hen from the cloud came a voice that said, "This is my
chosen Son; listen to him." After the voice had spoken,
Jesus was found alone. They fell silent and did not at
that time tell anyone what they had seen.

escogido; escúchenlo". Cuando cesó la voz, se quedó
Jesús solo. Los discípulos guardaron silencio y por
entonces no dijeron a nadie nada de lo que habían visto.

Welcome to St. Therese Parish · Appleton, WI
“Notes from Fr. Bill”
Blessed Father Elías Nieves
The Augustinian priest, Fra Elías del Socorro, (Mateo
Elías Nieves del Castillo) died a martyr on March 10th,
1928 in Cortazar, Mexico. At that time he was the pastor
of Our Lady of Sorrows parish in La Cañada, Guanajuato,
MX; many of our parishioners are from La Cañada or the
surrounding towns and villages.
“I will not abandon you, neither alive nor dead.”
These were the words of Fr. Nieves to his people when
ordered by the Mexican government to abandon his parish. It was a return to the catacombs of persecution of the
church in the Roman empire …Fr. Nieves living in a cave
outside of town for fourteen months. The faithful journeyed to that cave as to a chapel in the catacombs, to be
able to go to Confession, assist at Mass, have their children baptized, to celebrate their faith.
Not far away is the ranch “San Pablo” (St. Paul) where
the bothers Jesús and Dolores Sierra lived (28 and 21
years old respectively). Fr. Nieves was detained by the
military in their home, and these two young men refused
to abandon their parish priest …they were assassinated
before his eyes. It’s a formidable testimony of their faith
and solidarity put to test at an early age.
My return trip to La Cañada last November was very
special for me …leading me to a deeper appreciation for
the love and devotion that so many of our parishioners
have for Fr. Nieves. This coming Sunday they invite us
to join in celebrating the feast day of “Padre Elías” ..there
will be food, and a dramatization of his life. Won’t you
join us!
Beato Padre Elías Nieves
El sacerdote Augustino, Fray Elías del Socorro
Nieves (Mateo Elías Nieves del Castillo) murió
mártir el 10 de marzo, 1928 en Cortazar, Mex. En
ese momento fue párroco de Ntra. Señora de Los
Dolores en La Cañada, GTO. Mex; muchos miembros
de nuestra parroquia son de La Cañada o pueblos y
ranchos cercanos.
“No los abandonaré ni vivo ni muerto…” Estos
fueron las palabras del Padre Nieves a su gente cuando
el gobierno le mandó abandonar su parroquia. Fue
regresar a los tiempos de las catacumbas en la
persecución de la Iglesia por el Imperio Romano …
Padre Nieves vivió 14 meses en una cueva fuera del
pueblo. Los fieles visitaron esa cueva como a una
capilla en las catacumbas, para asistir a la Misa,
confesarse y comulgar, bautizar a sus hijos y vivir su
fe.
No muy lejos está la hacienda San Pablo, donde
vivían los hermanos Jesús y Dolores Sierra, de 28 y 21
años respectivamente, en cuya casa fue detenido el
Padre y ellos mismos, que, por negarse a abandonarlo,
pese a ofrecérseles la libertad, fueron asesinados antes
que él. Testimonio formidable de una fe y fidelidad a
toda prueba, en lo mejor de sus vidas.
Mi regreso a La Cañada el noviembre pasado fue
algo muy especial para mi … llevándome a un aprecio
más profundo del amor y devoción que tantos
feligreses nuestros tienen para Padre Nieves. Este
próximo domingo ellos nos invitan a celebrar la fiesta
del “Beato Padre Nieves” ..habrá comida y un drama
de su vida. ¿Por qué no acompañarnos?!
“The faith I have when I am in the Presence of the Blessed Sacrament is so strong that I find it impossible to express what I feel…
When the time comes to leave I must force myself to overcome the inclination to prolong my stay with Jesus.”

“La fe que tengo cuando estoy en la presencia del Santísimo Sacramento es tan fuerte que me resulta imposible expresar lo que
siento… Cuando llega el momento de salir tengo que esforzarme en no prolonger mi estancia con Jesús.”
Operation Rice Bowl
Second Week of Lent - The Transfiguration
Jesus' transfiguration was a moment of hope for the
disciples, giving them the strength to endure the future
sacrifices they would make as they formed the early
Church. As we continue our journey with Catholic Relief
Services' Operation Rice Bowl, let us be mindful that
our Lenten sacrifices help to give hope to our
brothers and sisters in need.
Operación Plato de Arroz
Segunda Semana de Cuaresma: La Transfiguración
La Transfiguración de Jesús fue un momento de
esperanza para los discípulos, que les dio la fortaleza
para soportar los sacrificios que tendrían que hacer por
la Iglesia. Al continuar nuestra jornada con la
Operación Plato de Arroz, seamos conscientes de que
nuestros sacrificios de Cuaresma les llevan esperanza
a nuestros hermanos y hermanas necesitados.
