 The United States Conference of Bishops have an article “Celiac disease, alcohol intolerance and the Church’s Pastoral Response” which states the following -

The most recent Church teaching on the use of mustum and low-gluten hosts at Mass remains the letter from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger on July 24, 2003 (Prot. n. 89/78-17498), which was addressed to the Presidents of Conferences of Bishops. In that letter, pastors and the faithful are reminded that for bread to be valid matter for the Eucharist, it must be made solely of wheat, contain enough gluten to effect the confection of bread, be free of foreign materials, and unaffected by any preparation or baking methods which would alter its nature. The amount of gluten necessary for validity in such bread is not determined by minimum percentage or weight, though hosts which have no gluten are considered invalid matter for Mass. (In the Roman Rite, the bread prepared for the Eucharist must also be unleavened.)

Reopening Updates

As of many of you are aware, the State of California has begun a reopening plan this week. As we all wish to resume our normal life, this will be a gradual process. Below are some changes that St. Catherine Church will begin, in accordance to Diocesan policy.

Our Church renovation has begun; therefore, all masses will be taking place in the O'Donnell Parish Center for the duration of the renovation.

The amount of attendees will increase as to the space allows following the new protocols.
 
Reservations are no longer needed to attend mass. 

Fully vaccinated assembly members are encouraged but not required to wear masks at indoor worships as long as social distancing between households is maintained. Non-vaccinated assembly members are asked to continue to wear masks at indoor worship per CDC and state protocols.
 
Social distancing protocols will continue to be followed with the new guidelines of three feet in lieu of six feet.
 
Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, and Presider are not required to wear a mask if they are more than six feet away from the public.
 
We are working remotely to serve our parish community. If you are interested or in need of conducting business in person, the Parish Office will be open Tuesdays and Thursdays by appointment. To schedule an appointment or if you have any questions, please feel free to call the Parish Office.
 
We thank you for your continued patience and understanding during the renovation and this gradual reopening.

Actualización de Reapertura

Como muchos de ustedes saben, el estado de California ha iniciado un plan de reapertura esta semana. Como todos deseamos reanudar nuestra vida normal, este será un proceso gradual. A continuación, se presentan algunos cambios que comenzará la Iglesia de Santa Catalina, de acuerdo con la política diocesana.

La renovación de nuestra Iglesia ha comenzado; por lo tanto, todas las misas se llevarán a cabo en el Centro Parroquial O'Donnell mientras dure la renovación.

La cantidad de asistentes aumentará a medida que el espacio permita seguir los nuevos protocolos.

Ya no se requieren reservaciones para asistir a misa. 

Les aconsejamos a parroquianos completamente vacunados, pero no se les exige, que usen cubre bocas en las misas, siempre que mantengan el distanciamiento social entre los hogares.  Se solicita a los parroquianos no vacunados que continúen usando cubre bocas en las misas según los protocolos estatales y de los CDC.

Se seguirán los protocolos del distanciamiento social con los nuevos protocolos de tres pies en lugar de seis pies.

Los lectores, ministros de la Eucaristía y el sacerdote no están obligados a usar un cubre bocas si están a más de seis pies del público.

Trabajamos de forma remota para servir a nuestra comunidad parroquial. Si está interesado o necesita hacer negocios en persona, la Oficina Parroquial estará abierta los martes y jueves con cita previa. Para programar una cita o si tiene alguna pregunta, no dude en llamar a la Oficina Parroquial.

Le agradecemos su paciencia y comprensión continua durante la renovación y esta reapertura gradual.
