Mask Mandate

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As you have likely heard COVID directives are quickly changing throughout the country. With the latest pronouncements by the president, the CDC and our local governments, some changes will be effective this weekend. Masks and social distancing will no longer be required. However, those who have not been vaccinated are strongly encouraged to continue wearing masks and if desired distanced seating will still be available in the overflow and narthex areas. The parish will not be checking your status of vaccinations in any way but please remember it is an act of charity to help protect the health of others.

Please continue to pray for a quick end to this pandemic.

Fr. Kirk J. Slattery

Corpus Christi Procession

In honor of The Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi), please join the parish for a Eucharistic Procession on Sunday, June 6, immediately following the 10:00 AM Mass. We will process around the full perimeter of the church property, on the sidewalks along Research, Austin Bluffs and Coach House Drive, culminating with Benediction in the nave. For the first time, we will be able to share our joy for the Eucharistic Sacrament with our larger neighborhood, when the procession is seen on the sidewalks near the busier thoroughfares. If your child received First Communion this year, they are invited to take a special place of honor in the procession, to celebrate their reception of this Sacrament. They are invited to wear their First Communion outfits. Please contact Kathy Thomas at kthomas at saintgabriel.net<mailto:kthomas at saintgabriel.net>, to RSVP for your child's participation
