Deacon Miguel Robles What does it mean to be a deacon? [Continued from last week] The word "Deaconate" is derived from "Deacon" in Greek, which means "servant." It is the first level or degree of the Sacrament of order in the Catholic Church, before the priesthood and the episcopate. It is important to note that according to Canon Code 1031 there are two types of deacons, without changing their functions. There are temporary deacons, who, as their name implies, their service is in passing before receiving the order of the priesthood. There are also permanent deacons, also as their name indicates, they will always remain in their condition of deacons. But, let's discuss permanent deacons, these are men who can be celibate and before receiving the order of deaconate they must be at least 25 years old; as well as those married in the sacrament of marriage, they must necessarily be at least 35 years old at the time of their ordination (CC 1031s2).

Beltran By Ray Dyer The Sooner Catholic OLOG — Close to 1,000 people gathered under a massive tent at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Youth Camp for the May 15 celebration of the Eucharist. The Mass was the centerpiece of an eventful day in which Archbishop Eusebius J. Beltran celebrated his 50th anniversary of love and service as a Roman Catholic priest. And though the Oklahoma skies had released torren- tial rains and deadly, damaging winds earlier in the week, on this day the heavens held back. “We are one in Christ” was the message spelled out by the colorful Vietnamese liturgical dancers during their beautiful presentation of the offertory gifts. With family and friends taking part, Archbishop Beltran celebrated Mass as fellow bishops, along with several seminary class- mates, con-celebrated. Dozens of priests from throughout the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City and the Diocese of Tulsa took part in the Eucharistic celebration that opened with the reading of a letter of congratulations and celebration from Pope Benedict XVI. “As priest you were appointed a minister of continued on Page 8 Archbishop Beltran elevating the Host during his jubilee Mass.

Modern medical research and technology confirms more and more each day the belief that all human life, even in its earliest stages, has a special dignity and sacredness because it contains the very image and likeness of God.

    REBUILING THE MISSION Our Story The European colonial settlement of Villa de San Agustín de Laredo was founded in 1755 by Don Tomás Sánchez. At that time the area was part of the Nuevo Santander region in the Spanish colony of New Spain. Villa de San Agustín de Laredo was named after Laredo, Cantabria, Spain and in honor of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Ministering to the needs of the citizens at the time was the Franciscan Pastor of Revilla (now Guerrero, Mexico) but, as the spiritual needs of Laredoans increased, it was clear that a resident priest would be necessary. In December of 1759 a large contingent of Laredoans petitioned Bishop Fray Francisco de San Buenaventura Martinez de Tejada to send a priest for the 270 citizens living on both the northern and southern banks of the Rio Grande. Sanchez told the Bishop that a chapel was already under construction and that, although the citizens were very poor, they would be willing to pay 150 pesos annually and furnish the most essential vestments for Sunday Mass. Apparently, the Bishop was moved by their plight and agreed to offer the extra funds to provide a priest. On January 6, 1760, the founding date of the parish of San Agustín de Laredo, over 250 years ago, a new priest arrived from Boca de Leones (now Villaldama, Mexico). The fact that a diocesan priest was assigned to work with the then Hispanic community of Laredo is important because, at the time, Hispanic Catholics were historically served by religious order priests. In fact, the only other Hispanic community served by diocesan priests in the Southwestern United States at the time was in the Diocese of San Antonio.
