Dear Parishioners,

New Liturgy Coordinator

I am pleased to announce that the parish has hired a new Liturgy Coordinator, Mr. Luis Rodriguez. Mr. Rodriguez comes with five years of experience in liturgy and music from Holy Spirit Parish in Tempe. He has also studied extensively in music and business administration, and can speak several languages. Please join me in welcoming Luis Rodriguez to our parish community!

Introducing the Youth Choir Ministry

I am glad to formally inform you that we have started a new Youth Choir Ministry in our parish. The Youth Choir will be singing at the 5 pm Mass on Sunday. Middle and high school youth, as well as young adults, are invited to join the choir. I thank those who have already joined and invite anyone who is interested to contact our Music Director, Nick Garza, to sign up. I understand that many young people are interested in joining the choir. One of the major problems we have right now is that we have only a few microphone stands available in the choir area. As our choirs conঞ nue to grow, we are looking into purchasing multi directional microphones to accommodate as many people as we can. I am so excited about the youth choir and ask you to support our children as they respond to the needs of our parish community through this music ministry.

I am also happy to see the increasing number of young people that participate at Mass and other ministries in our parish. I understand we are expecting a record high number of over 50 young people registered in our Youth Ministry this year. I would like to take this moment to thank all of the youth who are involved in different ministries. You are the future of our parish and I know you have so much to off er to this community. I invite those of you who feel called to be lectors to read in the Church, and the young adults who feel called to be Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, to please contact David Rees, Nick or the parish office to sign up. We have people who are willing to help you with training and guidance in the ministries.

Thank you and Remain Blessed.

Fr. James
