Holy Family Catholic Church
is one of Tucson’s historic landmarks. Built in the Mission style in
1913 in the Hispanic Dunbar Springs neighborhood and close to the University of Arizona, it was consecrated
on Jan. 14, 1915 by Msgr. Henry R. Granjon, third Bishop of Tucson (1900-1922).
Holy Family Parish is Tucson‟s oldest Catholic parish. Its first pastor Fr. Lucas of St. Joseph O.C.D. and his
associate Fr. Eduardo of the Child Jesus O.C.D. were beatified by Pope Benedict XVI on October 28 in 2007,
the Feast of Christ the King.
Today Holy Family Catholic Church is the home of both Holy Family Parish and St. Gianna Oratory with
the Traditional Latin Liturgy. Both communities are under the care of the Institute of Christ the King
Sovereign Priest. Blessed Lucas and Blessed Eduardo, pray for us!

Letter from the Rector
Tucson, October 16, 2011
Dear Faithful and Friends of the Institute of Christ the King,
The religious education program for this year has started and we are glad to welcome about 60 children and teenagers
to the different classes which we offer. Our R.C.I.A. class meets on Thursdays from 5:00-6:00 p.m. in the church rectory.
The Marian Catechism program will start in November. I am grateful to all the volunteers who have helped me to prepare our
church basement for the religious education classes. In the name of our students and their parents, I would like to say “thank
you.” I am likewise grateful to the benefactors from St. Gianna Oratory who made it possible for me to ,purchase the framed
posters, the crucifix on the wall, the retablo, and the Mexican and Peruvian decorations on the walls of Our Lady of Guadalupe
Hall. As Parish Administrator and Rector it is great for me to see how the faithful of both communities are working
together for the future of our church. A special thank you to the Hispanic Charismatic Group which volunteered to retile the
stairway into the basement.
About eight years ago Holy Family Church suffered a big leak in the roof, which devastated the two sacristies with a flood of
mud from the adobe ceiling. This damage has never been really repaired, and in both sacristies you can still see holes, missing
plaster, and watermarks from the damage. I am planning on fixing these ceilings in the near future and I will keep you posted
on the developments.
On Saturday October 29 I would invite you to help with a larger-scale church cleaning in preparation for the Feast of
Christ the King, the Feast of All Saints, and in preparation for All Souls Day. Please sign up on the sheets provided in the back
of the church.
Our San Martin de Porres Fiesta will be held on November 5 and 6, 2011 and I invite you to participate in this two-day
celebration where the faithful of both Holy Family Parish and St. Gianna Oratory come together in Christ for good fellowship, a hearty meal, and wholesome entertainment. Please use the flyers in the back of the church to sign up and help us
with the preparations. Invite your family and friends to come with you to this fiesta at Tucson‟s oldest Catholic church!
You are invited to bring good and useful items for our rummage sale to Holy Family Church starting on Monday,
October 23 during office hours. On Saturdays we will be receiving rummage donations from 11:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m.
as well as before the Saturday 4:00 p.m. Vigil Mass from 3:00-3:50 p.m. The annual rummage sale is a welcome source of income for our church and will be part of our Fiesta program.
Due to further needs to save on our expenses, the Parish Office Hours have been changed on Wednesdays to 12:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. On Mon. and Fri. the office will be open as usual from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our new office manager is Mrs. Sylvia
Cordova. Mrs. Jackie Case continues to work in our Finance department and Mrs. Irene Garcia continues in her function as
parish secretary. I am very grateful for their good and dedicated work!
I had the opportunity to attend the National Conference of the Catholic Medical Association (CMA) in Phoenix this past
October 6 and 7. I was accompanied by several doctors from our Tucson Catholic Physicians Guild which meets every month
at Holy Family Church for the celebration of Holy Mass (Latin) with an English sermon, and followed by a conference given
by one of the health care professionals who is a member of our guild. These conferences are also for me an occasion for continued formation in the medical field, so that I can assist our faithful better who are hospitalized, or who reside in an assistedcare facility, or are in hospice care. Being pro-life does not only concern the unborn, but also the suffering and the elderly.
This coming Saturday, October 22, Mr. Robert Way from the Way Law Firm in Tucson will give a seminar at Holy
Family Church/St. Gianna Oratory about end-of-life decisions, last wills, as well as medical and financial powers-ofattorney. If you are interested in participating at this seminar (see announcement in this bulletin), please contact Mr. Way‟s
law office for registration (520-445-6556). The seminar is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. in the church basement. I look
forward to participating with many of you, as I hope, at this unique occasion on how to learn more about these so-important
topics which concern us all.
On Sunday, October 30 we will celebrate the Feast of Christ the King which is the Patronal Feast of the Institute of Christ
the King. I invite you to pray the Novena, which is published in this bulletin, in preparation for this Solemnity.
