It’s Grandparents Day!
I have many fond memories of growing up and spending time with my grandparents. It was a Sunday tradition to visit my
grandparents after Sunday lunch. It was a time to hang out with them and my uncles, aunts, and cousins. Family bonds were fostered in us at an early age.
Not only were family bonds fostered, but respect for those older than us was firmly instructed. We were taught to not just respect our elders, but to listen to their wisdom, to pay attention to their life experience, but more importantly to assist them whenever they needed help. When I started driving my parents would quickly send me to help my grandmother (probably to get me out of the house, too!) or if they were in the hospital to sit with them. I learned to value that time and now I miss that time more and more.
In the tradition of the Church, we honor all grandparents on the feast of Sts. Joachim and Ann, the parents of the blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus’ grandparents. We are told in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, #2219:
Filial respect promotes harmony in all of family life; it also concerns relationships between brothers and sisters. Respect toward parents fills the home with light and warmth. "Grandchildren are the crown of the aged." 26 Prov 17:6 "With all humility and meekness, with patience, [support] one another in charity. 27 (Eph 4:2)
These are words I would hope all people take to heart. Filial respect is the foundation of family life, it effects all generations, because it rests upon the virtue of love.
It is so heart breaking to hear the number of people who have no contact with children and grandchildren all because of political ideologies. The cancel culture we live in says to cut off anyone who thinks differently than you. That’s why I love religious life so much. Within the Redemptorists you find men who are all over the place politically, yet daily we gather for prayer and Mass, we gather to share a meal together, we gather to share our lives even if our views are different. Is it easy? No, in fact it can be quite difficult. However, as Redemptorists, we each challenge ourselves to respect and honor each other and find joy in one another, and we do.
May each of us, as followers of Christ, have filial respect and love for each other, and find joy in each person we meet! Especially those older, wiser, and more experienced than us! Happy Grandparents Day!
In the Redeemer, Fr. Lamar , C.Ss.R.
MEET YOUR PASTORAL COUNCIL After I retired in 2004, my husband and I moved to SaddleBrooke. We started attending Mass at Santa Catalina Church in the same year. He passed away in 2008.
After my husband passed away, I started to get
involved in Parish activities. I assisted Lupita in the Youth Ministry for years and I also became a Eucharistic Minister. My current husband and I were married by Father Larry Sanders here in our church.
While Father Denis was pastor, he appointed me to the Pastoral Council. Currently, the council works with Father Lamar on issues and ideas to strengthen our parish.
Everyone’s input is welcome. Please share your ideas and concerns so we can grow and develop our Parish as a faith-based in Christ community.

REGÍSTRESE PARA NUESTRA COMIDA AL AIRE LIBRE DE BIENVENIDA A CASA SÁBADO 25 DE SEPTIEMBRE 5 - 7 PM, SALÓN PARROQUIAL Está invitado a unirse a sus compañeros feligreses en una reunión de compañerismo y comida, mientras celebramos nuestra comunidad parroquial.
Esperamos que planee unirse a nuestra celebración. ¡Asegúrere de registrarse!
Hay una hoja de registro en el nártex. Agregar su nombre a la lista será muy útil para poder administrar los refrigerios y para tener una idea de cuántos feligreses asistirán. Esperamos que planee asistir. Toda la comida y los refrescos son provistos por la parroquia. ¡Esto hace que la cena sea fácil!
La planificación de nuestra reunión de Bienvenida a Casa sigue viento en popa. Estaremos haciendo una parrillada afuera, pero le invitamos a sentarse y visitar el Salón Parroquial donde habrá ensaladas, postres, refrescos y agua. Además, tendremos cerveza y vino disponibles.
Los conos de nieve estarán disponibles ya que siempre son populares entre los niños. Planeé traerlos.
Esta es una fiesta de bienvenida que no querrá perderse.
¡RESERVA LA FECHA! ¡Te veo allí!
