St. John the Evangelist Catholic Parish has been a source of connection with God for the people of southern Tucson for over 90 years. What is the parish in the life of the Church? Very simply, a parish exists because of the community of believers who make it their spiritual home and to serve all people who come here for help, Catholic or not.<br /><br />Are you looking for a way to serve your neighbor, make deeper connections with other parishioners, build up others in the faith, etc.? The time is now for us to re-engage (or engage for the first time) with our parish family in a deeper way. As the pastor of St. John parish, each day I dedicate my prayers and tasks to these activities, as does Father Gonzalez.<br /><br />I pray this letter inspires you to take the first step to a deeper walk in our Catholic faith by attending one of the Masses during our &ldquo;Of One Heart&rdquo; weekend, which is April 30 - May 1. I will share important information before each Mass calling on all of us to be &ldquo;Of One Heart&rdquo; as we discuss our co-responsibility in service to our parish&rsquo;s mission:<br /><br /><em>&ldquo;Inspired by Our Lady of Guadalupe and united in faith with the universal Catholic Church, we build God&rsquo;s Church in our community through focus on worship, family, and healing.&rdquo;</em><br /><br />&#8203;The church does not exist in our neighborhood without you&hellip;the people who call St. John your spiritual home. So, I pray that God continue to bless all of you, and I also pray you accept this invitation to join me at Mass for our &ldquo;Of One Heart&rdquo; weekend on April 30 and May 1.<br /><br />&#8203;<span style="color:rgb(51, 0, 0)">In your humble service,</span><br /></div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:54.014598540146%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph">Estimados feligreses,<br /><br />&iexcl;Felices Pascuas! La parroquia cat&oacute;lica San Juan Evangelista, ha sido una fuente de conexi&oacute;n con Dios para la gente del sur de Tucson durante m&aacute;s de 90 a&ntilde;os. &iquest;Qu&eacute; es la parroquia en la vida de la Iglesia? Sencillamente, una parroquia existe debido a la comunidad de creyentes que la convierten en su hogar espiritual y para servir a todas las personas que vienen aqu&iacute; en busca de ayuda, sean cat&oacute;licas o no.<br /><br />&iquest;Est&aacute; buscando una manera de servir a su pr&oacute;jimo, hacer conexiones m&aacute;s profundas con otros feligreses, invitar a otros en la fe, etc.? Ahora es el momento de volver a comprometernos (o comprometernos por primera vez) con nuestra familia parroquial de una manera m&aacute;s profunda. Como p&aacute;rroco de la parroquia de San Juan, cada d&iacute;a dedico mis oraciones y tareas a estas actividades, al igual que el Padre Gonz&aacute;lez.<br /><br />Ruego que esta carta lo inspire a dar el primer paso hacia un caminar m&aacute;s profundo en nuestra fe cat&oacute;lica asistiendo a una de las Misas durante nuestro fin de semana "De un solo coraz&oacute;n", que es del 30 de abril al 1 de mayo. Compartir&eacute; informaci&oacute;n importante antes de cada Misa exhort&aacute;ndonos a todos a ser &ldquo;De un Solo Coraz&oacute;n&rdquo; mientras discutimos nuestra corresponsabilidad en el servicio a la misi&oacute;n de nuestra parroquia:<br /><br /><em>&ldquo;Inspirados por Nuestra Se&ntilde;ora de Guadalupe y unidos en la fe con la Iglesia Cat&oacute;lica universal, construimos la Iglesia de Dios en nuestra comunidad a trav&eacute;s del enfoque en la adoraci&oacute;n, la familia y la sanaci&oacute;n&rdquo;.</em><br /><br />&#8203;La iglesia no existe en nuestro vecindario sin ustedes&hellip;las personas que llaman a San Juan su hogar espiritual. Entonces, oro para que Dios contin&uacute;e bendici&eacute;ndolos a todos, y tambi&eacute;n oro para que acepten esta invitaci&oacute;n de unirse a m&iacute; en la misa para nuestro fin de semana "De un solo coraz&oacute;n" el 30 de abril y el 1 de mayo.<br /><br />En su humilde servicio,<br /></div>   					 				</td>			</tr> 		</tbody> 	</table> </div></div></div>  <div class="paragraph" style="text-align:center;"><em><strong>Monsignor Raul P.

