Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced that effective March 10, 2021, he would lift the mandate to wear masks in public, and announced that businesses could operate at 100% capacity. San Antonio Archbishop Gustavo García-Siller, MSpS, has determined, after reviewing the governor’s order, and after seeking advice from health authorities and local civic officials, that all of the
safety measures in place at the current time are to be continued throughout the Archdiocese of San Antonio until further notice. This regards the use of face coverings or masks; social distancing; hand washing; and regular use of sanitizing procedures that have been effective in keeping us safe. These will not be changed at this time. Pastors are asked to continue offering the parish Masses to the faithful via livestreaming or by other video means.
