July 15th Update:
Indoor Worship Has Been Suspended
On Monday, July 13th, Bishop Soto announced the suspension of indoor Masses. Quoting from his letter, “The rising number of infections and deaths due to COVID-19, is alarming. Even as we exercise all the necessary precautions in our churches, the risk of infection is greater. Governor Gavin Newsom announced [yesterday], the suspension of most indoor activities, including church services, in thirty counties in the State of California. We must continue to be good neighbors, especially for the sake of the most vulnerable. I direct you to cooperate with State and local public health officials. The counties affected in our diocese are: Colusa, Glenn, Placer, Sacramento, Solano, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba, effective immediately.”
Following Diocesan guidelines, St. Teresa of Avila has prepared to celebrate a very limited number of outdoor Masses. We will begin by celebrating one Mass on the plaza (outside the sanctuary) on Sunday mornings at 8:00 AM. Chairs will be set up (socially distanced) on the plaza, and parishioners may bring lawn chairs and socially distance under the trees in the surrounding area if they wish. The church will have some chairs available to use. For this coming Sunday, the sound system will likely not be adequate. Please be patient while we look at equipment options. (Our only other option was to cancel Mass this weekend.)
The following diocesan directives still apply to worshipping outdoors:
- Reservations will still be required, and seating on the plaza will be limited.
- Those who already had reservations for the 8:00 AM Mass this weekend were automatically moved to the 8:00 AM Mass on the plaza. If you do not plan to attend on the plaza, please go online to cancel your reservation or call the parish office so someone else can use your reservation.
- Those who already had reservations for other Mass times this weekend were automatically moved to the 8:00 AM Mass under the trees. You will need to bring your own chairs or borrow and set up one from the church. If you have any physical limitations and need assistance, please call the parish office.
- Masks must be worn, and physical distancing must be observed by everyone in attendance for the entire celebration of the Mass, even though it is outdoors. No exceptions. For the protection of the ministers, communion cannot be received without a mask.
- Contact tracing is required by the Diocese and will be done through the reservation system.
For those who prefer to participate in Mass from home, a 10:30 AM Mass will be livestreamed on Facebook and recorded for posting and the website. No one is to be in attendance, and the doors will be locked, and outdoor speakers will be turned off. Live streamed Masses can be found on Facebook.
Confessions will continue to be offered on Saturday between 3:00 and 4:30 PM or by appointment. Daily Mass will be held on the plaza Tuesday through Friday at 8:30 AM under the same guidelines listed above. The sanctuary will be open for private prayer between 8:00-2:30.
Thank you for your patience during this very challenging time.
In Christ,
Fr. Innocent Subiza -