SE NECESITAN MONAGUILLOS PARA LA CELEBRACIÓN DEL ROSARIO EN ARIZONA
Los monaguillos de cada parroquia están invitados a asistir a la Celebración del Rosario de Arizona el sábado 16 de octubre en la Catedral de San Agustín, de 10 am a 12:15 pm. Antes del evento, los monaguillos se reunirán a las 9 am en el salón principal
(Ballroom) del Centro Pastoral. Se pide que todos los monaguillos traigan su propia sotana, sobrepelliz y cinto. Ataviados con sus alba, los monaguillos encabezan la procesión de entrada del obispo.
Después de la celebración, todos los servidores de la procesión serán obsequiados con una Medalla Milagrosa, que ha sido bendecida por el Papa Francisco.
Para obtener más información, comuníquese con Karen McEwen al 520-870-5122 o [email protected].
¡Es el día de los Abuelos!
Tengo muy buenos recuerdos de crecer y pasar tiempo con mis abuelos. Era una tradición dominical visitar a mis abuelos después del
almuerzo del Domingo. Era un momento para pasar el rato con ellos y mis tíos, tías y primos. Los lazos familiares se fomentaron en nosotros a una edad temprana.
No solo se fomentaron los lazos familiars, sino que se instruyó firmemente el respeto por aquellos más mayores que nosotros. Nos enseñaron no solo a respetar a nuestros mayores, sino a escuchar su sabiduría, a prestar atención a su experiencia de vida y, lo que es más importante, a ayudarlos siempre que necesitáran ayuda. Cuando comencé a conducir, mis padres me enviaron rápidamente para ayudar a mi abuela (¡Probablemente para sacarme de la casa, también!) O si estaban en el hospital era solo para sentarme con ellos. Aprendí a valorar ese tiempo y ahora lo extraño cada vez másy más.
En la tradición de la Iglesia, honramos a todos los abuelos en la fiesta de los Santos. Joaquín y Ana, los padres de la Santísima Virgen María y los abuelos de Jesús. Se nos dice en el Catesismo de la Iglesia Católica, #2219:
El respeto filial promueve la armonía en toda la vida familiar; También se refiere a las relaciones entre hermanos y hermanas. El respeto hacia los padres llena el hogar de luz y calidéz. "Los nietos son la corona de los ancianos."26 Prov 17:6 "Con toda humildad y mansedumbre, con paciencia, [apoyarse] unos a otros en la caridad.27 (Efe 4:2)
Éstas son palabras que espero que todas las personas tomen en serio. El respeto filial es la base de la vida familiar, afecta a todas las generaciones, porque se basa en la virtud del amor.
Es tán desgarrador escuchar la cantidad de personas que no tienen contacto con sus hijos y nietos debido a ideologías políticas. La cultura de conciliación en la que vivimos dice que hay que cortar a todo aquel que piense de maneara diferente a tí. Por eso amo tanto la vida religiosa. Dentro de los Redentoristas hay hombres que están por todas partes políticamente, sin embargo, todos los días nos reunimos para la oración y la Misa, nos reunimos para compartir una comida juntos, nos reunimos para compartir nuestras vidas, incluso si nuestros puntos de vista son diferentes. ¿Es fácil? No, de hecho puede resultar bastante complicado. Sin embargo, como Redentoristas, cada uno de nosotros nos desfiamos a respetarnos y honrarnos unos a otros y encontrar alegría en los demás, y lo hacemos.
¡Que cada uno de nosotros, como seguidores de Cristo, tengamos respeto y amor filial el uno por el otro, y encuentre gozo en cada persona que conocemos! ¡Especialmente aquellos mayores, más sabios y con más experiencia que nosotros! ¡Feliz día de los Abuelos!
En el Redentor, Fr. Lamar , C.Ss.R.
CONOZCA A SUS MIEMBROS DEL CONCILIO PASTORAL
Después de jubilarme en 2004, mi esposo y yo nos mudamos a SaddleBrooke. Comenzamos a asistir a misas en la iglesia de Santa Catalina ese mismo año. Falleció en 2008.
Después de la muerte de mi esposo, comencé a involucrarme
en las actividades de la parroquia. Ayudé a Lupita en el Ministerio Juvenil durante años y me convertí en Ministro de la Eucaristía. Mi esposo actual y yo nos casamos con el padre Larry aquí en la iglesia de Santa Catalina.