I agree with their recommendation and the suspension of public worship is effective as of today, July 1st, 2020.&nbsp; This returns us temporarily to those protocols we were following just prior to the reopening of our parishes.&nbsp; You should anticipate a suspension of approximately four weeks but the matter will be reviewed daily and the suspension could be for a shorter or longer duration.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Those who follow national news are aware that the State of Arizona has been referenced across the nation for our substantial spike in Covid-19 cases.&nbsp; When the pandemic began I stressed that a primary factor on reopening would be the ability of our hospitals and medical personnel to respond adequately to the sick.&nbsp; Members of the medical community&mdash;who daily place themselves at great risk to serve us&mdash;are now telling us that we are at a crisis point.&nbsp; I believe that we owe it to these noble men and women to do our part in bringing the pandemic under control.&nbsp;<br /><br />For now, let us be committed to journeying in solidarity with the sick, the suffering, the unemployed, the frightened, and the healthcare workers who must daily face this pandemic without flinching.&nbsp; Join with your local parish for televised or internet Masses, or log onto the Diocese of Tucson web page and join me for daily Mass. The protocols we instituted for our parishes at the time of our reopening were sensible, thorough, and implemented with care and sensitivity. When we are able to open up once again these protocols will be reinstated. But for now, where it is safe, pastors will arrange for an outdoor distribution of Holy Communion after members of the faithful have observed a Mass via technology.&nbsp; Confessions will be heard only out-of-doors.&nbsp; The only public Masses will be funerals and weddings, and with a limit of ten persons in the congregation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />I wish to express my deep gratitude for the clergy and parish ministers who have responded so very well throughout the pandemic.&nbsp; They are extraordinary men and women and their fidelity to you and intense desire to be of service is a witness to the grace of their vocation.&nbsp;<br /><br />Let us pray that this suspension is brief and that we can soon be in one another&rsquo;s company.&nbsp; Let us also be unified in our resolve to lead the way in battling this pandemic.&nbsp; The witness and example of our lives and the intensity of our prayers will surely help to heal the world.<br /><br />May God bless you abundantly,<br /><br />+Edward J.

Estoy de acuerdo con su recomendaci&oacute;n y la suspensi&oacute;n del culto p&uacute;blico a partir del primero de Julio del a&ntilde;o en curso. Esto nos regresa temporalmente a los protocolos que est&aacute;bamos siguiendo justo antes de la reapertura de nuestras parroquias.&nbsp; Usted debe anticipar una suspensi&oacute;n de aproximadamente cuatro semanas, pero este asunto ser&aacute; revisado diariamente y la suspensi&oacute;n podr&iacute;a ser m&aacute;s corta o m&aacute;s larga.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />Aquellos que siguen las noticias nacionales est&aacute;n conscientes de que el estado de Arizona ha sido mencionado en todo el pa&iacute;s por el aumento sustancial en los casos de Covid-19.&nbsp; Cuando comenz&oacute; la pandemia, subray&eacute; que un factor principal en la reapertura ser&iacute;a la capacidad de nuestros hospitales y personal m&eacute;dico para responder adecuadamente a los enfermos.&nbsp; Los miembros de la comunidad m&eacute;dica, que diariamente se ponen en gran riesgo para servirnos, nos est&aacute;n diciendo ahora que estamos en un punto de crisis.&nbsp; Creo que hacer nuestra parte en poner la pandemia bajo control es lo que les debemos a estos nobles hombres y mujeres&nbsp;<br /><br />Por ahora, hagamos el compromiso de recorrer este camino en solidaridad con los enfermos, los que sufren, los desempleados, los asustados y el personal de salud que deben afrontar diariamente esta pandemia sin retroceder, &uacute;nase a su parroquia local para misas por televisi&oacute;n o por Internet, o inicie la sesi&oacute;n en la p&aacute;gina web de la Di&oacute;cesis de Tucson y acomp&aacute;&ntilde;eme para la misa diaria. Los protocolos que establecimos para nuestras parroquias en el momento de nuestra reapertura eran razonables, pr&aacute;cticos e implementados con cuidado y esmero. Cuando podamos abrir nuevamente, estos protocolos ser&aacute;n reestablecidos. Pero por ahora, donde sea prudente, los p&aacute;rrocos organizar&aacute;n una distribuci&oacute;n de la Santa Comuni&oacute;n al aire libre, despu&eacute;s de que los feligreses hayan escuchado misa a trav&eacute;s de la tecnolog&iacute;a.&nbsp; Las confesiones s&oacute;lo se escuchar&aacute;n fuera de las puertas.&nbsp; Las &uacute;nicas misas p&uacute;blicas ser&aacute;n funerales y bodas, y con un l&iacute;mite de diez personas en la congregaci&oacute;n.<br /><br />Deseo expresar mi profunda gratitud para el clero y los ministros parroquiales que han respondido tan bien a lo largo de la pandemia.&nbsp; Son hombres y mujeres extraordinarios; su fidelidad hacia ustedes y su intenso deseo de servir es testimonio de la gracia de su vocaci&oacute;n.<br /><br />Oremos para que esta interrupci&oacute;n sea breve y que pronto podamos estar en compa&ntilde;&iacute;a de los dem&aacute;s.&nbsp; Estemos tambi&eacute;n unidos en nuestra determinaci&oacute;n para servir de ejemplo en la lucha contra esta pandemia.&nbsp; El testimonio y el ejemplo de nuestra vida y la intensidad de nuestras oraciones seguramente ayudar&aacute;n a sanar al mundo.<br /><br />Que Dios los bendiga en abundancia,<br /><br />+Edward J.

