WE ARE EXCITED TO WELCOME EVERYONE BACK TO MASS!
June 15, the state of California began to fully re-open its economy. As a result, churches are allowed to put aside many of the restrictions we have been operating under and welcome our members back to public worship! We hope the information below will be helpful to you in joining us for in person Mass. While we keep in prayer those parts of the world still struggling with COVID -19, we are grateful to gather together again as a community for the worship of God.
Please Note: The Diocese of Oakland has provided recommendations and guidelines only for Liturgy and Worship. We are still awaiting guidelines for all other types of events and meetings (committee meetings, council meetings, ministry meetings, receptions, social events, classes, etc.). Once we receive guidelines for these and other activities we will move as quickly as possible to welcome all the various users of our space back to the Catholic Community of Pleasanton.
ST. AUGUSTINE CHURCH WEEKEND MASS SCHEDULING STARTING JUNE 19 & 20
MASKS NOW REQUIRED IN CHURCH
In compliance with the new order issued for all Bay Area Counties, masks are required indoors, regardless of vaccination status, effective midnight tonight, August 2, 2021. This applies to Mass and any indoor gatherings at the Catholic Community of Pleasanton.
SIGN OF PEACE
The Sign of Peace should still be exchanged without physical contact, except for family members.

We will have four Communion stations to distribute the Holy Eucharist at Mass. All ministers of Holy Communion must wear masks. The Diocese is not authorizing the distribution of the Precious Blood for the time being.

Each Mass at St. Augustine Church will have a different color single use worship aid. When Mass has ended, there will be receptacles at the exits to place your worship aid for recycling.
MUSIC
The 10:00 AM Mass, which will be livestreamed on Facebook and You Tube, will feature once again the Adult Choir, who will be back in full strength in September. The 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM "Evening Liturgies" have a worship experience especially geared for youth, teens, and their families. The musical selections and arrangements are very lively and contemporary in nature and the Children's Choir (who will be singing at 4:00 PM) and Teen Choir (who will be singing at 6:00 PM) are accompanied by a full band of piano, guitar, bass, and drums. The 5:00 PM, 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM Masses are led by a cantor with piano accompaniment, and often with an additional instrumentalist, including violin and recorder.
