Edson Elizarraras Hi! I’m Edson Elizarraras. My home Parish is Immaculate Conception, where Msgr. Richard O’Keeffe served as Pastor for more

than 30 years and was succeeded by Father Javier Perez. I am currently studying at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake/

Mundelein Seminary and am in my 3rd year of Theology. At the age of 9, I immigrated from Mexico City to Yuma with my very

loving and united family. I am the youngest of three children and the only one to graduate high school --which was Cibola High in

2005. While deciding what my place in society would be, I continued with my studies in the Nursing Program at Arizona Western

College. I received my certification as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). While working at Yuma Regional Medical Center with the sick and most vulnerable,

I strongly felt the call to serve the Lord in the unique vocation of the priesthood. In 2008, I was accepted into the Diocese of Tucson as a Seminarian and

began my journey at Mount Angel Seminary in Oregon. In 2012, I graduated with a BA in philosophy from Mount Angel Seminary and was transferred to

Chicago to continue my graduate studies and my formation to the Priesthood at Mundelein Seminary. This “yes, Lord” has taken me on a journey filled with

setbacks and challenges, while still trying to be a witness of the Gospel to others. At the same time, however, this path to holiness has been an experience

of both joy and peace from God that can never be taken away.

God willing, in the summer of 2016, I will be called to the Holy Orders of the Priesthood. Please keep me in your prayers and I will pray for you

also.

UPDATE DIAMOND CELEBRATION As you know, each calendar year from now through 2016 will emphasize a different aspect of our Parish. The first year, 2013, was dedicated to the Mission of Our Lady of Guadalupe; the various groups that were a part of the fabric of Our Lady of Guadalupe were emphasized. The second year, 2014, was dedicated to the Franciscan Sisters and began on January 12, 2014 with a Mass and reception. The history of the Sisters and other events were emphasized. The year closed with a Solemn Mass presided over by the Most Reverend Gerald Kicanas on December 7, 2014. This year, 2015 is dedicated to the Immaculate Conception School. It began with an Open House at the School on Sunday, January 25, 2015. When our Diamond Celebration started in January 2013, we encouraged our Parishioners to support a campaign to raise the necessary funds to continue the celebration through 2016. At that time, each family was asked to pledge $600.00 over a 3-year period. Many of you did so and we THANK YOU, but others haven't had the opportunity. To date we have received pledges of $264,125.10 but it is not too late to make a pledge at this time. We have made some great improvements to Our Lady of Guadalupe and to the convent, and we hope to continue our goals at the school and in our Church. The Parish office can assist you with any questions. Thank you.

ACTUALIZACION CELEBRACION DIAMANTE Como usted sabe, cada año hasta llegar al 2016 se hará hincapié en un aspecto diferente de Nuestra Parroquia. El año 2013, fue dedicado a la Misión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe; se destacaron los diversos grupos que formaban parte de la tela de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. El segundo año fue dedicado a las Hermanas Franciscanas. El año 2014 inicio con una Misa y recepción el 12 de Enero. Se hizo hincapié en la historia de las hermanas y otros eventos. El año cerro con una Misa solemne presidida por el reverendo Obispo Gerald Kicanas el 7 de Diciembre, 2014. Este año estará dedicado a la escuela Inmaculada Concepción. La celebración dio inicio con una bienvenida el Domingo, 25 de Enero de 2015. Cuando nuestra celebración diamante dio inicio en enero de 2013, animamos a nuestros feligreses para que apoyaran una campaña para recaudar los fondos necesarios para continuar con la celebración hasta 2016. Se le pidió a cada familia una donación de $600.00 durante un período de 3 años. Muchos de ustedes hicieron su promesa, pero otros no. Hasta la fecha hemos recibido $264.125.10. Aun no es demasiado tarde para hacer su promesa. Hemos hecho algunas mejoras a nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y al convento y esperamos poder continuar con las metas de la escuela y de nuestra iglesia. Llame a la oficina Parroquial para cualquier pregunta. Gracias.