El Padre Dennis me nombró miembro del Consejo Pastoral. El consejo está trabajando con el Padre Lamar en temas e ideas para fortalecer nuestra parroquia. La opinión de cualquier persona es bienvenida, para que podamos crecer y desarrollar nuestra parroquia como una comunidad basada en la fe en Cristo.

As you probably know, there have been some changes to our Religious Education program. With changes comes new logos to represent those changes. We are very blessed to have a very talented parishioner who is also a graphic designer. Her name is Barbara Truman. She helped me with these changes.
I met Barbara many years ago when her son was enrolled in Youth Ministry. After he graduated from high school, I called her to see if she was interested in volunteering for our Youth Ministry program. She now begins her third year as a CORE member. In the past she has designed t-shirts for our YM retreats. Naturally, I felt she would be the perfect person to ask if she would be interested in designing logos for our new programs. This is what she came up with:
FYI - Faithful Youth Involved - was created specifically with pre-teens in mind. This is the time when they begin to develop a true sense of self. They are discovering their individual personality and
exploring different ways of expressing themselves and their faith. In this engaging class they will not only learn about their faith, but they will also gain leadership skills to help encourage them as faithful stewardships of Christ. We invite all students, grades 5 and 6, to join FYI. This group meets on Wednesdays, 4:30–5:30 pm, beginning October 6.
JR. HOPE is designed for students in grades 7 and 8. This “tween” Youth Group is for students to learn about their faith by participating in activities that are scriptural, social, and service oriented to help them grow in their faith journey.
Barb’s idea for this design comes from Rhode Island’s state seal which features an anchor with the word “HOPE.” I then saw other symbols which included an anchor and the word “faith.” Our collaboration concluded with the following additions: the anchor rope became a rosary. The nails, represent the crucified Christ, and the heart is for His love for us! We invite all 7th and 8th graders to join Jr. Hope. This group meets on Wednesdays, 6:30-7:30 pm, beginning October 6.
Last year our teens were asked to suggested names for our new Youth Ministry program. The teens voted, and Ruben Cajigas’s suggestion won.
Our Youth Ministry group is now called “Catalina Crusaders.” I asked Ruben how he came up with the name and he said, “I was thinking about the word “crusade.” We go through spiritual battles and crusades against evil, especially growing up during these times. We have to remember to stay on the good side with God leading us.” Barbara came up with this logo by combining artwork from one of our teens, Lydia Tapia, and a little Game of Thrones. She then drew in our Santa Catalina Church to connect it all together. This group meets on Sundays immediately after the 5 pm Mass, until 7:30 pm, beginning October 3. We invite all high school students to join Catalina Crusaders.
The largest group of students that attend Religious Education classes are grades K-6. I wanted to offer something special for parents/guardians during this time because these RE classes are only an hour long.
My thought was to save them time on the road from dropping off and
picking up their children. Thus came the idea for “Parent Hour.” Parent Hour will save time and give parents/guardians some time to themselves. This hour, in the church, will consist of topics to include Catholic teachings, prayer, guest speakers, and parent resources. This class will be led by Fr. Lamar, Brother Brian (while he is with us) and myself. We invite all parents/guardians to join us on Wednesdays, 4:30–5:30 pm. We will begin on September 29 with a Mandatory Parent and Child Meeting.
Deadline to register for Religious Education is Wednesday, September 8. This deadline assures that our resources arrive before we begin classes the first week in October. Register online at
https://bit.ly/SanCatREonlineREG or pick up a registration form at the office during business hours, M—Th 8:30am—2:30pm. You will also find registration forms in the Narthex of the church when you attend Mass.

IT’S NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH SEPTEMBER 15 -- OCTOBER 15 In 1968, President Johnson signed into law the first proclamation recognizing National Hispanic Heritage week. It was President GHW Bush (who had been a sponsor of that bill while serving in the House) who expanded the proclamation from September 15 to October 15 as National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Bush commented, “Hispanic Americans have enriched our nation beyond measure with the quiet strength of their closely knit families and proud communities.”
