Monastic Experience
Benedictine Monastery in Tucson, Arizona May 23-May 29
The Monastic Experience encourages women who are discerning a
religious calling to experience monastic life without any strings
attached. It will provide participants an in-depth look at monastic life
and the opportunity to experience it on a daily basis. Women
discerning a religious calling will enter into the rhythm of monastic
life, receive daily input on prayer, their discernment, ask vowed
women religious questions about their own vocations and engage in
faith sharing with others who are traveling on a similar journey.
The event is for single Catholic women between the ages of 18 and
47 who are discerning a religious vocation. The Monastic
Experience is free for participants and includes room, board and
recreation.
For more information, please contact Sister Ruth Elaine at (660)
944-2221 or vocation@benedictinesisters.org.
In the Gospel today, Jesus says “ Whoever
remains in me and I in him will bear much fruit,
because without me you can do nothing.” Indeed,
by helping the poor we can “bear much fruit” and
we find that with Jesus we can do everything.
Your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will show that
you are indeed the disciple of Jesus as it will bring your love to
those who live in fear and doubt, loneliness and dread.

year. Please be careful and stay safe this summer. Don’t forget to
pray!!
Classes will begin again on August 16. We are in need of a 4th
grade catechist and a 7th/8th grade catechist. You do not need to
“know” a lot to be a catechist. It is more about who you love than
what you know. If the Holy Spirit touches your heart please give me
a call at the church office. Kathleen (520) 378-2720 Ext. 116. Thank
you for considering this important ministry.
Devastation in Nepal
As we have seen in the newspapers and on the nightly news, Nepal
experienced a 7.8 earthquake and several aftershocks that have left
thousands of people dead and many thousands injured. The
devastation is astounding.
Our diocese has had a close relationship with Nepal, especially
through Father Silas Bogati, a priest of the Vicariate of Katmandu in
Nepal who has visited frequently in our diocese and spoken at a
number of our parishes.
Catholic Relief Services has begun to provide emergency relief.
Parishes are taking up a second collection to help relieve and
alleviate some of the suffering and loss of life and property that has
taken place.
Please be generous as we seek to help our brothers and sisters in
Nepal. Your contribution will make a big difference. We will have a
second collection for Nepal next weekend, May 9th and 10th.
In the second reading today John encourages us
to love one another in deed and truth not in
speech only. Do you show your spouse that you
truly love them, not just say it? Love your spouse in deed by
giving the gift of yourself; make the time to attend the next
Marriage Encounter weekend. Upcoming World Marriage
Encounter Weekend; May 29-31 in Tucson and July 10-12 in
Phoenix. For other dates and more information visit

Dear All Saints Families,
I am very honored, excited, and blessed to have been chosen as the new principal of All Saints Catholic
School! I have 17 years of educational experience serving students from kindergarten
through high
school. For the past four years I have worked in the Tucson Unified School District as a Learning
Supports Coordinator,
implementation.
focusing on assessments, student behavior, teacher coaching, and curriculum
Prior to that, I taught in Amphitheater
Public Schools district as a teacher for 13 years.
I am originally from Phoenix and, just as your children are presently doing, I too attended Catholic
school while growing up. My sister, brother, and I all attended St. Gregory's School from kindergarten
through 8th grade. My sister and I both went on to graduate from St. Mary's High School, while my
brother graduated from Brophy College Prep. My husband also attended Catholic school, having
graduated from both St. Cyril's and Salpointe.
You can see that Catholic school has been important
in
my family!
My husband, Matthew,
and I are the proud parents of two daughters.
th
Claire is 12 and will be an 8
grader next year. She runs track and cross country and plays the drums in the school band. Abby is 6
and is going into the 1st grade. She is learning to play tennis and loves to read. Matthew
principal at both Huachuca Mountain
important
is the assistant
and Pueblo Del Sol Elementary Schools, so education is very
to both of us! In Tucson we are parishioners at St. Francis Cabrini Church.
It is my hope that we can all work together to make All Saints the best school it can possibly be. Once I
finally arrive in Sierra Vista, please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself.
My door is always open
and you are always welcome to meet with me. I am looking forward to meeting you and your child.
Sincerely,
Kathy Chandler
Principal
All Saints Catholic School