Who will be next to catch it&nbsp;and will I be responsible for taking care of myself and others?<br /><br />Governments listening to the scientific and medical community have given us the necessary measures to practice keeping ourselves physically healthy.<br /><br />But in the midst of this, where is God and his Church? Has God left us alone to deal with this crisis? Churches have been closed and masses canceled. So without spiritual food, what role do we as Catholic Christians have in this crisis, which has no historical precedence?<br /><br />Our ancestors, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great-grandparents historically suffered similarly during long periods of persecution during which churches were closed and there&nbsp;was a shortage of priests. What did they do? They kept faith alive through catechesis, <span style="color:rgb(51, 0, 0)">family&nbsp;</span>prayer and the kind act of charity with others. They did not give up, they were brave, relying on faith, prayer and charity.<br /><br />Are we little less than our ancestors whose blood we have inherited and left us the legacy of their faith; a proven faith in worse circumstances than ours?<br /><br />God is with us, with churches open or closed. Christ offered himself for us on the Holy Cross, the only sacrifice of Salvation. Our Lady of Guadalupe came on our lands, and as a sign of the power of the True God, healed San Juan Diego&rsquo;s uncle, Juan Bernardino, from the horrible plague that&nbsp;devastated millions of people.<br /><br />Let's not back down. Let fear not lead us to selfishness and greed. The world lacks our faith and its testimony. Let us all be in prayer and spiritual communion even without the Eucharist and&nbsp;distanced from each other. It is the same Eucharist, that Sunday after Sunday without any sacrifice, was at our disposal and reminds us that the graces poured out on prior Sundays is not reduced to that single moment. We can neither limit nor prevent that grace from continuing much later to spread to us and to others.<br /><br />The Catholic Church continues in fullness through the Holy Spirit. Father Roberto and I continue to celebrate Holy Mass for you, each and every day.<br /><br />Last week, we baptized 30 children, visited the sick, and our school and catechism programs continue to serve children at home. Our parish office is still open and the church is open for your visits. The church is alive in you and me. So I beg you, the church needs you more than ever. In&nbsp;favor of our faith, continue to keep your offerings to this church for when God takes us to overcome this crisis, united all around the Eucharist as his sons and daughters, we praise him and give thanks in his holy temple.<br /><br />To send us your offering, you can deposit it in the candle box in the church, by mail, electronic fund transfer, or in the parish office mail box or in person at the parish office.<br /><br />Msgr.