The Hispanic Heritage Month always begins on September 15. It is the day of the Anniversary of Independence of 5 Latin American countries: Costa Rica, Hondorus, Nicaragua, Guatamala, El Salvadore, with Mexico's Independence on September 16, Chile on September 18, and Belize on September 21.1
Hispanic refers to a person who is from or is a descendent from a Spanish speaking country. Latino or Latinx refers to a person who is from or is a descendent from a country in Latin America. Hispanic refers to one’s place of origin, not race. The U.S. Hispanic population reached 60.6 million in 2019, up from 50.7 million in 2010, about 18% of the total U.S. population.
Americans of Mexican origin account for over 60% of the nation's overall Hispanic population. More than half of native Hispanics live in just three states: California, Texas, and Florida.
Articles from our Hispanic and/or Latino parishioners will be in the bulletin throughout Hispanic Heritage month.

ES EL MES NACIONAL DE LA HERENCIA HISPANA 15 DE SEPTIEMBRE - 15 DE OCTUBRE En 1968, el presidente Johnson promulgó la primera proclamación que reconoce la semana nacional de la herencia hispana. Fue el presidente GHW Bush (quien había sido patrocinador de ese proyecto de ley mientras se desempeñaba en la cámara de representantes federal) quien amplió la proclamación del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre como el mes nacional de la herencia hispana.
Bush comentó: "Los hispanoamericanos han enriquecido nuestra nación sin medida, con la fuerza silenciosa de sus familias unidas y sus orgullosas comunidades".
El mes de la herencia hispana siempre comienza el 15 de septiembre. Ese día se celebra el aniversario de la independencia de 5 países latinoamericanos: Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala y El Salvador.

Hispano se refiere a una persona que es de o es descendiente de un país de habla hispana. Latino o Latinx se refiere a una persona que es o es descendiente de un país de América Latina. Hispano se refiere al lugar de origen de la persona, no a la raza. La población hispana de los EE. UU. alcanzó los 60.6 millones de personas en 2019, un aumento a los 50.7 millones en 2010; aproximadamente el 18% de la población total de los EE. UU.
Los estadounidenses de origen mexicano representan más del 60% de la población hispana general del país. Más de la mitad del total de hispanos en los EE. UU viven en tres estados: California, Texas y Florida.
Los artículos de nuestros feligreses hispanos y / o latinos estarán en el boletín durante el mes de la Herencia Hispana.

I thank You, Lord, for the comfort of Your presence: even in times of loneliness, You are my hope and my confidence, You have been my rock and my fortress since my youth! I thank You for having given me a family and for having blessed me with a long life. I thank You for moments of joy and difficulty, for the dreams that have already come true in my life and for those that are still ahead of me. I thank You for this time of renewed fruitfulness to which You call me. Increase, O Lord, my faith, make me a channel of your peace, teach me to embrace those who suffer more than me, to never stop dreaming and to tell of your wonders to new generations. Protect and guide our clergy and the Church, that the light of the Gospel might reach the ends of the earth. Send Your Spirit, O Lord, to renew the world, that the storm of the pandemic might be calmed, the poor consoled and wars ended. Sustain me in weakness and help me to live life to the full in each moment that You give me, in the certainty that you are with me every day, even until the end of the age. Amen.
Grandparents Prayer Te doy gracias, Señor, por el consuelo de tu presencia: incluso en tiempos de soledad, eres mi esperanza y mi confianza. ¡Has sido mi roca y mi fortaleza desde mi juventud! Te agradezco por haberme dado una familia y por haberme bendecido con una larga vida. Te agradezco los momentos de alegría y dificultad, por los sueños que ya se han hecho realidad en mi vida y por los que aún me quedan por delante. Te doy gracias por este tiempo de renovada fecundidad al que me llamas. Aumenta, Señor, mi fe, hazme un canal de tu paz, enséñame a abrazar a los que sufren más que yo, a no dejar de soñar nunca y contar tus maravillas a las nuevas generaciones. Protege y guía a nuestro clero y a la Iglesia, para que la luz del Evangelio llegara hasta los confines de la tierra. Envía, Señor, tu Espíritu para renovar el mundo, para que se calme la tormenta de la pandemia, que los pobres se consuelen y las guerras se terminen. Sostenme en la debilidad y ayúdame a vivir la vida a plenitud en cada momento que me das, con la certeza, de que estás conmigo todos los días, incluso hasta el final de la era. Amén.
