Holy Family Catholic Church
is one of Tucson’s historic landmarks. Built in the Mission style in
1913 in the Hispanic Dunbar Springs neighborhood and close to the University of Arizona, it was consecrated
on Jan. 14, 1915 by Msgr. Henry R. Granjon, third Bishop of Tucson (1900-1922).
Holy Family Parish is Tucson’s oldest Catholic parish. Its first pastor Fr. Lucas of St. Joseph O.C.D. and his
associate Fr. Eduardo of the Child Jesus O.C.D. were beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on October 28 in 2007,
the Feast of Christ the King.
Today Holy Family Catholic Church is the home of both Holy Family Parish and St. Gianna Oratory with
the Traditional Latin Liturgy. Both communities are under the care of the Institute of Christ the King
Sovereign Priest. Bl. Lucas and Bl. Eduardo, pray for us!

FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY TRINITY A.D. 2011
EPISTLE: Romans 11: 33-36
Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Romans.
O the depth of the riches of the wisdom and of the knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are His judgments, and how unsearchable His ways! For who hath known the mind of
the Lord? Or who hath been His counselor? Or who hath first given to Him, and recompense
shall be made Him? For of Him, and by Him, and in Him, are all things: to Him be glory for
ever. Amen.
GOSPEL: Mt. 28:18-20
† Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew.
At that time Jesus said to His disciples: All power is given to Me in Heaven and on earth.
Going therefore, teach ye all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the
Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
August Queen of the Heavens,
And Sovereign Mistress of the Angels, Thou who from the beginning
Hast received from God The power and the mission
To crush the head of Satan, we humbly beseech Thee,
To send Thy Holy Legions, so that under
Thy Command and through Thy power,
They may pursue the demons, and combat them everywhere,
Suppress their boldness, and drive them back into the abyss.
Who is like God?
O good and tender Mother, Thou wilt always be our love and hope!
O Divine Mother, send Thy Holy Angels to defend me, and to drive far away from me
The cruel enemy.
Holy Angels and Archangels, Defend us, guard us.
Amen.

THIS WEEKEND SECOND COLLECTION FOR OUR AC SYSTEM!
The Joys and Sorrows of Our AC System:
As you may have noticed, the temperature in the church has been elevated above the usual 77
degrees on Sundays despite the air conditioning system which was repaired last summer. I
actually measured 84 degrees after one of the Masses. I had a technician from Baker Air
Conditioning come to the church and check our system. He told me that our air conditioning
units were modernized and fixed last year to a large extent, but that there was still one unit
which needed major repair work. So far, we have only 75 percent of the AC working
properly, and when the outside temperature reaches 100 degrees, our AC system is unable to
cool the church sufficiently. The repair estimate from last year, which was submitted to me,
amounts to $5,250.00. Knowing that the temperature will continue to rise over the summer months,
and knowing how difficult it is, especially for our elderly faithful, children, and pregnant mothers to
deal with high temperature levels, I have signed a contract to repair our AC system and to bring it
up to 100 percent working capacity with Baker Air Conditioning. This is the company which originally installed our AC system, has done all the maintenance on the system, and modernized it to a
large extent in 2010.
I expect that this work will be accomplished by the end of June before the muggy monsoon
season arrives. However, I also need to foresee being able to sign the check to pay for this important improvement and repair of our AC system. Holy Family Church has received rebates
from the Diocesan-wide campaign “Our Faith, Our Hope, Our Future.” We currently have about
$3,000 in restricted funds with the Diocese of Tucson which comes from these rebates. This money
will be used to pay for part of the necessary AC repair. The remainder needs to be raised by us and I
invite you to please participate generously in a second collection for this purpose. Our AC system
collection will be on the weekend of June 18 and 19. I thank you for your participation and I
am sure that we will all benefit from and enjoy the better air conditioning which we expect to have
by the end of the month.
CONFESSIONS - IMPORTANT REQUESTS
We would ask you to please line up for Confession along the east side wall of the Church, the side
where the large wooden crucifix is situated. Please do not stand next to the Confessional doors in
order to give more privacy to those in the confessional.
Please rehearse with your children, if necessary, the Act of Contrition. Please do this in your next
catechism class which you are giving them.
You are asked to please kneel in the Confessional! The chair should be used only by those who
have difficulty kneeling! Kneeling is an act of humility before God Almighty Whom we have
offended by our sins.
Volunteers needed for the San Martin de Porres Meal Program at our church
We still need additional volunteers to help with the San Martin de Porres Meal Program. We are looking
for faithful who can commit to a specific day and supervise the volunteers who come to help. They will
also receive a key for the church basement hall to open and close it for the meal program.
You are invited to contact the Parish office to sign up for any day: Sunday or Friday at 4:00 pm: sack lunch
distribution; Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.: hot meal served in the church basement hall.
Your initiative counts and is appreciated!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK/ CITA DE LA SEMANA:
“Be at peace and put aside all anxiety. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will
give you unfailing strength to bear it.”
”Estar en paz y dejar de lado toda la ansiedad. Porque o que te proteja del sufrimiento o te dara
la fuerza inquebrantable de sopotario.“

