Church Update

UPDATE
April 2, 2020
Dear Parishioners,
Like all of you, we are finding it hard to take in all the news about COVID-19. Everything from March Madness to Fiesta to school and work schedules and yes, even the normal liturgical practice of our Catholic faith has been interrupted by the coronavirus. We pray that you and your families remain safe while the coronavirus runs its course. We pray particularly for those most directly affected by the virus.
Archbishop Gustavo will re-access the situation on April 30, 2020 and we await his guidance.
However, as you are aware, Mission San Jose’s expenses continue even during this pandemic. As always, we depend upon your supportive contributions to meet those expenses. Since you are not attending Sunday Mass, you might continue your contributions in any of the several ways:

         *Consider becoming an Online giving donor (directions below)
         * Mail your donation to Mission San Jose, 701 E. Pyron, San Antonio, TX 78214
         * Use your bank’s Bill Pay feature. Ask them to send a check to Mission San Jose,
             701 E Pyron, San Antonio, TX 78214
         *For your convenience you might want to become a monthly rather than weekly donor.

Online Giving- Log onto https://missionsanjosechurch.org/ and hit the DONATE button. If you need help                             navigating the page just give the office a call.
We appreciate your commitment and generous support for our parish community of faith and its many good works. May God bless and watch over all of us in these troubling times.

God bless you,

Mission San Jose Finance Council
Fr. Rogelio                Br. Kevin

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
