MESSAGE TO HOLY GHOST PARISHIONERS
Dear Holy Ghost Parishioners,
Today we learned that three members of the Redemptorists community living and working at Holy Ghost Parish have tested positive for COVID-19. While the individuals themselves are asymptomatic, they, and the other members of the community, are in quarantine in the residence isolated from the others. All members of the household have been tested and are awaiting results.

One of the individuals who tested positive has been active in celebrating public Masses at Holy Ghost since the Church reopened on May 2, 2020. If anyone has attended Masses in person at Holy Ghost Church since the reopening, we strongly encourage you to monitor your health for any symptoms and be tested for COVID-19, as a precautionary measure.

There are a number of free COVID-19 testing sites in our community. For a list of testing sites, please call the City of Houston Health Department at 832-393-4220 or visit www.houstonemergency.org/covid19-testing.

1. Just what scripture dictates: go forth and cause illness.

5. 3 people. Have they traced it? Did they go anywhere after mass?

I’d think it’d be higher then 3.

10. They live at the rectory (They are ordained or live with ordained people)

A priest died on May 13. I don't know if the priest referenced is the one who died or there are two priests who have Covid 19.

12. Thanks! That makes sense. Sad of course.

2. They should have taken their cues from the folks at Lourdes

When they shut down the miracle water, there are no easy cures.

3. All you had to do was sit at home and go nowhere (aka NOTHING)

And you had to go worship an imaginary being, now lots will get sick and some will die.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS NOTHING!!!

4. Houston, we have ignition.

6. I hope that they were not singing, although if they did the Mass in Latin, problemo. nt

7. The number of people listening to Red Don is gob smacking, there are even strawman arguments on DU

... talking about skyrocketing cases vs the high death rate we have now.

The bots are out

8. I haven't missed an Easter Mass for anything but serious illness since the 'eighties.

(Shit you don't know about Hunter...)

I suppose this year counts as serious illness as well, but not in my accustomed manner.

Usually it's ME who is sick.

Pandemics are something unfamiliar to me.

Our church is streaming services.

9. These three are living in the rectory!

A priest died suddenly on May 13th, and the attending physician thought it might have been Covid 19. So, they tested everyone.

Redemptorists are an order.

11. Misleading header,they are not parishioners

13. That's about a 10 minute drive from me.

Thanks a lot, Abbott.
