FAZtor s Notes By Fr. Arnold Zamora We received the sad news early this week about the passing of Archbishop George Niederauer, former Archbishop of San Francisco, on last Tuesday, May 2 nd at Nazareth House in San Rafael. Diagnosed with interstitial lung disease, he died at the age of 80. Archbishop Niederauer was the one who appointed me as pastor of Holy Name. I still remember coming to his office, my first and last time. I told him that entering his room was like being called to the principal s office. When he said I would like you to go to Holy Name to serve as administrator and pastor after your incardination to the Archdiocese, I loudly exclaimed: Lord, have mercy on me. He responded: God is always merciful! That is my special attachment with Archbishop Niederauer and my special connection with him is God s mercy. May the angels lead him into paradise and may the martyrs come to welcome him and take him to the holy city, the new and eternal Jerusalem. May he rest in peace! May is the word. May is the month. It is almost unbelievable how swiftly each month comes and goes. May is for the many M s! It is Mary s month! It is the month for Mothers! And in our parish, we celebrate the gift of Marriage, as three couples that I know are celebrating their 50 th wedding anniversaries. This Saturday, May 6 th, Alice and Edward Rosario receive God s blessing at the 5PM mass as they renew their marriage vows. Alice is our weekday sacristan and one of our Eucharistic ministers. This Sunday is Linda and Tony Sideco s turn, at the 11:30AM mass. You can t miss Linda and Tony at the church. They are almost everywhere, be it at the Eucharistic table or at the Party table. These two are just incredible and so visible in our parish. They are both Eucharistic Ministers, and our Lead Hospitality Ministers. You can count on them at parties, after Mass fellowship, receptions and other celebrations. They clean the church exterior every Saturday morning. They have received a "Couple of the Year" award from the city. Linda was also named as a Woman of the Year by the Archdiocese Council of Catholic Women. Then on May 20 th, Benny and Ofelia Capuyan will celebrate their 50 th Wedding anniversary, with a special mass presided by Fr. Angel Quitalig. Benny is the chair of our Parish Pastoral Council. He sings in our choir and serves as liaison for the Blessed Virgin Mary Shrine group. I am sure there are other couples celebrating their 50 th wedding anniversaries this year. These couples have a unique love story and marital journey. Hear their stories and seek their advice as they serve as an inspiration to all married couples and those planning to get married. Congratulations to all of you! At a parish celebration for couples reaching their 50 th year of married life together, Nick was asked to give a brief account of the benefits of being married so long. Tell us, Nick, just what is it you have learned from all those wonderful years with your wife? Nick responded, Well, I ve learned that marriage is the greatest teacher of all. It teaches you forbearance, meekness, self-restraint, loyalty, forgiveness, and a great many other qualities you wouldn t have needed if you d have stayed single. Someone said: Marriage is a very expensive way to get your laundry done for free.
