Catholic Church & School
Celebrating Over 100 Years of Catholic Tradition
Welcome back to the celebration of Mass
in our beautiful Church!
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
Next week’s opening of the Church is only the beginning of our celebration in turning
the corner on the pandemic. But like a Tsunami, as the large wave recedes, we still need to
keep an eye on the ocean waves, so that we are not taken by surprise, and to do everything
reasonable to remain healthy. With this in mind, our opening of the Church for regular
services will be done in a phased and slow manner. It will be good to be back in the Church
building, but always remember that WE are the Church, whether we are in a parking lot or in a
building we call “the Church.” Next week, as we celebrate Independence Day, we will also
celebrate our return to Mass inside the Church with “spiritual” fireworks. We will open the
doors to a new journey, one of community building and walking as true disciples. During the
past 18 months, it may have seemed as if we were cast out on our own, but rest assured, God
was always with us, and continues to be present for us.
So, what does a “phased opening” mean? Basically, we will open the Church
gradually, adding Masses as attendance increases. This means that we will continue to have
three (3) Sunday Masses at 10:00 a.m. (English), 12:30 p.m. (Spanish), and 5:00 p.m.
(English). There will be no 3:00 p.m. Mass on Sunday. The 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Masses
will move back into the Church. Many of you have indicated that you would feel more
comfortable having Mass in the parking lot, and so we will continue to celebrate the 5:00 p.m.
Mass in the parking lot. We will also move our Tuesday and Friday evening services back into
the Church.
Accompanying the move back into the Church are some changes to the guidelines
according to which Mass will be celebrated. These include:
No occupancy limits on Mass attendance.
No social distancing will be required, and tracing information will no longer be taken.
No disinfecting or cleaning between Masses as expected during the pandemic.
As for face coverings, we encourage all to continue wearing masks, however we will
also follow the CDC guidelines which indicate that:
Fully vaccinated persons no longer need to wear a mask in any setting.
Unvaccinated persons are encouraged to wear face coverings.
Communion will continue to be distributed only in one form – The Body of Christ.
For more details on the new guidelines, we invite you to access our Return to Church
page on the St. Augustine Website - https://st-augustine-church.org/.
Blessings, Fr. Chris

June 27, 2021 Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear St. Augus ne Community,
I’ve never been very good at saying good-bye. I figure that has mostly to do with how I’m actually
pre y good at saying goodbye. You see, growing up, my family had to say goodbye a lot. With three
siblings in the army, we made a lot of trips to the airport to wish them farewell as they le for
deployment to another country or a new assignment in a different state. And we have a rule: don’t look
back. Once we’ve already said goodbye, and it’s me to walk down that jetway or start through security,
don’t look back—it will only make things harder! Well, we may have done that only to protect ourselves
from having to feel more of the goodbye. But s ll, I learned how to say goodbye and to know when it was
said. I men on all this so that if it seems I say my farewells and I don’t look back while moving on, it’s one
of the ways I’ve always known how to show love.
That doesn’t make saying goodbye any easier, trust me. And it definitely does not mean I’ll just
forget about my me here and move on. And no way does it mean that we won’t see each other again—
or if we do that I’ll ignore you or pretend not to see you! What it means is that it’s me for me to take the
next step that is the adventure of the priesthood, and that means saying goodbye as I know how to.
Please know that I am not comparing this goodbye to anything less than how I say it to my own family. I
grew up in a house and a family that taught me what it’s like to love and forgive and apologize and
pray—a domes c church. I learned how to become a Chris an at home, in my family. I’ve learned how to
become a priest here at St. Augus ne. This is where I’ve learned to love people with the heart of a priest.
This is where I’ve learned to forgive with Jesus’ own words in the Sacrament of Reconcilia on. This is
where I’ve learned to say sorry for my own selfishness in the face of my great responsibility as a priest.
This is where I’ve learned more about my own deep need for prayer.
I’m sorry that so much of my me here in this last year and a half has been hidden away by this
pandemic. I just want you to know I’ve been in the Church almost every night, praising and worshiping the
Lord for all those who could not be in there with me. It was not the way that I had hoped to end my me
here, but it is the me that Lord has given to us. Now He is calling me into a new mission, serving the
youth of the Archdiocese as a high school chaplain. God knows be er than I do what I’m capable of, and
that I need your prayers as I move forward. So even though it may seem like I don’t look back a er saying
my goodbyes, that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgo en you. I never will. This will always be my first home as
a priest. God’s peace!

