Fiesta...Come, Let Us Celebrate at the Fiesta Table

40TH ANNUAL FIESTA WEEKEND: Our 40th annual parish community Fiesta is in full swing. The final segment of our three-

day Fiesta is this Sunday afternoon from 4pm to 8pm. This 40th annual parish Fiesta is again an opportunity for bringing our entire

parish and school families and surrounding neighborhood together in community. Our Fiesta event creates a very informal and

friendly environment to celebrate friendships and especially the gift of our faith and its call to experience the joy of the Gospel in the

Lord, Jesus. The Fiesta Raffle will be the big highlight of Sunday evening’s segment.

Our deepest gratitude to RJ Saavedra, her family, and all on the core committee of the Fiesta and all who contributed hours of

service in the presentation of this 40th annual Fiesta. Our deepest gratitude to all of you and to all who participated and supported

this year’s Fiesta.

HOLISTIC STEWARDSHIP SEASON IS A-COMING: Holistic Stewardship means that everything we have is a gift, including

the gift of creation around us. This means that everything we have... our time, our talent, and our treasure are God given gi fts. Once

we accept and acknowledge to ourselves that everything we have is a gift entrusted to us by God, then our true response must be one

of giving back in thanksgiving.

During the upcoming weekends of October our parish will be promoting Holistic Stewardship out of the need to be thankful givers.

In preparation for the annual renewal, parishioners are invited to prayerfully reflect on our parish Mission Statement and the

Stewardship Prayer. The parish Mission Statement and Stewardship Prayer are shown here.

Parish Mission Statement As missionary disciples filled with the joy of the Gospel, our parish proclaims an ongoing encounter with Jesus Christ through

Word, community, Sacrament, and loving service.

Stewardship Prayer My parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be

filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I

am a generous giver. It will bring others into worship, if I invite and bring them in. It will be a place of loyalty and love, of

fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity, and mercy, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things. Therefore,

with the help of God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be.

Declaración de la Misión Parroquial

Como discípulos misioneros llenos de la alegría del Evangelio, nuestra parroquia proclama un encuentro continuo con Jesucristo a

través de la Palabra, la comunidad, el Sacramento y el servicio amoroso.

Oración de mi Parroquia

Mi parroquia se compone de personas como yo. Yo contribuyo a hacerla como es. Será acogedora si yo lo soy, será Santa si yo lo

soy, se llenaran sus bancas si yo ayudo a llenarlas, hará grandes logros si yo pongo mi esfuerzo, estará en oración si yo oro en ella,

será generosa en la misión si yo soy generosa con ella, invitará a todos a la alabanza si yo los invito también. Será un lugar de lealtad

y amor de valentía y fé, de compasión, caridad, y misericordia si yo que la conformo estoy llena de todas esas cosas. Así que con la

ayuda de Dios, me dedico a la tarea de convertirme en todo lo que quiero que mi parroquia sea.

FIRST QUARTER ORDINARY INCOME UPDATE: Our stewardship of treasure income for the months of July, August and

September, which are usually the lean and mean times for the budget year, is in 9.1% deficit (-$24,882). The deficit for the same

period last year was 4.1%. Our three months in the parish hall and the successful Three R’s campaign seem to have been

contributing factors towards this first quarter deficit. The Yes, Lord annual renewal has always been helpful in erasing the early

deficit of the budget year.

ANNUAL CATHOLIC MEN’S CONFERENCE: Bishop Weisenburger notes the following — The Diocese of Tucson is hosting

the Annual Catholic Men’s Conference on Saturday, November 3rd from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm with registration starting at 8:00 am. It

will be held at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish. This will be an opportunity for ALL men throughout the diocese to come together as

men of faith. All husbands, fathers, grandfathers, single men, sons, grandsons, and nephews are encouraged to attend. My hope as

your (Pastor/priest/deacon/fellow parishioner) is that as many men as possible from the parish will register. Mr. Greg Wasinski and

Mr. Jesse Romero are two nationally sought-after speakers whose presentations will help explore the scriptural and practical

meanings of Iron Sharpens Iron inspiring a spiritual connection to God, family and community. You can register in advance online

at www.tucsonmensconference.org. I hope many of our men will take advantage of this unique opportunity to grow in faith.