On October 30 we will also have a second collection for our International Seminary in Florence, Italy where many
American seminarians are preparing for the sacred priesthood.
Wishing you a blessed month of October, I am yours sincerely in Christ the King,
Canon Richard von Menshengen, Parish Administrator and Rector
O Christ Jesus, I acknowledge Thee as King of the universe. All that has been made has been
created for Thee. Make full use of Thy rights over me.
I renew the promises I made in Baptism when I renounced Satan and all his pomps and works.
I promise to live a good Christian life. Especially, I undertake to help, to the extent of my
means, to secure the triumph of the rights of God and of Thy Church.
Divine Heart of Jesus, I offer Thee my poor efforts so that all hearts may acknowledge Thy
sacred Royalty and the Kingdom of Thy peace may be established throughout the entire
universe. Amen.

The Catholic Liturgy and the Roman Rite:
A short story by Canon Richard von Menshengen
In order to understand the Catholic Liturgy and its historic development it will be not only helpful but
even necessary for us to know the exact purpose of the Liturgy: What is the purpose, the reason for it?
Liturgy in the sense of an ordered edifice of prayers and rites serves as the sacred setting for the
celebration of the Divine Mysteries of our Faith, especially for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass.
The word liturgy is derived from the Greek word leitourgia which means "a public work”. In the Christian context “liturgy” signifies the "public prayer of the Catholic Church", which is "Opus Dei", a
"Work of God", a "Work which belongs to God", and which is the center and summit of the life of the
Church. Liturgy in this complete sense means the celebration of the Divine Mysteries in the Catholic
Church for the greater glorification of the Most Holy Trinity and for man's salvation.
God has created and redeemed this world for the external glorification of His Truth and Love, and of His
infinite perfect and uncreated Being. In the Liturgy of the Catholic Church this first purpose of Creation
and Redemption finds its highest realization and its absolute center and summit. By striving to glorify
God in the Catholic Church, and especially in the Liturgy, the second purpose of Creation and Redemption is fulfilled in us: We are re-created in Baptism, we share in God's perfections and are continuously
purified and sanctified, and we co-operate with God in our own salvation and in the salvation of others.
In order to understand the Catholic Liturgy, it will benefit us also to understand the doctrine of
Creation and of Original Sin, as well as the teachings of the Church on the subject of the Re-Creation
of fallen mankind through Jesus Christ the Redeemer:
God had created Adam and Eve in the state of original justice. Creation in Paradise included for Adam
and Eve the divine life of grace. Redemption in the sense of Re-Creation became necessary for man's
salvation because Adam and Eve had rebelled against God in Paradise through the evil intervention of
Satan. The evil one tempted them in the disguise of a snake to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil so that they would die. Original sin was not just picking a fruit without asking or a fruit which
was forbidden. The commandment of God, not to touch or eat from this tree, marked a divine commandment given to our first parents. This commandment constituted the sacrifice that Adam and Eve should
bring to God in order to honor Him as their absolute Sovereign, Lord and Master on Whom they should
accept to be dependent and under whose authority they should live obediently. This commandment
allowed them to adore and thank God by keeping it faithfully.
Sacrifice is a duty of man towards God and it is the highest expression of the virtue of religion
which is part of the virtue of justice. This was the Liturgy of Paradise in the Garden of Eden, namely,
the holy respect for God's commandment not to touch the tree of the knowledge of good and evil or to eat
of its fruits, for God's greater glory and for man's eternal salvation. After original sin and the expulsion of
our first parents from Paradise, God instituted different forms of bloody and unbloody sacrifices which
should be offered to Him for His glorification. These sacrifices had the purpose to profess and to express
visibly man's adoration of God, thanksgiving, petition and atonement to God. The sacrifices of Abel,
Noah, Abraham, Moses, and then later in the temple of Jerusalem, prefigured the one and perfect sacrifice
of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the Human Race, which He would offer in due time, fixed by the Father in
Heaven. The Redemption of Christ then brought to mankind reconciliation with God. In the sacrament of
Baptism we are re-created through the merits of Christ's Passion and Death on the Cross. We receive the
divine life of grace which our first parents had lost for themselves and for their posterity through their
rebellion against God. Christ is the new Adam Who repaired and gained in superabundance what the old
Adam had destroyed and lost.
As the person of Christ is of such supreme importance for the Liturgy and for our Redemption, let us have a
closer look at Him and on Who and What He is:
Christ is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity Who took flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Christ unites thus - within the Divine Person of His Godhead - an uncreated Divine nature and an assumed and
created human nature with a true body and a true soul. This union of the divine and the human natures of Christ
in the Godhead of the Second Person of the Trinity is called "hypostatical union" (hypostasis means person in
Greek). Christ is one person (the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity) and he has two natures: an uncreated
divine nature and a created human nature. As both of Christ‟s natures are united together in the Divine Person
of His Godhead, Christ is not two persons but only one person (Christ is the Second Person of the Most
Holy Trinity), and because the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity became man (Mystery of the Incarnation) in Mary‟s womb through the power of the Holy Ghost, Christ has two natures as explained above.