En el ano 1913, la iglesia fue construida en el estilo de las misiones en el barrio hispano Dunbar Springs cerca
a la universidad de Arizona. Fue consagrada el 14 de enero 1915 por Monseñor Henry R. Granjon, tercer
obispo de Tucson (1900-1922).
Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia es la más antigua parroquia de Tucson. Su primer párroco, el Padre Lucas de
San José O.C.D., y su socio Fr. Eduardo del Niño Jesús O.C.D., fueron beatificados por el Papa Benedicto

ÁNGELUS DEL PAPA BENEDICTO XVI
Solemnidad de la Santísima Trinidad
Plaza de San Pedro
Domingo 7 de Junio de 2009
"Queridos hermanos y hermanas:
Después del tiempo pascual, que culmina en la fiesta de Pentecostés, la liturgia
prevé estas tres solemnidades del Señor: hoy, la Santísima Trinidad; el jueves
próximo, el Corpus Christi, que en muchos países, entre ellos Italia, se celebrará
el domingo próximo; y, por último, el viernes sucesivo, la fiesta del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Cada una
de estas celebraciones litúrgicas subraya una perspectiva desde la que se abarca todo el misterio de la fe
cristiana; es decir, respectivamente, la realidad de Dios uno y trino, el sacramento de la Eucaristía y el centro divino-humano de la Persona de Cristo. En verdad, son aspectos del único misterio de salvación, que
en cierto sentido resumen todo el itinerario de la revelación de Jesús, desde la encarnación, la muerte y la
resurrección hasta la ascensión y el don del Espíritu Santo.
Hoy contemplamos la Santísima Trinidad tal como nos la dio a conocer Jesús. Él nos reveló que Dios es
amor "no en la unidad de una sola persona, sino en la trinidad de una sola sustancia" (Prefacio): es Creador y Padre misericordioso; es Hijo unigénito, eterna Sabiduría encarnada, muerto y resucitado por nosotros; y, por último, es Espíritu Santo, que lo mueve todo, el cosmos y la historia, hacia la plena recapitulación final. Tres Personas que son un solo Dios, porque el Padre es amor, el Hijo es amor y el Espíritu es
amor. Dios es todo amor y sólo amor, amor purísimo, infinito y eterno. No vive en una espléndida soledad, sino que más bien es fuente inagotable de vida que se entrega y comunica incesantemente.
Lo podemos intuir, en cierto modo, observando tanto el macro-universo —nuestra tierra, los planetas, las
estrellas, las galaxias— como el micro-universo —las células, los átomos, las partículas elementales—. En
todo lo que existe está grabado, en cierto sentido, el "nombre" de la Santísima Trinidad, porque todo el
ser, hasta sus últimas partículas, es ser en relación, y así se trasluce el Dios-relación, se trasluce en última
instancia el Amor creador. Todo proviene del amor, tiende al amor y se mueve impulsado por el amor,
naturalmente con grados diversos de conciencia y libertad.
"¡Señor, Dios nuestro, qué admirable es tu nombre en toda la tierra!" (Sal 8, 2), exclama el salmista.
Hablando del "nombre", la Biblia indica a Dios mismo, su identidad más verdadera, identidad que resplandece en toda la creación, donde cada ser, por el mismo hecho de existir y por el "tejido" del que está
hecho, hace referencia a un Principio trascendente, a la Vida eterna e infinita que se entrega; en una palabra, al Amor. "En él —dijo san Pablo en el Areópago de Atenas— vivimos, nos movemos y existimos" (Hch 17, 28). La prueba más fuerte de que hemos sido creados a imagen de la Trinidad es esta: sólo
el amor nos hace felices, porque vivimos en relación, y vivimos para amar y ser amados. Utilizando una
analogía sugerida por la biología, diríamos que el ser humano lleva en su "genoma" la huella profunda de
la Trinidad, de Dios-Amor.
La Virgen María, con su dócil humildad, se convirtió en esclava del Amor divino: aceptó la voluntad del
Padre y concibió al Hijo por obra del Espíritu Santo. En ella el Omnipotente se construyó un templo digno
de él, e hizo de ella el modelo y la imagen de la Iglesia, misterio y casa de comunión para todos los hombres. Que María, espejo de la Santísima Trinidad, nos ayude a crecer en la fe en el misterio trinitario".
