"My dear brothers and sisters of St.Mary, Star of the Sea, Parish, because of the situation of possible contamination of our local water supply and the difficulty of bathing, the obligation of attending Mass this weekend has been suspended. Masses will still be celebrated, but you are not obligated to attend. Please, take care of yourselves and follow all safety directives. God bless all of you and we will see you soon. Fr. Emilio"
If you would like to have a mass celebrated for a loved one or a special intention, please contact church office at 361-758-2662 or mail in your requests with your contact information. Each person is allowed only 6 Days/Masses. This will allow those with recent deaths to offer a Mass. Once everyone who is interested in having a Mass has done so, anyone wishing to request additional masses may contact the parish to fill in the dates not taken. All Thursday masses will be Collective Masses. This means that more than one person can request a mass intention on this day.
Confessions will be made available to our parishioners at St. Mary, Star of the Sea.

Masks must be worn and social distancing must be observed. The options of behind the screen and face to face confession will be made available.