Estemos todos en oraci&oacute;n y comuni&oacute;n espiritual aun sin la Eucarist&iacute;a&nbsp;y distanciados unos de otros. Es la misma Eucarist&iacute;a que domingo tras domingo, sin ning&uacute;n&nbsp;sacrificio, estaba a nuestra disposici&oacute;n que nos recuerda que las gracias derramadas en sus&nbsp;domingos pasados no se reduce a ese solo momento. No podemos ni limitar, ni impedir que esa&nbsp;gracia siga mucho despu&eacute;s difundi&eacute;ndose en nosotros y los dem&aacute;s.<br /><br />La Iglesia Cat&oacute;lica sigue en plenitud por el Esp&iacute;ritu Santo. El Padre Roberto y yo, seguimos celebrando la Santa Misa por ustedes, los dos cada d&iacute;a.<br /><br />La semana pasada, bautizamos 30 ni&ntilde;os, visitamos a los enfermos, nuestra escuela y programa de catecismo sigue sirviendo a los ni&ntilde;os en casa. Nuestra oficina parroquial sigue abierta y la&nbsp;iglesia abierta para sus visitas. La iglesia est&aacute; viva en ustedes y yo. Por eso les suplico, la&nbsp;iglesia los necesita a ustedes m&aacute;s que nunca. En favor a nuestra fe, sigan manteniendo sus&nbsp;ofrendas a esta iglesia para cuando Dios nos lleve a superar esta crisis, unidos todos alrededor&nbsp;de la Eucarist&iacute;a como sus hijos e hijas, lo alabemos y demos gracias en su santo templo.<br /><br />Para hacernos llegar su ofrenda, puede depositarla en la alcanc&iacute;a de las veladoras que est&aacute; en la iglesia, por correo, transferencia electr&oacute;nica, en el buz&oacute;n o personalmente en la oficina&nbsp;parroquial.<br /><br />Mons.

Raul Trevizo</font></strong><br /><br />On Monday, March 16th, Fr. Gonzalez and I, accompanied by members of the parish prayer groups as well as several young altar servers, gathered together to pray the Holy Rosary before the Blessed Sacrament.&nbsp; Scripture was proclaimed that inspired those present to trust in God&rsquo;s Providence during this difficult time.&nbsp; Songs were sung to lift up our hearts and minds.&nbsp; Then, at the conclusion of the recitation of the rosary, the Blessed Sacrament was solemnly carried in procession within the church, as well as outside around the perimeter of the church; asking for the mercy of our Lord for conversion of heart and spiritual purification. We asked for the intercession of Our Lady of Guadalupe that the spread of the COVID-19 virus be stopped and for a cure.&nbsp; It was a powerful experience of prayer for those present.<br /><br />Both Fr. Gonzalez and I, your priests, strongly believe that as a parish community, we are called to pray intensely during this time so that the spread of the virus stops and that a cure be found.&nbsp; For God, all things are possible as we pray in the Creed.<br /><br />Although the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will not be celebrated during this time, there is merit in offering our spiritual communions for protection and personal sanctification.&nbsp; The suspension of the Sunday Mass obligation does not remove Sunday from being a day of prayer.&nbsp; Therefore, all of us under the pain of sin must make some time for God on those days. One should also abstain from unnecessary work.&nbsp; For prayer on Sunday, one can recite the rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet, for example; or perhaps read a passage of the Bible and meditate over it.&nbsp; Aside from Sunday, 15 minutes of daily prayer would be of great benefit to us as we ask God to intervene with his mercy to stop the spread of this virus and also that he grants a cure.<br /><br />&#8203;Our primary concern is to continue to serve &ndash; and minister to &ndash; our parishioners while also supporting the broader community&rsquo;s efforts to halt the spread of the COVID-19 virus. In keeping with the directives released by Bishop Weisenburger on Monday, March 16, and consistent with the recommendations of the federal government, St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Parish will be taking the following actions:<ul><li><strong>Masses</strong> - All regularly scheduled Parish Masses have been suspended until Monday, April 6</li><li><strong>Parish Office</strong> - Our parish office will remain open for regular business hours to serve our parishioners by phone and electronic communications, or in person if necessary</li><li><strong>Adoration</strong> &ndash; One parishioner at a time may come to the parish office to request access to the adoration chapel. Adoration time will be limited to 15 minutes to ensure others also have an opportunity to spend time with the Blessed Sacrament. Adoration time is limited to parish office hours, which are 9am &ndash; 4pm, Monday through Thursday and 9am - 12:30pm on Friday.