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. Blessed Lucas and Blessed Eduardo, pray for us!

Molla,
pray for us!
Why do we use Latin, why is the Mass in Latin? Why do we
celebrate Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite?
Latin is a powerful language which lets the Catholic Church
express clearly and precisely the doctrines of our Faith. The
Latin language is a tool, shaped by the Church over the centuries,
to pass on the faith in its integrity over time. It is a language which
lets us express our faith with a timeless beauty.
This language does not belong to any specific nation and cannot be exploited by nationalism.
This language lifts our hearts beyond borders, races, times and social or political classes and
lets us pray together and experience the universal character of the Catholic Church which is the
universal harbor of salvation, the only true religion and Christ’s only family on earth, the only
Kingdom of God in this world.
As the Catholic Church is a perfect supernatural society, founded by the God-Man Jesus Christ,
it is most fitting that it has its own language and that its members are familiar with its language
so that they can actually pray together with each other and with the Sovereign Pontiff in Rome
who is the visible head of this unity. Jesus spoke Latin and the inscription INRI on the Cross
was in Latin (Iesus Nazareus Rex Iudeorum / Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews). Latin is
the origin of many languages like Italian, Spanish and French and has considerably influenced
the English language. Latin helps us to understand the origin and meaning of many English
words.
The love for the Traditional Latin Liturgy is not a question of sentimentalism or nostalgia but a
result of our love for the Catholic Faith which is so well, rich, deep, and beautifully expressed
by this extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. As Pope Pius XII wrote in his Encyclical "Mediator Dei", there is a deep link between Faith and Worship: We pray as we believe and
we believe as we pray. Pope Benedict XVI wants us to rediscover this rich liturgical heritage of
our Faith which has formed the hearts and minds of so many saints over the centuries.
Today we witness -according to Pope Benedict XVI- an eclipse of God in the life of most people and thus in the life of society. In the United States only about 25% of Catholics attend Mass
on Sundays, which means that 75% disregard the Third Commandment of the Decalogue, that
we sanctify the Day of the Lord. In France, for instance, 94.5% of the Catholics of this country
disregard attending Mass on Sundays. The ignorance of our Faith is even more alarming! We
live in a world that needs God, we live in a world that needs saints, many saints and many holy
priests, religious and bishops, pro-life politicians and families.
We believe that the Traditional Latin Mass, which has sanctified, charmed, strengthened and
educated generations for centuries since early Christianity, is an important part of this
new Evangelization for which Blessed Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI call us. The
Second Vatican Council quoted solemnly the words of Pope Pius XII in the Sacred Constitution
on the Liturgy "Sacrosanctum Concilium" that the Liturgy is the center and summit of the life
of the Church. If this is the case, and we believe it firmly, then the resurgence of the Catholic
Church will come mainly through the Liturgy and our participation in it, in Faith, Humility and
Adoration. The liturgy needs to be celebrated with reverence because of its tremendous sacred character. It needs to be beautiful because the Mysteries of our Faith which we celebrate
are most beautiful and awesome. It needs to be of doctrinal depth as God has revealed Himself
to us in the profoundness of His Divine Mysteries!
The practice of Ecumenism should not become a pretext to empty or minimize the Catholic Liturgy and to disguise the sacrificial character of Holy Mass. The Ecumenical dialog and especially Catholic catechism and missionary efforts should help to spread and foster Catholic
teachings on the sacrificial nature of Holy Mass and of the ministerial priesthood.
That is why I also look very much forward as Parish Administrator of Holy Family Church to
implementing the new English translation of the Roman Missal on the first Sunday of Advent,
November 27, 2011.
As Rector of St. Gianna Oratory I am very glad about the growing number of young families
and faithful of all ages who are rediscovering the Roman Liturgy in all its fullness and
are reinvigorated in the practice of their Faith. They love the Latin which they slowly learn to
understand and which lets them experience the Universality of the Catholic Church beyond nations, language barriers and time. They know themselves to be close to the Pope who himself
prays much in Latin, and invites all to join him when he prays on our behalf to the Lord.
Also at the Parish Masses in English and Spanish we have many faithful who welcome Latin
during the celebration of the Eucharist and who appreciate and enjoy spiritually the heritage of
Latin hymns and chants together with the English and Spanish hymnals.
Latin unites us, Latin lets us pray together, Latin points to the origin of our Faith in Jesus
Christ, Latin points to the Sovereign Pontiff in Rome who is the visible representative of Christ
on earth. Latin is the best protection against Christian nationalism expressed in attempts
to establish an American Church, a German Church, a French Church, a Spanish or
Mexican Church, etc. We are all Catholic and the use of Latin in the Liturgy continuously reminds us of this and fosters this triple unity which we have and enjoy as Catholics, a unity of
Faith, Sacraments and Government. The liturgical use of Latin glorifies and praises God Who
invested the Catholic Church with this unity and Who wants to be adored and worshipped in the
true Faith.