On account of this double nature of Christ, both divine and human, Christ is the true Mediator between fallen
mankind and God, the bridge between Heaven and earth, the only one Who could redeem us in true justice
before God: In His human nature He could merit before God, and on account of His divine nature Christ's
merits are of infinite value. Christ was thus able to atone for the infinite offense which the immense ocean of
human sins constitute before the Justice of God. God has the right to be honored by mankind as our Creator and
as our Redeemer. Our sins offend God and each mortal sin is an infinite offense against God's goodness and
holiness. In Christ God became man so that man can find reconciliation with God. We find Christ in the
Catholic Church.
Christ offers to mankind the fruits of His Redemption through the Catholic Church which He founded on the
Rock of Peter. There is no salvation available or possible outside the Catholic Church and there is no liturgy
either that pleases God outside that of the Catholic Church. Outside the Catholic Church means to be separated
from Jesus because the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of the Lord. All those who will be saved are
saved through the merits of Jesus Christ, and they are saved in the arms of the Catholic Church. Whosoever
rejects the Catholic Church and its teachings, sacraments, or government through grave personal culpability,
cannot be saved, but condemns himself. It is not possible to separate the Catholic Church from Jesus Christ or
to separate Jesus Christ from the Catholic Church.
The chief liturgist in the Catholic Church is thus Jesus Christ Himself, our High Priest and Immaculate
Victim:
The Risen Christ is the center of the Heavenly Liturgy of the Church Triumphant at the Throne of God where
He glorifies the Father in the Holy Spirit and hereby leads all the Angels and Saints with the Blessed Virgin
Mary in prayer. In this heavenly liturgy Christ shows the Father the glorified marks of His victorious Passion
on His hands, His feet and His pierced Heart in order to intercede on our behalf.
Jesus is also the chief liturgist on earth in the Kingdom of the Church Militant (The Catholic Church on earth).
He acts through the ordained ministers (Pope, Bishops, priests, deacons) to teach, sanctify and to govern His
flock and to offer to the Most Holy Trinity infinite glorification through the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass which is the center and summit of the Catholic Liturgy on earth.
Year 33 A.D. Holy Thursday:
Jesus Christ celebrates the First Mass in the setting of the Jewish Pasch Meal, which was a sacrificial meal that
reminded the Jews of their deliverance under Moses from slavery in Egypt. The deliverance from the slavery in
Egypt is a type for the perfect deliverance from sin, from the devil and from death, which Our Lord would
accomplish on Good Friday through His sacrificial and redemptive Passion and Death on the cross. The Mass
of the Last Supper was celebrated in view of Christ's bloody death on Good Friday. Jesus consecrated His
Apostles Bishops during His first Mass and gave them the order to celebrate Mass in memory of Him:
“Hoc facite in meam commemorationem/ Do this in memory of Me.” Until our times the Catholic Church has
been celebrating the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in obedience to her divine Master.

Eighteenth Sunday After Pentecost
The Liturgy today alludes to the ordinations of Ember Saturday. Christ is our Savior, and the Priests of the
Church are made rich in Him. The Church is blessed abundantly in and through Our Lord Jesus Christ.
INTROIT: Ecclus. 36: 18; Ps. 121: 1 Give peace, O Lord, to them that patiently wait for Thee, that Thy prophets
may be found faithful: hear the prayers of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel. (Psalm) I rejoiced at the
things that were said to me: we shall go into the house of the Lord. Glory be to the Father. Give peace….
COLLECT: Let the exercise of Thy compassion, we beseech Thee, O Lord, direct our hearts: for without Thee
we are not able to please Thee. Through Our Lord….
EPISTLE: I Cor. 1: 4-8
Lesson from the First Epistle of Blessed Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
The Priests have been “blessed in Christ Our Lord with all manner of riches, both of utterance and know-ledge.”
Let us give thanks to God.
Brethren, I give thanks to my God always for you, for the grace of God that is given you in Jesus
Christ, that in all things you are made rich in Him in all utterance and in all knowledge, as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you; so that nothing is wanting to you in any grace, waiting for
the manifestation of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Who also will confirm you unto the end without crime,
in the day of the coming of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Deo Gratias.
GOSPEL: Mt. 9: 1-8
† Continuation of the holy Gospel according to St. Matthew
Healing of the man sick of the palsy at Capharnaum. The Priests have received power to heal souls, to pardon sinners.