</li><li><strong>Anointing of the Sick</strong> &ndash; Priests will continue to administer this sacrament by appointment. Please call the parish office with as much advance notice as possible. Any sick or injured person may receive this sacrament at any stage of their injury or illness.</li><li><strong>Reconciliation</strong> &ndash; Saturday reconciliation times will still take place at 4pm and 7:30pm. Priests will offer open-air confessions and will be visible from your vehicle. We ask that you remain in your vehicle until you see that a priest is available to hear confession. Confessions may also be scheduled by appointment by calling the parish office.</li><li><strong>Scheduled Baptisms, Quincea&ntilde;eras, etc.</strong> &ndash; Someone from our parish office will be contacting each of these families to provide details of how we plan to meet your families&rsquo; sacramental and spiritual needs with regard to these masses that were scheduled during the next three weeks.</li><li><strong>All other sacraments</strong> &ndash; Please contact the parish office if you have specific questions about baptisms, weddings, and/or any other topic not covered above.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>All other gatherings</strong> &ndash; All Parish gatherings and ministry groups are suspended until April 6.</li><li><strong>Casa San Juan</strong></li></ul><ol><li><u>Food boxes</u> will be distributed on Tuesdays and Thursdays only during Casa San Juan&rsquo;s regular hours from 9:30am &ndash; noon.&nbsp;</li><li><u>Sack lunches for the hungry</u> will be distributed through the rectory from 9:30 am until noon, Tuesday through Friday.&nbsp;</li><li><u>School families</u> - Casa San Juan and St. John&rsquo;s school have identified and arranged to provide a food box to our neediest school families this week.</li></ol><br />We are striving to be here for you, the people of the church, as best we can within the limitations with which we are being asked to comply to fight this pandemic. Please feel free to call us at 520-624-7409 or email stjohnsoffice@netzero.com if you have any questions.<br /><br />In Christ,<br />Msgr. Raul P. Trevizo</div>   					 				</td>				<td class="wsite-multicol-col" style="width:50%; padding:0 15px;"> 					 						  <div class="paragraph"><br /><em><strong style="color:rgb(51, 0, 0)"><font size="3">Mensaje de Mons. Raul Trevizo</font></strong><br /><br />&#8203;El lunes 16 de marzo, el Padre Gonz&aacute;lez y yo, acompa&ntilde;ados por miembros del grupo de oraci&oacute;n de la parroquia, as&iacute; como por varios j&oacute;venes monaguillos, nos reunimos para rezar el Santo Rosario ante el Sant&iacute;simo Sacramento. Se proclamaron las Escrituras que inspiraron a los presentes a confiar en la Providencia de Dios durante este momento dif&iacute;cil. Se cantaron canciones para elevar nuestros corazones y mentes a las alturas. Luego, al concluir la recitaci&oacute;n del rosario, el Sant&iacute;simo Sacramento fue llevado solemnemente en procesi&oacute;n dentro de la iglesia, as&iacute; como afuera, alrededor del per&iacute;metro de la iglesia; pidiendo la misericordia del Se&ntilde;or para la conversi&oacute;n del coraz&oacute;n y la purificaci&oacute;n espiritual. Pedimos la intercesi&oacute;n de Nuestra Se&ntilde;ora de Guadalupe para detener la propagaci&oacute;n del virus COVID-19 y para una cura. Fue una experiencia poderosa de oraci&oacute;n por los presentes.&nbsp;<br /><br />Tanto el Padre Gonz&aacute;lez como yo, sus sacerdotes, creemos firmemente que, como comunidad parroquial, estamos llamados a rezar intensamente durante este tiempo, para que se detenga la propagaci&oacute;n del virus y se encuentre una cura. Para Dios todas las cosas son posibles como oramos en el Credo.