuar si no fuera por su apoyo inquebrantable y donaciones. En Cristo,
P. Benjy, CMF

I rejoiced because they said to me, “We will go to the house of the LORD.”
My Dear Immaculate Heart of Mary Community,
I along with my IHM Claretian brothers and staff are excited to announce that the Archdiocese is allowing us to resume public masses. Weekday Masses will start on Tuesday, May 19th, and Saturday and Sunday Masses start on May 23 & 24. I know it will be a joyful reunion to come back together again! But we must keep in mind that these are still crucial times as we continue to deal with Covid-19 in our community. Here are a few things we will implement in our Parish to make it as safe as possible for all those who enter our doors, as we continue to fight against the Coronavirus:

Weekday Masses will be celebrated in the Church starting May 19. Total capacity is 35 persons.
Sunday Masses will be celebrated in the church. Seating areas will be pre-marked to maintain proper social distancing. Our total capacity for any weekend Mass is 85 persons(70 parishioners/guests & 15 volunteers), including children and those serving in the Mass. Social distancing will be implemented.
Temperatures will be checked before entrance. There will be a check station located in the parking lot.
Parishioners and guests will enter through one set of doors - the side ramp doors, so that ushers can maintain an accurate count and direct you to your seat. All other doors will be Exit only.

¡Qué alegría cuando me dijeron: “Vamos a la casa del Señor”!
Mi querida comunidad del Inmaculado Corazón de María,
Junto con mis hermanos sacerdotes claretianos de IHM y el personal, me complace anunciar que la Arquidiócesis nos permite reanudar las misas públicas.
Las misas de lunes a viernes comenzarán el martes 19 de mayo y las misas de sábado y domingo comenzarán el 23 y 24 de mayo. ¡Sé que será regocijante el volver a compartir como comunidad de fe! Pero debemos tener en cuenta que estamos en un tiempo crucial mientras continuamos lidiando con Covid-19 en nuestra comunidad.
Aquí comparto con ustedes algunas de las normas que implementaremos en nuestra parroquia para que sea lo más seguro (possible) para todos aquellos que ingresan a traves de nuestras puertas, mientras continuamos luchando contra el Coronavirus:
1. Las misas entre semana se celebrarán en la Iglesia a partir del 19 de mayo. Lunes a Viernes 12:00 pm. 35 personas maximo. Las áreas de asientos se marcarán previamente para mantener un distanciamiento social adecuado.
2. Las misas dominicales se celebrarán en la iglesia. Las áreas de asientos se marcarán previamente para mantener un distanciamiento social adecuado. Nuestra capacidad total para cualquier misa de fin de semana, con distancia social implementada, es de 85 personas(70 feligreses/invitados & 15 voluntarios), incluyendo niños y servidores en la misa.
3. La temperatura se comprobará antes de la entrada. Habrá una estación de control ubicada en el estacionamiento.
4. Los feligreses y los invitados ingresarán a través de una de las puertas: las puertas de la rampa lateral, para que los ujieres puedan mantener un conteo preciso y dirigirle a su asiento. Todas las demás puertas serán de salidas solamente.
4. Si se encuentra en los grupos vulnerables al Coronavirus, es decir, si tiene más de 65 años y / o tiene una afección médica preexistente, como diabetes, tratamientos contra el cáncer, enfermedad pulmonar, hipertensión, asma, etc., usted No debería asistir a misa en la iglesia, sino ver nuestra transmisión en vivo. El Arzobispo continúa con la dispensa de asistencia física a la misa hasta que pase la crisis.
