Please bring your food item to hall before Mass. Money donations will be accepted too. Thank you from Fr. Robert I hope this message finds you well and I pray that you will have a blessed Christmas and Happy New Year. As we begin a new year, I pray we persevere in the work God is asking of us in Graham County. In June I will have been in Graham County for (5) five years. Time passes fast when you are having fun! We all have so much to be grateful for and even in hard times, we have shown strength in the face of loss and deception. Our Lord has given us the chance to find love despite hate, joy despite sadness, and forgiveness. We still have so much to do. I realize many are asking about a new Priest. I have mentioned, many times before, that other denominations (other churches) demand 10% of member s income. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says the faithful are obliged to assist with the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability. (CCC2043). I, too, participate in this obligation. We must be able to provide for a new Priest and at the same time we must be able to pay our daily bills. Our goal per week is between $5, $5, All I ask is $5.00 in the basket instead of $1.00. And, if you aren't a regular contributor, prayerfully consider becoming one. I highly encourage that you give. More and more people are asking for help through Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Rose of Lima and Saint Vincent de Paul. It takes our time, talents, and treasure to provide for all the needs of the people. 1. This includes those who have chosen to enter I into the formation program as a priest, deacon or Religious order. 2. To further the formation of our Teacher and Aides. 3. To provide for the needs of people in the community. Electrical, Gas, Water, Rent, etc. 4. Upkeep of the eleven (11) properties, grounds and buildings through-out Graham County. We can easily just think of our self, but our Lord has asked us to care for all. I hope and pray we open our hearts and minds to what our Lord is calling all of us to accomplish here in Graham County. Always in my prayers, Rev. Robert A. Rodriguez The next Parish Counsel meeting will be January 17th, 2018 to finalize the plans for the Bishop visit. On February 7, We are very glad to announce that our New Bishop Edward J. Weisenburger will be visiting St Rose of Lima & Our Lady of Guadalupe on February 7th, Fr. Robert will try to take him to see the San Jose Mission and St. Martin Mission in Pima. More information to come.
