Church Update

May 25, 2020

Brothers & Sisters,

This week we call to mind all those who sacrificed so much for the

freedom we now enjoy. Let us remember all their families who

have been separated from their loved ones. We continue to pray

for all our veterans and active service men and women. Let us give

thanks for their dedication to duty to preserve and protect our freedoms.

May all those whose lives were lost because of war now rest in

peace with the Lord of Peace, Jesus Christ.

Mission San Jose Church is open for visitors and especially our parishioners. The inside of the church has been partitioned off in order to comply with the guidelines. You must have a mask and perform social distancing while in the church. The best time to visit is in the morning before noon after that it becomes very warm inside. The church will be open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. but may close earlier if there is no one on the grounds.

Reminder on Sunday, June 7th at 9 a.m. we will have our parish Mass.

which will be held outdoors. Everyone is requested to bring a

chair, wear a mask, bring an umbrella, hand sanitizer and please wash your hands prior to leaving your home. Mask must be worn in order to sit in the designated area. Per the Archdioces guidelines we must keep 6ft radius distance apart. If you forget your mask, they will be available

in the gift shop. There will be volunteers available to provide instructions

and directions as you enter the Mission grounds. Again, we suggest that

our vulnerable elderly and those with preexisting health issues not to attend. Also, this is not a social gathering and everyone must exit the designated area following the Mass. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Mass will be live streamed so anyone at home will be able to view.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you on June 7th.

WELCOME HOME!
May 21, 2020 Update
Brothers & Sisters,
I hope you all are doing well and being safe!
We all have been reading and hearing about
Archbishop Gustavo decision to open the churches
for Mass this weekend (May 23-24)   This is great news for the Church of
San Antonio but remains very challenging for us.
The guidelines for group gatherings remain in force and
for us to be in in compliance only 30 parishioners or less would be able to
attend Mass inside the church.

In order to accommodate as many parishioners as we can our Masses
will be held outdoors until further notice.   In preparation for Mass all ministers
and ushers need to receive required instructions on safety, hygiene and distancing.
The following is our current schedule for Mass
Sunday, May 24, 2020 9 a.m.
This Mass is for ministers/ushers only.   It is not open to the public The Mass will be livestreamed.

Sunday, May 31, 2020 9 a.m. (Mass will be live streamed from Mission San Juan) No Mass at Mission San Jose.

Sunday, June 7, 2020    9 a.m. Opening Mass Mission San Jose parishioners only.

In the event of inclement weather, we will send out notices via email, text, Facebook, website.
Guidelines for attending the Mass on June 7^th will be posted on Facebook and Website.
Again, thank you for your patience and understanding during this time. Your safety is our number one priority and we are doing everything we can to implement procedures that assure your well-being.

Fr. Rogelio Martinez, ofm

God Bless You all!

Church Updates regarding Virus
Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Matt 28:20 “I am with you always”

My dear people of God, dear brothers and sisters. Dear sons and daughters. I am Fr Rogelio Martinez, ofm Pastor of Mission San Jose Church and Mission San Juan Capistrano.
We are facing difficult times due to the COVID 19/Corona Virus, to such a degree that it has affected us in many ways. You have heard me preach many times on how we should show what we believe, show our faith with our actions, words and behaviors. Now is the time when we are being challenged to do just that.
Our Lord Jesus Christ is with us and He is helping us during this time of tribulations. We are in the midst of the Lenten Season which is a time to pray, give alms and fast. Let us pray for our parish, our diocese and the universal church. Let us pray for all of those who need healing both physical and spiritual, let us also pray that this virus comes to an end. Let us give more time to the Lord, and to attend to those who are in need of our compassion and generosity. I can proudly say that in these two missions, we are people of faith, people who welcomes the stranger, people who pray together and stay together during difficult times.

Both parishes will follow the decree issued by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller.
- The Sunday obligational masses are hereby dispensed for all Catholics effective immediately as well as
other masses in chapels
- Weddings and Quinceañeras will continue at Mission San Jose under the current policy
- Funeral masses will continue if the deceased is a registered parishioner or lives within the boundaries of our parish
- Reconciliation on Saturdays is cancelled, but confession for parishioners may be scheduled by appointment only.
- The Archdiocese has postponed Confirmation until further notice
- We have also suspended visiting the sick, but encourage telephone visits and prayers
- The Mission church will continue to be open for personal prayer Monday – Thursday between the hours of 8:00am thru 4:30Pm. The chapel will remain closed
- Non-essential meetings and gatherings are cancelled, this includes Religious Education classes
- Our Gift Shop will remain closed until further notice
- Office hours will continue its normal hours but can change and notice will be sent out
As you are aware, both parishes have to cover expenses during this pandemic. As always, we depend upon your supportive contributions to meet those expenses. You may continue sending your donations in the following way:
- Online giving by going to missionsanjosechurch.org and hit the DONATE button.
- Mail your weekly envelopes to 701 E. Pyron Ave., San Antonio, Texas 78214
- Use your bank’s Bill Pay feature, set the church as vendor and your weekly envelope number as your account number
- Or drop your envelope in the mail slot located in the office front door.
Please keep in mind, our church is visited by tourists from around the World and our goal is to protect as many parishioners and visitors as possible. I encourage prayers, praying the rosary, reading scripture and viewing masses via television or electronic media. I have scheduled a Facebook “live streaming” of the Feast Day of St. Joseph on Thursday, March 19 beginning at 11:00am, then every Sunday at 11:00am we will “live stream”. We will also “live stream” praying the rosary daily at 11:00am.

We are going to get through this with unity and prayer. Let’s stay together be one, be strong and be church. You are the church, we are the church, and the church goes where we go. It is time to evangelize and show that we are the people of God. It has been highly encouraged from the different local and universal authorities to STAY HOME. During your time at home, pray as a family, reconcile with each other, laugh, be creative and pray, pray, and pray. It has been very difficult for me to cancel all church activities including the most sacred one, THE HOLY MASS, every time I have my private masses, be assured of my prayers for ALL of you. Please be assured of my prayers to you as I will be counting on your prayers for me. May almighty God bless us all in the name of the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit, AMEN.

Fr. Rogelio