Scripture Reflection DID YOU KNOW . . .

Did you know? That when Catholics enter into a

sacramental marriage a ‘marital bond’ is formed

that makes the couple a living image of Christ and

the Church, and urges them to imitate this

relationship in their own lives.

October 7, 2018 - 27th Sunday of Ordinary Time,

Genesis 2:18-24; Hebrews 2:9-11; Mark 10:2-16

God creates a partner for Adam. A woman who is

created from his side and then becomes one with him.

Jesus reaffirms this union when the Pharisees ask Him

about divorce. “God made them male and female… They

are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has

joined together, no human being must separate.”

This led the disciples to ask further questions. Jesus

explained that if a married couple got divorced and then

either person remarried, they were committing adultery.

This is true today, but there are options. A divorced

person can receive Eucharist if they are a Catholic in good

standing and either have not remarried or have received an

annulment. An annulment isn’t a Catholic divorce either. It

proves that the marriage was never actually a covenant

marriage. Does this affect the legitimacy of any child from

the marriage? Absolutely not. If you’re curious and want

more information, please go to this website:

http://www.foryourmarriage.org/divorce/

The disciples were sending away people who were

bringing their children to Jesus for His blessing. Jesus got

upset about that and told the disciples, “let the children

come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God

belongs to such as these.” Jesus embraced and blessed

them.

Its been said when you don’t hear crying in a church,

the Church is dying. We need to let the little children in.

They are the future of our Church and of our faith. We

need to accept God with the faith of a child. Asking

questions is fine. Think about how many questions your

children ask. Also think about looking at the sunset or a

rainbow like your children do and realizing God created

that for us to enjoy and thanking Him for that and our

child-like faith.

La oración es la columna vertebral de nuestra Fe.

Queridas Familias de Nuestra Madre de los Dolores,

Mi nombre es Renise Rodríguez y es un honor compartir con

ustedes que asumiré el papel de Asistente Ejecutivo del

Pastor aquí en OMOS. He sido feligrés de esta parroquia

durante casi toda mi vida. Asistí a la escuela OMOS y he

participado activamente en varios ministerios a lo largo de

los años. Mi formación en OMOS, tanto en el entorno

escolar como en mi participación en el programa Lifeteen,

fue una parte integral de por qué elegí cursar una licenciatura

en Estudios Religiosos en la Universidad de Arizona.

Después de graduarme, trabajé como Campus Minister en la

escuela St. John the Evangelist en el sur de Tucson, donde

obtuve 5 años de experiencia trabajando en un entorno

parroquial y escolar. Este año tuve la bendición de obtener

una beca de la Diócesis de Tucson en asociación con

Catholic Extension, lo cual me permitió hacer un viaje para

comenzar una Maestría en Educación Religiosa en la

Universidad de Fordham. Estoy muy feliz de tener la

oportunidad de volver a mis raíces y continuar sirviendo a la

Iglesia como una profesional. Quiero agradecer a Monseñor

Tom por confiarme este puesto y darme la bienvenida como

miembro de su equipo. Humildemente pido sus oraciones

mientras asumo este nuevo rol y mientras continúo con mis

estudios. Al igual yo estaré en oración por todos ustedes.

Que Dios los bendiga.

How can we ease the challenge of “saying good bye” to

our loved ones? As part of Respect Life Month, the

Consistent Ethic of Life Committee will present an

information forum about Catholic funeral rites, burials,

cremation, and how to make arrangements for final

resting places for yourself and those you love. Interfaith

issues and other family situations will also be addressed.

Planning in advance can lift the burden of responsibility

from others and bring some peace of mind. Our hope is

that this forum will ease many concerns about navigating

this challenging journey. Open to all. Sponsored by Our

Mother of Sorrows Parish & The Diocese of Tucson
