ANNOUNCEMENT:
Due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the Victoria, Port Lavaca, and surrounding hospitals, Father Felix Twumasi, currently serving as parochial vicar at St. Rose of Lima Parish in Schulenburg, has been appointed the temporary hospital chaplain for the Victoria Deanery. He will begin his service, effective Wednesday, July 22, as the diocesan sacramental minister for those hospitalized and suffering from COVID-19. We are grateful for Father Felix’s willingness to serve in this capacity and to minister to God’s people who are ill and suffering from this virus. He will reside at Holy Family Catholic Church rectory in Victoria, for the duration of his service in this capacity.
It appears that the majority of COVID-19 patients are in hospitals in Victoria and Port Lavaca. If and when the need arises for a COVID-19 patient to be anointed, in a hospital other than in Victoria or Port Lavaca, Father Felix will be available to celebrate the anointing, should a pastor have a preexisting health condition or is at an age when he believes he should not engage in such pastoral situations.

Fr. Felix – we will miss you in Schulenburg while you are away from us, and we will pray for your safety in this ministry!
