Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Tombstone, Arizona CHURCH HISTORY In 1879 Rev. John Baptist Salpointe, Vicar Apostolic of Arizona sent Father Antonio Jouvenceau to Tombstone to ascertain the need for a church in the busy mining camp. Church Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish services were being held in vacant rooms or closed bars. Led by Nellie Cashman “Angel of the Camp”, the citizens of Tombstone raised money to build a one and a half story adobe building that housed a rectory on the top floor and a church on the bottom floor. This building was Tombstone, Arizona dedicated on January 1, 1881, becoming the first church building in Tombstone. In 1882, a larger wooden church was constructed on the corner of Sixth and Safford, April 4, 2021 –Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord facing Sixth Street. Nellie Cashman was again involved in the construction efforts. She raised money and borrowed a wagon and team to haul wood from the Chiricahua Mountains. The new church allowed the 1881 building to be used solely as a rectory. The 1882 church served the Tombstone community until about 1946 when it was moved to its present location. In 1947, a new church was constructed on the corner of Sixth and Safford Streets under the guidance of Father Thomas Doyle, Pastor. This church faced Safford Street. Later the property north of the church, which included two large 1880’s entwining Lady Banksia rose trees, was donated to the church. The property became part of the Sacred Heart Complex, which includes the classroom building constructed in 1965 (now the Sacred Heart Thrift Store), and the new rectory built in 1972. Under the direction of Father John Fahey (Pastor 1999-2003), restoration work was started on all the buildings. The 1881 church-rectory serves as the parish office; the 1882 church building serves as the parish hall; and the 1947 church building continues to be used for church services. The bell was manufactured in 1883 by Rumsey Mfg. Co. of St Louis, Mo. and used to sit on a bell tower beside the Old Church and the new one. It was moved to the top of the church in September 2000. It has a wonderful sound and is rung before each Mass on the weekends. In February 2002, all three buildings as well as the beautiful Rose Tree Garden behind the church were placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. Church-598 East Safford Street, Office-592 East Safford St. Restoration work is an ongoing activity and Father William Gyure (2013-2017) PO Box 547 continued the work that Father Fahey started. The inside as well as the outside of the buildings have had much work done; as well as the beautification of the grounds. The last thing that Fr. Tombstone, Arizona 85638 Bill did before retiring was have a new floor put in the Church. Fr. Matt Crehan O.F.M., our Phone: (520) 457-3364 last priest got beautiful new lighting for the inside of the church.

We Priest’s e-mails: [email protected] [email protected] are taking the first joyful steps on a fifty-day-long celebration. In the southern hemisphere, the world is slipping into winter, but for us in North America, the earth itself seems to sing hymns to Christ’s victory. Look this morning for the fresh paschal candle standing near the baptismal waters. It was consecrated in Easter Sunday of the Resurrecton of the Lord: April 4, 2021 the hours of the night, will burn brightly for fifty days whenever we gather for I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. prayer, and will glow again at every baptism and every funeral in the year (Psalm 118:17) ahead. Even though we may be gathered around the candle someday in sadness, today’s joy at Christ’s victory over death will shine through. (J.S. Paluch Co.) Catholic Quiz: This week’s Question: “What is the origin of the ‘Easter egg Did You Know…that our Parish has a Corporate board? roll’?” The answer to last week’s Question: “What is ‘Bright Week’?” The Following the reorganization of the Diocese, each Parish became separately eight-day week, beginning with Easter and ending the following Sunday is one incorporated, under the Diocese of Tucson. The Corporate Board of each of the Octaves kept by the church. It is traditional to consider the octave day as parish is made up of: the Bishop of Tucson, the Vicar General of the Diocese, belonging to the feast, so that Easter would last eight days, including two the Pastor of the parish, and two Lay Board Members. Martin Devere serves as Sundays: Easter itself (the high feast) and the following Sunday (the “low” one, the Treasurer of the Sacred Heart of JESUS Corporate Board, and Jan Andrews thus the old name: “Low Sunday”). It was once common practice for those who serves as our Board Secretary. The Board is required to meet twice a year to had been baptized during the year, especially those initiated at the Easter Vigil, conduct business, and the Bishop and the Vicar General are usually present ‘by to wear white clothes to Mass during the octave.

  • Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8
    Lenten Quiz for Levels 5-8 1. What is the liturgical color during Lent? Violet The liturgical color during Lent is violet, typically. However, there are a few days throughout the season that use other colors. The feasts of the Annunciation, on March 25, and St. Joseph, on March 19, can use white vestments, as can Holy Thursday and Holy Saturday. The Fourth Sunday of Lent, Laetare Sunday, calls for the color rose where it is the custom. The Sixth Sunday during Lent, Palm Sunday, uses red vestments, as does Good Friday. 2. Ash Wednesday is a Holy Day of Obligation. False. Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation as many mistakenly believe, but it tends to be one of the more crowded Masses of the Church Year. It is certainly a good idea to start out the season of Lent with this important Mass, which reminds us of the penitence we are to be practicing during the season, as well as our own mortality. 3. Why do we receive ashes on Ash Wednesday? Because of the penitential nature of the season. We receive ashes as a reminder of our repentance, sorrow, and humility, as ashes symbolize in the Bible. They also remind us that “thou art dust, and to dust thou shall return.” (It is also not a requirement that Catholics receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.) 4. Why do Catholics set aside Fridays as particularly sacrificial days? Because it is the day Christ died for our sins. Fridays are always considered sacrificial days, both during Lent and during the rest of the year, because Christ died for us on the cross on a Friday.

  • Sermon Transcript: Good Friday
    Copyright © 2017 Territorial Mission Resources Department - Australia Southern Territory 1 Written by Christopher Trodden B.A (Bib.Stud) Easter series: Message 2 Sermon Outline: Good Friday Topic: Easter Friday Main Point: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door that leads to eternal life. Intended Response: Step into a new way of living and reveal the Kingdom of God to others by opening the door to Jesus (Rev 3:20). Key Text Jn 10:7-15 Introduction When we think of Easter Friday, we often recall the dramatic imagery surrounding Jesus’ trial and crucifixion. This message seeks to engage our congregation and visitors by exploring another image – Jesus as the door to life. A. Jesus calls Himself a door Our faith is in the safest place when we trust in Jesus. Jesus was prepared to lay His life down to save ours. As the Good Shepherd, He will never leave us in times of trouble. Point One: Jesus truly is the Greatest Door of all! B. Why did Jesus die on Good Friday Sin came flooding into the earth when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. Actions open doors of consequence and sin. On Good Friday, Jesus opened up the door to eternal life. Point Two: Because of Jesus’ sacrifice on Good Friday, we can now enter through the door to eternal life. C. On the cross, Jesus closed the door that gives sin the rule over our lives But why didn’t Jesus lock the door to sin? We have a choice to close the door to sin and open the door to Jesus.
