This weekend at the 11:00 Mass, one of our

parishioners, Mrs. Gloria Perez will be given the

Archbishop’s St. Francis Award for 2019. This

award has been granted to Gloria this year for the

MANY years of selfless service to the church and

very specifically to San Felipe.

In years past, the Archbishop himself

bestowed this award at the annual St. Francis feast

day celebration for the Archdiocese at the Cathedral

of St. Francis in Santa Fe. With the Chapter 11

proceedings happening, the Archbishop chose to for-

go that celebration and asked all the pastors to have a

special recognition of the recipients for this year.

We congratulate Gloria for her many years of

service and thank God for her and her witness to

service in this community. We further congratulate

all the previous recipients. You can find all their

names on the plaque in the entrance to The

Guadalupe Room (old sacristy). We pray God’s

continued blessings to all the previous awardees and

to Gloria this year.

Sincerely,

Rev. Andrew J. Pavlak, Pastor

Quinceanera Family Retreat

The Office of Youth, Young Adults & Campus

Ministries of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe will host a

Quinceanera Family Retreat for youth and their

parents preparing for their Fifteen Year Celebration.

Attendance at a Quinceanera Retreat is required to

have a Quinceanera. It will take place on Saturday,

December 7th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Catholic

Center. The cost is $35.00. The registration deadline is

Wednesday, November 27th. For more information

contact Della Montano at (505) 831-8142 or

Dmontano@archdiosf.org.

From the desk of your pastor, Fr. Andy

As I mentioned at the Masses recently, we

have had some unexpected, (some planned), expenses

for our physical plant. First off, the boiler for the

furnace in the rectory, that is the offices and

residence for the priest, went out and to repair that

was approximately $4,000.00. To completely replace

that would be in excess of $15,000.00 and most

likely more for additional electric and cement and

other issues that were not previously planned.

Secondly, the sewer pipes at the San Jose Mission

Church in Duranes got clogged with roots from the

trees. Replacing those sewer pipes was also just

around $4,000.00. Thirdly, something we have been

working on diligently for the last months is the audio/

visual system for the main San Felipe Church. That

update including new television monitors for The

Guadalupe (overflow) Room, Gaspari (adoration)

Chapel and confessional, speaker for the back of the

main church, speaker for the front courtyard and all

the related issues was just over $22,000.00.

All these expenses are being covered by the

most generous donations of YOU, our parishioners.

Yes, anyone who owns any sort of property knows

that these sorts of things happen. Most often, they

happen when you least expect it to occur. I just

wanted to let you know of these AND SINCERELY

THANK YOU, for all of your continual donations to

the Building Fund that are able to address these as

they occur.

May God continue to bless you and your

families during this time of repairs to our holy,

historic and venerable church and always.

Sincerely,

Rev. Andrew J. Pavlak, Pastor

LIFE IS HARD, BUT HAVE NO FEAR Today’s readings take a fearless look at reality and

reach a conclusion that we all know: life is hard. The

prophet Malachi preaches fire and brimstone, warning us that evildoers will perish in flames. Saint

Paul offers his own warning to the Thessalonians:

keep busy, but never become a busybody. He reminds Christians that the apostles themselves

worked in “toil and drudgery” as a model for how we

ought to contribute to our community. The Gospel

returns to the apocalyptic tone of Malachi, describing

the utter chaos of the end-times. We will know the

end is near when violence, catastrophe, and hatred

dominate the earth. But we must not fear! God’s saving plan brings peace to our hearts. Malachi

speaks of the sun’s “healing rays,” and Jesus himself

promises to protect every hair on our heads.
