APRIL 2017 CATHOLIC OUTLOOK 7 Cardinal Joseph Tobin, advocate of many of Pope Francis’ ideals, to speak to public April 3

By MICHAEL BROWN Managing Editor “As a Christian, our life is not contained simply within the four walls of the church,” said Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin of Newark, NJ. Cardinal Tobin, a Redemptorist, will be coming to Tucson and speaking on Catholic social teaching April 3 at 7 p.m. at the Redemptorist Renewal Center. He spoke to the Catholic Outlook in a phone interview last month. The cardinal made national news March 10 when he accompanied a 59-year-old grandfather, Catalino Guerrero, an undocumented immigrant, to a deportation hearing. “I was joining other faith leaders in trying to put a face on the plight of the undocumented people in our country,” Cardinal Tobin said. Guerrero suffers from diabetes and a heart condition, and has worked in the US for 25 years, raising and supporting his family.

YouthFest

Catholic Outlook photos by Michael Brown and Steff Koeneman Lent is a busy time in the Catholic Church and southern Arizona. Clockwise, beginning from the top left, Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas greets those who plan to enter the Church at Easter, during the celebration of the Rite of Election at St. Augustine Cathedral March 5. Many Catholics take advantage of programs offered in Lent to deepen their faith. Bishop Kicanas spoke to high school students attending YouthFest 2017 at the Tucson Convention Center March 11. Nearly 600 young people – including middle schoolers and adult chaperones – enjoyed the full-day event. The bishop told them “You are a mighty wave. You are the hope of the Church.” Diocesan and parish staff, religious educators and Catholic school administrators and teachers were in the same venue a day earlier for Faith Formation Day 2017 to hear keynote speaker Ann Garrido, an educator from the Archdiocese of St. Louis and national expert and author on books aimed at resolving conflicts among groups. It was also a time to renew old friendships. About 500 attended that event. 10 CATHOLIC OUTLOOK APRIL 2017 Following the Son: Parish beaming over solar panels By MICHAEL BROWN Managing Editor TUCSON — “OMOS gets its Power from the sun/Son.” The sign outside Our Mother of Sorrows Parish office means exactly what it says, said pastor Msgr.

Creation is God’s gift, and it is given in great abundance,” he said. “The Gospel calls us to share it with the community and to be a conveyor of God’s love.” In 2008, the parish began a long foray into solar power, spurred by its Care for Creation committee, Catholic Outlook photo by Michael Brown which included architect Hank Our Mother of Sorrows Parish placed many of its solar panels on the car canopy in the parish parking lot.

Me agradaba mucho ser parte de una comunidad de intelectuales, y a menudo disfrutaba de prolongadas conversaciones y pláticas sobre teología, la Iglesia, y el mundo.

El vía crucis viviente forma parte de la celebración Pascual

La Cuaresma y la Semana Santa van dando paso al triduo Pascual: Jueves Santo, Viernes Santo y el Domingo de Pascua.

Al menos dos parroquias de Tucson ofrecerán vía crucis vivientes en inglés y en español el 14 de abril. A las 3 p.m. en la Catedral de San Agustín, 192 S. Stone Ave., se celebrará el servicio en inglés, y el servicio en idioma español iniciará en la Capilla de San Cosme, 460 W. Simpson St. En San Juan Evangelista, 602 W. Ajo Way, el servicio en inglés comienza a las 2 p.m. seguido del servicio en español a las 6 p.m. Consulte en su parroquia Católica local para enterarse de las actividades de su comunidad.
