FROM THE PASTOR,
As we begin our new year we continue to remember our past. One of the most interesting stories is that Father
Creegan, appointed to be pastor of Saint Mary's while he was in Hailey overseeing the birth of Sun Valley, was truly
surprised by the appointment.
Father John J. Creegan came to Boise without a church or a rectory in the fall of 1937. The church was soon to
be finished and was dedicated [not consecrated] on December 19, 1937 by Bishop Edward J. Kelly. But Father
Creegan had to live on the third floor of the Cathedral rectory until the rectory of Saint Mary's was finished in the
summer of 1938.
He had a daunting job before him, and he set to work making a new parish happen.
Father Tom Faucher, Pastor
Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
“La velocidad del tiempo”
Hace apenas algunas semanas nos preparábamos para recibir la Navidad, el Año Nuevo, los Santos Reyes y tal vez
para muchos sin pensar en el futuro, los eventos ya pasaron, recontando lo que hace 2000 años, pasaron y lo disfrutamos, para algunos de nosotros de manera sencilla pero con alegría; pero para otros no fue así por causas no previstas, inesperadas, cosas que solamente Dios sabía. Hoy en el presente muchos nos preparamos para seguir cumpliendo las exigencias de la vida. Trabajando para poder realizar los presupuestos para el año 2012. Paremos un
momento para reflexionar; si todos nuestros planes los ponemos en las manos de Dios Nuestro Señor, de seguro
que todo obtendremos más fácil, pero si lo hacemos únicamente con nuestros propios esfuerzos, los resultados no
serán igual. Muchos se creen lo que dicen otros—que el mundo llega a su fin este año hasta se atreven a calcular
cosas para 355 días. Hace miles de años, que sí, los Mayas fueron una civilización maravillosa, pero ¿sobre la voluntad de Dios Padre? Hay que estar preparados para cada momento hasta que Dios nos llame. Oremos.
Dios nos Bendiga
Su servidor, Diacono Jorge
Time Flies
Just a few weeks ago we were in preparation for Christmas, for New Year and the Feast of the Epiphany (three wise
men) and some may have forgotten to prepare for the future. The event had already passed recalling what had happened more than two thousand years ago. Yes we enjoyed these events, for some they were great simple moments,
for others not so great because of unexpected events; only God knew such things. At the present time many of us
are in preparation to keep-up with the demands of life. We are working to realize resolutions for this year 2012. Stop
for a moment to reflect: if all of us put in God’s hands our plans, for sure we will obtain whatever we are working for.
If we try to do things only with own efforts they may not be as we expected. There are some who believe on what
others say; that the end of the world will happen on this year 2012. They even specify the day. They believe in the
Mayan Calendar as a prophecy, without considering God’s will? Only God knows when that day will come and we
should be preparing for when that day come. Let us pray.
God Bless us all
Your servant, Deacon Jorge
