#108: Pastoral Considerations for Re-Opening Parishes (with Andrea Ramos)

Many Dioceses across the country are in its first few weeks returning to public Masses since the COVID-19 lockdown began in early to mid-March. But to the Diocese of Austin, public masses have been in place for a month already. What have they discovered so far? How did they inform and educate both their English and Spanish-speaking communities, in terms of what to expect upon returning to their parishes for the Mass? Is there anything we can take away from the weeks that the Diocese of Austin have already experienced?

Iā€™m grateful to speak to Andrea Ramos today to discuss just that. Andrea is the Associate Director for Music in the Diocese of Austin. She offers assistance to parishes concerning liturgical music. Andrea also serves as the Director of the Diocesan Choir.

Andrea joins us today from the Diocese of Austin. 

Thanks again to Andrea for her willingness to share her experiences so far in re-opening. For more information on the Diocese of Austin and their virtual liturgical offerings at this time, visit www.austindiocese.org.
