Dear Parish Family,
Well, here it is Tuesday, 14 June!
Last week, did I say it was going to be hot? Thanks to
the National Weather Service forecast, I was right AND
it’s supposed to be hot as you read this. I hope
everyone is staying safe from the heat and its effects. I
hope you are keeping your pets safe too.
I’ve instructed our maintenance workers to stay out of
the heat and try to work indoors as much as possible.
I’m willing to let the aesthetics of the outside areas
suffer instead of our people. Please bear with us if the
outside area doesn’t meet your expectations, we must
protect our employees!
Last week Mr. Frank Watson of Watson Refrigeration
Company gave me a tour of the school and showed me
the progress of the project. The air conditioning units
were in the classrooms ready to be opened and begin
the installation phase.
The other day someone asked me, “Why are you
writing so much about the school air conditioning
project?” The answer is simple. This is an exciting time
in the history of our parish and school and I want to
keep you informed of the progress every step of the
way.
I know the teachers with whom I have spoken are
excited too. For many years they have had to teach in
hot classrooms. For most of those years, the teachers,
and parents, were told, ”You’re going to get air
conditioning” but it never happened. This was not the
best environment for teachers and students, but they
overcame the adversity and did very well. We are now
looking forward to that problem being resolved!
I just reread what I wrote above and realized OMG
(today’s cell phone lingo) I’ve been so serious, maybe I
need to inject some levity, which reminded me, “Did I
ever tell you about the man from Yuma who died and
went to hell?” After about three days down there, he
asked the devil if he could return to Yuma for a few
minutes. The devil asked, “Why?” and the man said, “I
need my sweater.”
OK that’s enough for today. I wish you a safe, faith
filled summer! Stay cool!

Querida Familia Parroquial,
¡Pues bien, es martes junio 14!
La semana pasada, ¿les dije que la temperatura iba a
estar muy alta? Gracias a la prevención del Servicio
Meteorológico Nacional, tuve razón Y se supone que
va a estar caliente para cuando lean esto. Espero
que todos se mantengan protegidos del calor y sus
efectos. Lo mismo, que mantengan también a sus
mascotas a salvo.
He dado instrucciones al personal de mantenimiento
para que no permanezcan bajo el sol y que traten de
trabajar en el interior, tanto como sea posible. Estoy
dispuesto a dejar que la apariencia del exterior sufra
en lugar de nuestra gente. Por favor ténganos
paciencia si las áreas de afuera no llenan sus
expectativas, ¡debemos proteger a nuestros
empleados!
La semana pasada, el señor Watson de Watson
Refrigeration Company me dió un recorrido por la
escuela y me mostró los avances del proyecto. Las
unidades del aire acondicionarlo están en los
salones, listos para ser abiertos y empezar la fase de
instalación.
El otro día alguien me preguntó: ¿Por qué estas
escribiendo tanto sobre el proyecto del aire
acondicionado? La respuesta es simple. Este es un
momento emocionante en la historia de nuestra
parroquia y la escuela y quiero mantenerlos
informados en los avances de cada paso del
proyecto.
Sé que los profesores con los que he hablado,
también están muy emocionados. Por muchos años
han tenido que enseñar en aulas cálidas. En la
mayoría de esos años, a los maestros y a los padres
les decían, “van a tener aire acondicionado” pero eso
nunca sucedió. Este no era el mejor ambiente para
profesores y estudiantes pero se sobreponían a la
adversidad y lo hacían muy bien. Ahora, estamos
viendo hacia adelante y que ese problema sea
resuelto.
Acabo de releer lo que escribí más arriba y me di
cuenta (OMG, today’s cell phone lingo) que he estado
muy serio, tal vez necesito inyectar un poco de
humor, lo que me recordó: “¿Les he platicado alguna
vez sobre el hombre de Yuma que murió y se fue al
infierno?”. Después de tres días allá abajo, le pidió al
diablo si podía volver a Yuma durante unos minutos.
El diablo le pregunto: ¿para que? Y el hombre
contesto: “Necesito mi suéter”.
Bueno, es suficiente por ahora. !Les deseo un verano
sin contratiempos y lleno de fe!

The Knights of Columbus set a new all-time record
last year for charitable donations and service
hours with $175,079,192 in donations and more
than 73.5 million hours of service. The numbers
were announced at the closing session of the
annual Organizational Meeting of State Deputies in
New Haven.
“We are very proud of these Fraternal Survey
numbers,” Supreme Knight Anderson said. “These
are a clear indication that we are keeping faith with
Father McGivney’s principle of charity and also of
unity, not only among ourselves, but with those in
need. This is what we call a charity that
evangelizes. This is what makes Knights of
Columbus different.”
If you are a Catholic man interested in becoming a
Knight, please contact our council at 520-303-4791

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Según san Mateo, una noche mientras los
discípulos estaban en la barca de Pedro, Jesús vino
hacía ellos caminando sobre el mar. Ellos se
espantaron creyendo que era un fantasma de algún
pescador pero él los calmó diciendo “¡Ánimo!, que soy
yo; no teman”. Debió ser impactante ver al Señor
caminar sobre las aguas, especialmente en una época
donde las aguas venían consideradas como el caos.
En varias partes de latinoamerica los fieles
celebran a distintos santos con procesiones de barcos
sobre ríos o mares. En el Puerto de Paita, Perú se
llevan a los santos Pedro y Pablo en una procesión
acuática. San Pedro, que fue pescador, está en casa
sobre la barca, ya que normalmente son barcas de
pescadores las que forman la procesión. Esta procesión
reconoce el caos del mar reconociendo a los
pescadores, que durante el año perdieron sus vidas en
el mar, con guirnaldas lanzadas a la bahía. Pero, esta
procesión no se espanta del mar ya que es una fiesta
en honor de dos siervos de aquel que camina sobre las
aguas, dominando el mar.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
It’s almost midsummer day! One of the great
hidden treasures of our liturgical calendar occurs this
week. There are only three “nativity” feasts on our
calendar: for the Lord, the Blessed Mother (September
8), and the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist on June
24. Friday’s date is anchored by the Annunciation
(March 25), when Mary learns not only of her own
child’s advent, but of Elizabeth’s child. We are exactly
half a year away from Christmas Eve. There are strong
traditions around this feast. Just as the winter solstice
provides a rich vocabulary for Christmas, so does the
abundance of light at midsummer inform this
celebration. Just as at Christmas, a religious festival
spills over into culture. As summer light reaches its
peak, the sun-drenched zones of northern Europe see
people staying up all night, kindling “St. John’s Fires” in
the long summer twilight. Bonfires seem to be the
unifying force in all these celebrations, kindled along
the shores of the St. Lawrence in Quebec and
Montreal, with harbor illuminations in France. You may
be most interested in the custom in San Juan, Puerto
Rico, the Baptist’s own city. People there will leap into
the sea between midnight and dawn to honor John.
Why not find your way to a pool, a lake, or a sandy
beach this week and plunge in to recall your baptism?
It’s a tradition!
