Statement Regarding Mask Mandate
March 5, 2021
Christ the Redeemer does not plan any immediate changes to our current health and safety protocols on our campus.
Masks are still required, we’re limiting ourselves to 50-percent capacity, and we’re practicing social distancing. Gov. Abbott’s recent announcement that goes into effect next Wednesday has no bearing on our practices in the church, as houses of worship are free to make their own determination of what best serves the needs of their community. It’s one of the hallmarks of religious liberty in our society. In consultation with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and the local health community, we’re going to keep on doing what we’ve been doing. When that changes, we’ll let you know. Like you, I hope and pray it is soon. We all look forward to that day – and it’s coming – but now is not the time for it at CtR. Thank you in advance for understanding and cooperating with our protocols.
May we offer up any inconvenience we might feel as a Lenten discipline practice for the good our brothers and sisters, particularly the most vulnerable among us.
Find all schedule changes and parish updates here on this page regarding our operations and opening during the pandemic. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 281-469-5533 or office@ctrcc.com.