At that time, Jesus entering into a boat, passed over the water and came into His own city. And behold they brought Him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed; and Jesus seeing their faith, said to the
man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee. And behold some of the
scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth. And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you
think evil in your hearts? whether is easier to say: Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say: Arise and
walk? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins (then said He
to the man sick of the palsy): Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house. And he arose, and went
into his house. And the multitude seeing it feared and glorified God Who had given such power to
men. Laus tibi Christe.
OFFERTORY: Ex. 24: 4,5 Moses consecrated an altar to the Lord, offering upon it holocausts, and sacrificing victims:
he made an evening sacrifice to the Lord God for an odor of sweetness, in the sight of the children of Israel.
SECRET: O God, Who, by Thy venerable intercourse with us in this Sacrifice dost make us partakers of the one
Supreme Godhead: grant, we beseech Thee, that as we know Thy truth, so we may follow it by worthy lives. Through
Our Lord….
COMMUNION: Ps. 95: 8-9 Bring up sacrifices, and come into His courts: adore ye the Lord in His holy court.
POSTCOMMUNION: We have been renewed, O Lord, by Thy sacred Gift, and thank Thee, beseeching Thee in Thy
mercy to make us worthy partakers in It. Through Our Lord….

XXIX Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario A
Lecturas:
Isaías 45: 1, 4-6
Salmo: 96: 1, 3, 4-5, 7-8, 9-10
1 Tesalonicenses: 1: 1-5b
Meditación: Mateo 22: 15-21
No era extraño pedir la opinión de un rabino de renombre sobre un asunto controvertido.
Pero en este caso, Jesús conocía la maldad de sus interlocutores, y por la hipocresía de su planteamiento se daba cuenta de que trataban de ponerle trampas.
Antes de responder, el Señor les hizo reconocer que sin duda eran súbditos del César, ya que usaban
monedas con su efigie. Luego declaró que el reconocer los derechos del César no era incompatible
con el de darle a Dios lo que a Él le correspondía, es decir, el culto y la obediencia. Los fariseos y los
herodianos esperaban una respuesta de “sí” o “no”, en cuyo caso habrían denunciado a Jesús de todas maneras. Quien rehusara pagar los impuestos se hacía enemigo del estado, y quien respaldara
dicho pago sería considerado cómplice de la aborrecida ocupación romana. Pero Jesús hizo recaer
la responsabilidad sobre ellos mismos, ya que los desafiaba a cumplir con Dios como lo hacían con el
César.
Nosotros también tenemos que cumplir con Dios tan seriamente como lo hacemos con el estado. En
general, pagamos los impuestos y cumplimos los deberes ciudadanos con mayor regularidad que como residentes del Reino de Dios. Esa es la realidad, aunque reconozcamos que todo gobierno civil
pasará y que el Reino de Dios es eterno. Tertuliano (c.160-c. 225) encontró un significado más profundo en esta declaración de Jesús: “O sea, den al César la imagen del César, que está en la moneda, y a Dios la imagen de Dios, que es el hombre; por consiguiente, da tu dinero al César, pero a
Dios date tú mismo.”
Esta idea es similar a lo que San Pablo decía a los tesalonicenses cuando los felicitaba diciéndoles:
“Continuamente recordamos qué activa ha sido su fe, qué servicial su amor, y qué fuerte en los sufrimientos su esperanza” (1 Tesalonicenses 1,3). ¿Cómo podemos probar nuestra fe? Siendo perseverantes en la oración diaria y en la lectura de su Palabra; participando en la celebración litúrgica
con los hermanos, compartiendo la fe con los demás en casa, en el trabajo, en las diversiones o en la
escuela. ¿Cuál es la obra de nuestro amor? El servicio a los demás sin exigir nada a cambio.
“Padre amado, enséñanos a no buscar la recompensa en este mundo, sino trabajar con decisión para
apurar la venida de Jesús, tu Hijo amado, y el establecimiento de su Reino en la tierra.”

La Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia es una de los lugares de interés histórico de Tucson.
En el ano 1913, la iglesia fue construida en el estilo de las misiones en el barrio hispano Dunbar Springs cerca
a la universidad de Arizona. Fue consagrada el 14 de enero 1915 por Monseñor Henry R. Granjon, tercer
obispo de Tucson (1900-1922).
Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia es la más antigua parroquia de Tucson. Su primer párroco, el Padre Lucas de
San José O.C.D., y su socio Fr. Eduardo del Niño Jesús O.C.D., fueron beatificados por el Papa Benedicto
XVI el 28 de octubre, 2007 - la Fiesta de Cristo Rey.
Hoy la iglesia católica de Sagrada Familia es el hogar de ambos Parroquia de la Sagrada Familia y Santa
Gianna Oratorio que ofrece la liturgia latina tradicional.Ambas comunidades están bajo el cuidado del
Instituto de Cristo Rey Soberano Sacerdote. Bl. Lucas y Bl. Eduardo, ruega por nosotros!