The Holy Spirit has given us, through the Papacy and the Bishops, the Catholic Liturgy in its
divers forms in the Catholic Occident and Orient, for the celebration of the Sacrifice of the
Mass, for the profession of our Faith and to praise Him by the recitation of the Divine Office/
Liturgy of the Hours according to His Will: “ Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy
Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in heaven!” The Catholic Liturgy is the fruit of the sanctifying action of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Catholic Church
over the centuries. Its is a masterpiece of faith, art and culture and as such it is the setting for
the celebration of the Divine Mysteries, just as a beautiful gold ring is a most fitting setting for
the most precious diamond. The diamond of Christ’s sacrifice needs the setting of the sacred
Catholic Liturgy! The Holy Ghost has brought it forth through holy Popes and Bishops in the
history of the Church and this liturgy has matured over the centuries along with a growing understanding of the Eucharistic faith as revealed by Christ to His Apostles and expressed by the
Councils of the Church.
U.S. Bishops Defend the Freedom of Religion in the Face of Growing Threats
U.S. Catholic Bishops have taken a strong action to teach and
shape public policy in the face of accelerating threats against
religious freedom.
Archbishop Timothy Dolan named Bishop William Lori as Chair of the new effort.
The effort is in response to growing governmental hostility.
WASHINGTON, DC (USCCB) - The U.S. bishops have established a new Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty to address growing concerns over the erosion of freedom of religion in America. Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan,
president of the United Sates Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), established the ad hoc committee after consulting with the USCCB Administrative Committee during the Committee's September 13-14 meeting in Washington.
The Administrative Committee meets three times a year and conducts the work of the bishops' conference between plenary sessions. He announced formation of the ad hoc committee in a September 29 letter to the U.S. bishops
Archbishop Dolan also named Bishop William Lori of Bridgeport, Connecticut, to chair the new committee.
Support for ad hoc committee work will include adding two full-time staff at the USCCB, a lawyer expert in the area
of religious freedom law, and a lobbyist who will handle both religious liberty and marriage issues.
Bishop Lori said he welcomed "the opportunity to work with fellow bishops and men and women of expertise in constitutional law so as to defend and promote the God-given gift of religious liberty recognized and guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights of the Constitution of the United States."
"This ad hoc committee aims to address the increasing threats to religious liberty in our society so that the Church's
mission may advance unimpeded and the rights of believers of any religious persuasion or none may be respected," he
added.
In a letter to bishops to announce the ad hoc committee, Archbishop Dolan said religious freedom "in its many
and varied applications for Christians and people of faith, is now increasingly and in unprecedented ways under
assault in America."
"This is most particularly so in an increasing number of federal government programs or policies that would
infringe upon the right of conscience of people of faith or otherwise harm the foundational principle of religious
liberty," he said. "As shepherds of over 70 million U.S. citizens we share a common and compelling responsibility to
proclaim the truth of religious freedom for all, and so to protect our people from this assault which now appears to
grow at an ever accelerating pace in ways most of us could never have imagined."
Archbishop Dolan said the committee will work closely with national organizations, charities, ecumenical and interreligious partners and scholars "to form a united and forceful front in defense of religious freedom in our nation," and its
work will begin immediately.
He added that "the establishment of the Ad Hoc Committee is one element of what I expect to be a new moment in the
history of our Conference.Never before have we faced this kind of challenge to our ability to engage in the public
square as people of faith and as a service provider.If we do not act now, the consequence will be grave."
Archbishop Dolan said that, although he and his predecessor as USCCB President, Cardinal Francis
George, had sent private letters to President Obama on religious liberty in the context of redefining
marriage, none of those letters received a response.
"I have offered to meet with the President to discuss these concerns and to impress upon him the dire
nature of these actions by government," Archbishop Dolan said.
Archbishop Dolan listed six religious liberty concerns arising just since June:
-Federal Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations that would mandate the coverage of contraception (including abortifacients) and sterilization in all private health insurance plans, which could coerce church
employers to sponsor and pay for services they oppose. The new rules do not protect insurers or individuals with
religious or moral objections to the mandate.
-New York State's new law redefining marriage, with only a very narrow religious exemption. Already, county
clerks face legal action for refusing to participate in same-sex unions, and gay rights advocates are publicly emphasizing how little religious freedom protection people and groups will enjoy under the new law.
-An HHS requirement that USCCB's Migration and Refugee Services provide the "full range of reproductive services"-meaning abortion and contraception-to trafficking victims and unaccompanied minors in its cooperative
agreements and government contracts. The position mirrors the position urged by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) in the ongoing lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of MRS's contracts as a violation of religious
liberty.
-Catholic Relief Services' concern that US Agency for International Development, under the Department of State,
is increasingly requiring condom distribution in HIV prevention programs, as well as requiring contraception
within international relief and development programs.
-The Justice Department's attack on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), presenting DOMA's support for traditional marriage as bigotry. In July, the Department started filing briefs actively attacking DOMA's constitutionality, claiming that supporters of the law could only have been motivated by bias and prejudice. "If the label of
"bigot" sticks to us-especially in court-because of our teaching on marriage, we'll have church-state conflicts for
years to come as a result," Archbishop Dolan said.
-The Justice Department's recent attack on the critically important "ministerial exception," a constitutional doctrine
accepted by every court of appeals in the country that leaves to churches (not government) the power to make employment decisions concerning persons working in a ministerial capacity. In a case to be heard this term in the U.S.
