TIMES OF REFRESHING
Fr. Ricky V. Ordóñez
VVVVVVVV
The first week of school has come and gone! Verdict? Very successful! The children are happy and so are the
teachers. While we had a fair bit of rain, it was good to be in air-conditioned comfort!
VVVVVVVV
Looking at our children come in to school every morning, I often wonder what their futures hold. Whatever these may
be, I know that the foundation that they get from a St. Joseph Catholic School education will help them achieve it.
Therefore, the challenge falls, not only on the teachers and parents, but for the rest of the parish who CAN have a
great hand at supporting it.
VVVVVVVV
Someone asked me, “What can we do to help the school, Fr. Ricky?” There are so many things that we need to do
for our children. One way is to upgrade our facilities. The air conditioning was only the beginning. Oftentimes, I walk
around the school when it is empty and start imagining what it would be like to have the following:
A track oval around the soccer field
An improved “ramada”
A covered basketball court
Updated TV sets in each classroom
VVVVVVVV
We have a terrific Principal in the person of Mr. Sam Granillo. He brings with him the energy and skill to keep our
children raring to learn. It is his third year in our school and he has proven that he has the talents and knowledge in
providing leadership to bring it to greater heights. Well done, Mr. Granillo!
VVVVVVVV
With John Hill joining Tom Taylor and Nora Arriola in our maintenance crew, we are confidently catching up in
keeping our gardens tidy. The summer was just so busy trying to get our school ready for the opening that, we must
admit, our gardens needed some “serious tender loving care”. Thanks to them, it is now coming back to life.
VVVVVVVV
Let us pray for Bishop Kicanas! On his birthday last Thursday, Aug. 18, 2016, Bishop Kicanas submitted his letter of
retirement to the Holy Father in Rome. This is mandatory for all Bishops reaching the age of 75. While his
retirement is not immediate, it means that the Pope will now have to find his successor which, traditionally, takes
some time. I am sure that it is “bitter – sweet” for the Bishop as he must look forward to retirement but, I am sure, he
will miss all the “action” in the Diocese of Tucson.
VVVVVVVV
Our 5:30 PM Sunday mass has seen its number grow! We would like to call on those who may want to join our ‘a
capella’ choir! Better still, if you can be the pianist, ALLELUIA! Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you would like
to offer your musical skills.
VVVVVVVV
Let us continue to pray for our brothers and sisters who are currently facing some health challenges. There are a few
of them in home care facilities and hospices. Some are still in the hospital. Let us ask the Lord to touch them with
His healing hand and restore them to full health!
VVVVVVVV
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5, 6

DISCIPLINE
It is no accident that the words “disciple” and
“discipline” are nearly identical. Their relationship in
Christian faith and life, however, has fallen somewhat
out of favor in the past generation, as certain
prescribed Church rules and regulations have been
reduced and relaxed. These rules were often referred
to as “disciplines.” We are mistaken, however, to think
that it no longer takes discipline to follow Christ. The
Letter to the Hebrews assures us of that today. Our
discipline is more like that of an athlete pursuing a
victory or a personal best, or a musician striving for a
concert career or to master a new piece of music. This
discipline comes from desire, not from regulations. It
was the desire to do the will of God that led Jesus on
the path to his cross. It is that same desire he
encourages in us today: to strive to enter through the
narrow gate, to find ourselves in the kingdom with a
surprising assortment of people who are there not
because of mere observation of rules, but out of a
genuine desire to recline at the table of the heavenly
banquet.

Solution for
Matthew 16:16
YOU ARE
THE MESSIAH
DISCIPLINA
No es accidente que las palabras “discípulo” y
“disciplina” sean casi idénticas. Su relación en la fe y la
vida cristianas, sin embargo, ha caído en desuso en la
generación pasada debido a que ciertas reglas y
regulaciones prescritas en la fe cristiana se han
reducido o relajado. Estas reglas con frecuencia eran
llamadas “disciplinas”. Nos equivocamos, sin embargo,
si pensamos que ya no se necesita disciplina para
seguir a Cristo. La Carta a los Hebreos nos lo asegura
hoy. Nuestra disciplina es como la de un atleta que
persigue una victoria o quiere ser el mejor, o como la
de un músico que lucha por hacer carrera como
concertista o por perfección en la ejecución de una
nueva obra musical. Esta disciplina se basa en el
deseo, no en las reglas. Fue el deseo de hacer la
voluntad de Dios lo que motivó a Jesús en el camino
hacia el calvario. Es ese mismo deseo el que él inspira
en nosotros hoy: luchar por entrar por la puerta
angosta, para encontrarnos en el Reino con muchas
personas que están allí no solamente por observar las
reglas, sino por un sincero deseo de reclinarse a la
mesa del celestial banquete.

Each year, our councils undertake many thousands of
locally inspired programs at the parish level, making life
better for millions of people. And all of this is the legacy
of our founder, Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney,
whose spiritual genius inspired generations of Catholic
men to step forward with courage to confront the
challenges of their day by living out the principles of
charity, unity and fraternity in a distinctly Catholic way.
Council 8813 is planning to have dinners on the
first Friday of each month and it was decided to try out
something a bit different. Along with our usual fish
dinners, there will be a different entrée each
month. Part of the reason is to try to entice Fr. Ricky
and Deacon Leon into trying something different, since
word from the pond is the catfish were showing signs of
being concerned.
If you are a Catholic man interested in becoming a
Knight, please contact our council at 520-303-4791
or by email at [email protected]

School. This week was very exciting, we met our
new teachers, friends, and saw everyone from last
year as well. I'm so happy to be back in school, this
week we relearned how to switch classes, we got a
feel for how our classes would be, and we got math
