Our next retreat, held at the Good Shepherd Mission, starts January 27 for the Colossae (New River / Desert Hills) and New World (outside parish boundaries) communities. Classes on the Essentials of our Faith continue! The next class will be on the Sacraments and Liturgy, Nov 15 and 16, 8:30 am to 12 noon. There is no charge for the class.

Why can only men be ordained as priests? Why can t I just confess my sins to Jesus directly? Why do I have to go to a priest? Why do we tell non-catholics they can t receive Holy Communion when they invite everyone to participate in Communion services at their churches?

We here at the seminary have celebrated ALL SAINTS and ALL SOULS, and the season is perfect for one thing: PAPERS! But in all seriousness, I have been utterly blessed this semester, Beyond my classes, I have experienced two very important things this year already. In September, I witnessed, along with 20 or so other seminarians from Denver, the Beatification of Bl. Stanley Rother in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City. Twenty two thousand faithful came to see this humble shepherd of souls recognized. But, only 15,000 were in the convention center, 2,000 in the overflow, and 5,000 faithful were turned away for lack of space. As always, you were near my heart, as I witnessed this serene and exciting event. Guatemala came back in full force as I remembered his parish where he was martyred for his love of the people he served. The other moment I desire to share with you, is the next step forward in my preparation for priesthood. On October 21st, I was installed as Lector. Yes, I am officially appointed to read at Mass. But, it is so much more than that...i have been entrusted with the Preparation of the Faithful for the worthy reception of The Sacraments of the Church. The Church residing in the Diocese of Phoenix has given me a vote of Confidence that I can bring souls newness of life by forming them to receive the Sacrament with all of their hearts. I have included a picture of me receiving from Archbishop Aquila of Denver the Holy Scriptures, that it may grow strong in the hearts of (God s) People. I look forward to seeing you all soon. Keep us all in Prayer, as we keep you and the whole Church of God in prayer as well! Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory Forever!
From the Religious Education Department Children s Ministry We are half way through the semester of RE classes, and we have been very busy.