&nbsp;<br /><br />&#8203;Aunque el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa no se celebrar&aacute; durante este tiempo, hay m&eacute;rito en ofrecer nuestras comuniones espirituales para protecci&oacute;n y santificaci&oacute;n personal. La suspensi&oacute;n de la obligaci&oacute;n de la misa dominical no elimina el domingo de ser un d&iacute;a de oraci&oacute;n. Por lo tanto, todos nosotros bajo el dolor del pecado debemos hacer un tiempo para Dios en esos d&iacute;as. Uno tambi&eacute;n debe abstenerse de realizar trabajos innecesarios. Para la oraci&oacute;n del domingo, se puede recitar el rosario y la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia, por ejemplo; o tal vez leer un pasaje de la Biblia y meditar sobre &eacute;l. Aparte del domingo, 15 minutos de oraci&oacute;n diaria ser&iacute;an de gran beneficio para nosotros; mientras le pedimos a Dios que intervenga con su misericordia para detener la propagaci&oacute;n de este virus y tambi&eacute;n que nos conceda una cura.</em><br /><br /><em>Nuestra principal preocupaci&oacute;n es continuar sirviendo, y ministrando, a nuestros feligreses, al mismo tiempo que apoyamos los esfuerzos de la comunidad en general para detener la propagaci&oacute;n del virus COVID-19. De acuerdo con las directivas publicadas por el obispo Weisenburger el lunes 16 de marzo, y de acuerdo con las recomendaciones del gobierno federal, la parroquia cat&oacute;lica romana de San Juan Evangelista tomar&aacute; las siguientes medidas:</em><ul><li><em><strong>Misas</strong>: todas las misas parroquiales programadas regularmente se han suspendido hasta el lunes 6 de abril</em></li><li><em><strong>Oficina parroquial</strong>: nuestra oficina parroquial permanecer&aacute; abierta durante el horario comercial habitual para atender a nuestros feligreses por tel&eacute;fono y comunicaciones electr&oacute;nicas, o en persona si es necesario</em></li><li><em><strong>Adoraci&oacute;n</strong>: un feligr&eacute;s a la vez puede venir a la oficina parroquial para solicitar acceso a la capilla de adoraci&oacute;n. El tiempo de adoraci&oacute;n se limitar&aacute; a 15 minutos para garantizar que otros tambi&eacute;n tengan la oportunidad de pasar tiempo con el Sant&iacute;simo Sacramento. El tiempo de adoraci&oacute;n se limita a las horas de oficina de la parroquia, que son de 9 am a 4 pm, de lunes a jueves y de 9 am a 12:30 pm los viernes.</em></li><li><em><strong>Unci&oacute;n de los enfermos</strong>: los sacerdotes continuar&aacute;n administrando este sacramento con cita previa. Por favor llame a la oficina de la parroquia con la mayor anticipaci&oacute;n posible. Cualquier persona enferma o lesionada puede recibir este sacramento en cualquier etapa de su lesi&oacute;n o enfermedad.</em></li><li><em><strong>Reconciliaci&oacute;n</strong>: los horarios de reconciliaci&oacute;n del s&aacute;bado seguir&aacute;n teniendo lugar a las 4 p.m. y a las 7:30 p.m. Los sacerdotes ofrecer&aacute;n confesiones al aire libre y ser&aacute;n visibles desde su veh&iacute;culo. Le pedimos que permanezca en su veh&iacute;culo hasta que vea que un sacerdote est&aacute; disponible para escuchar la confesi&oacute;n. Las confesiones tambi&eacute;n se pueden programar con cita previa llamando a la oficina parroquial.</em></li><li><em><strong>Bautizos programados, quincea&ntilde;eras, etc.</strong> - Alguien de nuestra oficina parroquial se comunicar&aacute; con cada una de estas familias para proporcionar detalles sobre c&oacute;mo planeamos satisfacer las necesidades sacramentales y espirituales de sus familias con respecto a estas misas que se programaron durante las pr&oacute;ximas tres semanas.</em></li><li><em><strong>Todos los dem&aacute;s sacramentos</strong>: comun&iacute;quese con la oficina de la parroquia si tiene preguntas espec&iacute;ficas sobre bautizos, bodas y / o cualquier otro tema que no est&eacute; cubierto anteriormente.</em></li><li><em><strong>Todas las dem&aacute;s reuniones</strong>: todas las reuniones parroquiales y grupos ministeriales se suspenden hasta el 6 de abril.</em></li><li><strong><em>Casa San Juan</em></strong></li></ul><ol><li><em><u>Las cajas de comida</u> se distribuir&aacute;n los martes y jueves solo durante el horario normal de Casa San Juan desde las 9:30 a.m. al mediod&iacute;a.</em></li><li><em><u>Los almuerzos para los hambrientos</u> se distribuir&aacute;n a trav&eacute;s de la rector&iacute;a desde las 9:30 am hasta el mediod&iacute;a, de martes a viernes.</em></li><li><em><u>Familias escolares</u>: la escuela Casa San Juan y St. John's identificaron y organizaron proporcionar una caja de alimentos a nuestras familias escolares m&aacute;s necesitadas esta semana.</em></li></ol><br /><em>Nos esforzamos por estar aqu&iacute; para ustedes, la gente de la iglesia, lo mejor que podamos dentro de las limitaciones con las que se nos pide que cumplamos para combatir esta pandemia.
