SOLEMNITY OF SAINTS PETER AND PAUL APOSTLES
This Sunday, the Church invites us to venerate and celebrate Saints Peter and Paul. Two very important men in the history of the Church, in their conversion, dedication, following, and witness as preachers, are very missionary, full of courage in the experience of the Risen Christ.
LET'S PREPARE OUR HEARTS BEFORE MASS
Taking time to read and pray with the Mass readings helps to prepare your heart to receive exactly what God wants to communicate to you.
Mass Readings for Sunday, June 29
Un Mensaje Del Padre Carlos
Hemos celebrado con gran alegría muchas bendiciones en las fiestas de los domingos y entre semana, y seguimos, este domingo la Iglesia nos invita a venerar y a celebrar a San Pedro y San Pablo. Dos hombres muy importantes en su conversión, entrega, seguimiento y testimonio de predicadores en la historia de la Iglesia son muy misioneros, llenos de valentía en la experiencia de Cristo Resucitado. Si nos ponemos a meditar la primera lectura, como Dios escogió a Pedro para ser el sucesor de Cristo, llamado Roca, Piedra y sobre ella edificar la Iglesia, y por otro lado San Pablo a Timoteo nos invita a meditar en lo que sucedió con Pablo, que no fue de entre los 12 pero fue un super apóstol, con un celo increíble por la extensión y predicación del Reino de Dios. Con Pedro nos quedamos maravillados como Dios lo sigue protegiendo y sacando a la luz para que siga su misión, aunque al final muera, pero lo hace como un testigo de la verdad, de la salvación. San Pablo termina haciendo la misma confesión, la permanencia de Dios con él en su misión y encargo, y satisfecho de esa obra que Dios ha sido el director, guía, el actor principal, y Pablo un instrumento en sus manos.
El evangelio nos recuerda la pregunta a nosotros, ¿quién dice la gente que soy yo? y usted, y usted, ustedes, ¿tu familia, quien dicen que soy oyendo la misma pregunta para hoy, demos respuesta desde lo vivido, lo conocido y recordado por El, estaré con ustedes hasta el final de sus días. Hombres, mujeres, niños, sigamos dando respuesta, pongámoslo como centro de nuestra vida, parroquia, familia, Él es el que ha salvado al mundo, y como Pedro y Pablo seamos comprometidos con ese mensaje de buena nueva que debemos extender y hacer vivo. No se olviden, no nos olvidemos de sus promesas, hasta el fin de sus días, Bendiciones

Remembering Fr. Casimir Cypher, OFM Conv.
(1941-1975)
June 25 was the 50th anniversary of the death of
Fr. Casimir Cypher OFM Conv. who was martyred in Honduras
Fr. Casimir was born in Medford, WI in 1941. He entered the Conventual Franciscan Friars' Minor Seminary in Crystal Lake, IL, eventually being ordained a priest in 1968. After serving as a parish priest in Rockford, IL, and two years with us at Our Lady of Guadalupe, Fr. Casimir received permission to fulfill his long-time dream of serving as a missionary.
Fr. Casimir arrived in Honduras in 1973, living and ministering in the remote and rugged state of Olancho - the "Wild West" of Honduras. It was only a little more than a year after being missioned to Honduras that Fr. Casimir (or “Padre Casimiro” as the local villagers called him) was caught up in a violent storm of unrest. For some time, the oppressed peasant farmers (or "campesinos") had been organizing for land reform, much to the anger of the military dictatorship then ruling Honduras and their wealthy, land-owning supporters. The Catholic Church supported the campesinos in their struggle for justice, leading to a nationwide persecution of the Church. The military searched retreat and catechetical centers throughout the country, seized radios, and arrested priests, religious, and laypeople working with the Church.
On June 25, 1975, Fr. Casimir drove his borrowed pickup into the city of Juticalpa for repairs. He was unaware that the National Union of Campesinos had organized a demonstration that day for better implementation of land reform legislation. Hearing gunshots, Fr. Casimir ran toward the commotion. Knowing that he was a priest, soldiers arrested him. He was stripped in the town square, ridiculed, and beaten. Along with another priest, Fr. Ivan Betancort, two of Fr. Ivan's companions, and ten campesino leaders, Fr. Casimir was brutally tortured and executed. Fr. Casimir was only 34 years old. This night of diabolical violence is known in Honduras as the "Los Horcones" (or "Pitchforks," after the name of the ranch on which the killings took place) Massacre.
Fr. Casimir's remains were recovered shortly after and eventually buried in the church of St. Jerome in Gualaco, Honduras. Fr. Casimir was a true son of St. Francis. His life was characterized by simplicity, personal poverty, and a good sense of humor. He painted, wrote poetry, and loved serving the poor and disadvantaged. May his example inspire us to love and serve Christ in the poor and marginalized!
The process of Canonization for Fr. Casimir began in 2013.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Every Catholic is called to protect the most vulnerable, including children who are at risk for abuse and exploitation.
If you are working with or around minors in the Catholic Church in the parish, sports, clubs, or school settings, you are required by the Archdiocese to complete a Live Scan and be fingerprinted. If you are a parent volunteer and have been fingerprinted previously, you do not need to do it again. Contact the church office if you have questions.
Find out how your community is working to prevent child abuse and get involved. You can continue to learn best tips and prevention practices through the following DID YOU KNOW articles each week.
June 28-29 || Summer and water safety at home
While parents are often hyper vigilant around pools and lakes, drowning can happen at home in an instant, especially with very young children. This summer, watch children around water at home, including buckets, containers, and kiddie pools. Children can drown in as little as an inch of water, so constant supervision is necessary. It’s also important to empty water containers as soon as play is done. For more tips about home water safety, visit https://www.safekids.org/watersafety
Verano y seguridad en el agua en casa
Aunque los padres a menudo estén hipervigilantes cerca de piscinas y lagos, un ahogamiento puede ocurrir en casa en un instante, sobre todo con niños muy pequeños. Este verano, vigile a los niños cuando estén cerca del agua en casa, incluyendo cubos, recipientes y piscinas infantiles. Los niños pueden ahogarse en tan sólo un centímetro de agua y por esta razón es importante la supervisión constante. También es importante vaciar los recipientes de agua en cuanto terminen de jugar. Para más consejos sobre la seguridad en el agua en el hogar, visite https://www.safekids.org/checklist/lista-de-control-de-la-seguridad-en-la-piscina