Supreme Court, the Department attacked the very existence of the exception.

Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost
The Liturgy reminds us today of the great commandment of charity towards God and our neighbor. “The
precept is twofold,” declares St. Augustine, “but charity is one.” We love God above all and our neighbor
for His sake.
EPISTLE: Eph. 4: 1-6
Lesson from the Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians
St. Paul reminds us that our unity of faith, baptism and hope, like that of the Holy Ghost, of Christ and the
Father makes it our duty to be united in the bonds of charity, helping and consoling one another.
Brethren: I, a prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which
you are called. With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity, careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. One body and one spirit, as
you are called in one hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and
Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all, who is blessed for ever and ever.
Amen. Deo Gratias.
GOSPEL: Matt. 22: 34-46
† Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew
The commandment to love our neighbor is “like to” that, by which we are bound to love God, since it is for
love of Him that we love our neighbor at all. Questioned by the Pharisees about the first commandment,
Our Lord reveals the second, which is scarcely of less importance than the first. Jesus proves that being the
Son of David, He is called his Lord, He is the only Son of the Father. He alarms the Pharisees by telling
them that one day He will triumph over all who resist His rule, for God will make His enemies His footstool. By these words, Jesus makes clear the union and harmony existing between His Father and Himself.
At that time the Pharisees came to Jesus, and one of them, a doctor of the law, asked Him,
tempting Him: Master, which is the great commandment of the law? Jesus said to him: Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul and with thy
whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this:
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole
law and the prophets. And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them, saying:
What think you of Christ, whose son is He? They say to Him: David’s. He saith to them: How
then doth David, in spirit, call Him Lord, saying: The Lord said to my Lord: Sit on my right
hand until I make Thy enemies Thy footstool? If David then call Him Lord, how is He his
son? And no man was able to answer Him a word; neither durst any man from that day forth,
ask Him any more questions. Laus tibi Christe.

XXVIII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario A
Lecturas:
Isaías 25: 6-10a
Salmo: 23: 1-3a, 3b-4, 5, 6
Filipenses: 4: 12-14, 19-20
Meditación: Mateo 22: 1-14
El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta la parábola del banquete de bodas que contó Jesús para enseñar que no todos aceptan la invitación del Señor, y que termina con su célebre frase:
“Porque muchos son llamados, pero pocos escogidos.”
¿Qué significa prepararse para la fiesta de bodas que habrá al final de los tiempos? ¿Qué tipo de
“traje de bodas” hemos de llevar cuando llegue el Reino de Dios en toda su plenitud?
Antes que nada, tenemos que responder positivamente a la invitación de Jesús. No te equivoques,
querido hermano: ¡Tu Padre celestial te ama sin medida y quiere que seas su invitado especial en el
banquete final! Dios anhela que todos se salven y lleguen al conocimiento salvífico de su Hijo
(1 Timoteo 2,4). Cuando el Espíritu Santo actúe en tu corazón, especialmente al comienzo de tu
caminar con Cristo, ¡dale la bienvenida! No permitas que ninguna distracción ni atractivo del mundo
te impida responder a la gracia de la llamada de Dios. ¡Deja de lado cualquier cosa que te exija atención y entra al banquete de inmediato!
Segundo, cerciórate de estar bien preparado para la ocasión. No seas como el hombre que respondió
a la invitación, pero no llevaba la vestimenta debida, es decir, no había sido un fiel seguidor de Jesús
día tras día. Mantente revestido de la sangre del Cordero. Acércate a Jesús cada día en la oración y
en la meditación de su palabra. Pídele al Espíritu Santo que te ayude a examinar diariamente tus
pensamientos y acciones en la oración diaria. Cuídate de no ser solo oidor de la Palabra de Dios,
sino también hacedor (Santiago 1,22).
El Espíritu Santo te está esperando todos los días para llenarte de su amor y su gracia hasta el día
final, cuando ocupes tu lugar en la mesa del banquete con Jesús. Cada día, el Padre te está invitando
a integrarte al banquete de bodas de su Hijo. ¡Ahora mismo, ya hay santos que están con Él en el
banquete, y allí hay un lugar especial reservado para ti! ¡Qué espléndido festín va a ser ése! Ese día,
verás al Señor tal como es y estarás con Él para siempre en un banquete glorioso. ¡Responde ahora
mismo! ¡Y no te olvides de vestirte adecuadamente para el banquete!
“Señor, Espíritu Santo, haznos puros e irreprochables delante de Dios. ¡Ayúdanos, Señor, a estar
bien preparados para encontrarnos contigo y llegar al banquete!”

La Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia es una de los lugares de interés histórico de Tucson.
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
XVI el 28 de octubre, 2007 - la Fiesta de Cristo Rey.
Hoy la iglesia católica de Sagrada Familia es el hogar de ambos Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia y Santa
Gianna Oratorio que ofrece la liturgia latina tradicional.Ambas comunidades están bajo el cuidado del
Instituto de Cristo Rey Soberano Sacerdote. Bl. Lucas y Bl. Eduardo, ruega por nosotros!