¡Bienvenido de nuevo a la celebración de la Santa Misa en nuestra hermosa Iglesia!
Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo:
La reapertura de la iglesia esta próxima semana es solo el comienzo de nuestra celebración para dar la vuelta a
la pandemia. Pero como un Tsunami, a medida que la gran ola retrocede, todavía tenemos que estar atentos a las olas del
océano, para que no nos tomen por sorpresa, y hacer todo lo razonable para mantenernos sanos. Con esto en mente,
nuestra reapertura de la Iglesia para los servicios regulares se realizará de una manera gradual y lenta. Será bueno volver
al edificio de la Iglesia, pero siempre recuerden que nosotros somos la Iglesia, ya sea estemos en el estacionamiento o en
un edificio que llamamos "la Iglesia”. La próxima semana, mientras celebramos el Día de la Independencia, también
celebraremos nuestro regreso a la Santa Misa dentro del edificio de la Iglesia con “pirotecnia espiritual". Abriremos las
puertas a un nuevo viaje, construyendo la comunidad y caminando juntos como verdaderos discípulos. Durante los
últimos 18 meses, puede haber parecido como si fuéramos expulsados por nuestra cuenta, pero tengamos la seguridad de
que Dios siempre estuvo con nosotros, y continúa estando presente para nosotros.
Entonces, ¿qué significa una "reapertura gradual"? Básicamente, abriremos la Iglesia gradualmente, agregando
Misas a medida que aumente la asistencia. Esto significa que continuaremos teniendo tres (3) misas dominicales: a las
10:00 a. m. (inglés), 12:30 p. m. (español), y 5:00 p. m. (inglés). Ya no habrá Misa a las 3:00 p. m. los domingos. Las
Misas a las 10:00 a. m. ya las 12:30 p. m. se moverá de nuevo dentro del edificio de la Iglesia. Muchos de ustedes han
indicado que se sentirían más cómodos teniendo la Misa en el estacionamiento, y por lo que seguiremos celebrando la
Misa a las 5:00 p. m. en el estacionamiento los domingos. También trasladaremos nuestros Misas de los martes y
viernes por la noche nuevamente al edificio de la Iglesia.
Acompañando el regreso al edificio de la Iglesia hay algunos cambios en las pautas según las cuales se celebrará
la Misa. Estas pautas incluyen:
No hay límites en el número de personas que deseen asistir a Misa.
Ya no se requerirá distanciamiento social y ya no se tomará información de rastreo.
No desinfectar o limpiar entre Misas como se esperaba durante la pandemia.
Alentamos a todos a que se pongan mascarillas, pero también seguiremos las pautas de los CDC que
indican que:
Las personas completamente vacunadas ya no necesitan usar una mascarilla en ningún entorno.
Se recomienda a las personas no vacunadas que usen cubrebocas.
La comunión continuará distribuyéndose sólo en una forma – El Cuerpo de Cristo.
Para obtener más detalles sobre las nuevas pautas, lo invitamos a acceder a nuestra página de Regreso a la
Iglesia en el sitio web de San Agustín -- https://st-augustine-church.org/. 6

El 27 de Junio de 2021 El Décimo Tercero Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Querida Comunidad de San Agustín,
Nunca he sido muy bueno en decir adiós. Me imagino que tiene que ver con lo bueno que
soy para decir adiós. Al crecer, mi familia tuvo que despedirse mucho. Con dos hermanos y una
hermana en el ejército, hicimos muchos viajes al aeropuerto para desearles adiós cuando
partieron para el despliegue en otro país o a una nueva asignación en un estado diferente. Y
tenemos una regla: no mires hacia atrás. Una vez que nos hayamos dicho adiós, y es hora de
caminar por esa pasarela o comenzar a pasar por seguridad, no mires hacia atrás. ¡Solo hará las
cosas más difíciles! Tal vez hicimos eso solo para protegernos de tener que sentir más el adiós.
Pero aún así, aprendí a decir adiós y a saber cuándo se decía. Menciono todo esto para que si
parece que me despido y no miro hacia atrás mientras sigo adelante, es una de las formas que
siempre he conocido de mostrar amor.
Eso no hace que decir adiós sea más fácil, créeme. Y definitivamente no significa que
simplemente me olvidaré de mi tiempo aquí y seguiré adelante. Y de ninguna manera significa
que no nos volveremos a ver o, si lo hacemos, que les ignoraré a ustedes o fingiré no verlos. Lo
que significa es que es hora de que dé el siguiente paso que es la aventura del sacerdocio, y eso
significa decir adiós como sé cómo hacerlo. Por favor, sepan que no estoy comparando este adiós
con nada menos que cómo me despido de mi propia familia. Crecí en una familia que me enseñó
lo que es amar y perdonar, disculparme y orar, una iglesia doméstica. Aprendí a ser cristiano en
casa, en mi familia. He aprendido a ser sacerdote aquí en San Agustín. Aquí es donde he
aprendido a amar a las personas con el corazón de un sacerdote. Aquí es donde he aprendido a
perdonar con las propias palabras de Jesús en el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Aquí es donde
he aprendido a pedir perdón por mi propio egoísmo frente a mi gran responsabilidad como
sacerdote. Aquí es donde he aprendido más acerca de mi propia necesidad profunda de oración.
Lamento que gran parte de mi tiempo aquí en este último año y medio haya sido ocultado
por esta pandemia. Solo quiero que sepan que he estado en la Iglesia casi todas las noches,
alabando y adorando al Señor por todos aquellos que no pudieron estar allí conmigo. No era la
forma en que esperaba terminar mi tiempo aquí, pero es el tiempo que el Señor nos ha dado.
Ahora Él me está llamando a una nueva misión, sirviendo a los jóvenes de la Arquidiócesis como
capellán de la escuela secundaria. Dios sabe mejor que yo lo que soy capaz de hacer, y que
necesito sus oraciones mientras sigo adelante. Entonces, aunque pueda parecer que no miro hacia
atrás después de despedirme, eso no significa que les haya olvidado a ustedes. Nunca lo haré.
Este siempre será mi primer hogar como sacerdote. ¡La paz de Dios esté con todos ustedes!
P. Tim Grumbach
