2 ST. GREGORY CATHOLIC CHURCH
70 years of parish life! I am blessed by the grace of God to celebrate with all of you and witness as priest the 70th Anniversary of the canonical establishment of St. Gregory our parish. On this very special date for our community, I invite you to reflect on three different aspects:
First of all, "Thank God for the opportunity of being a part of our parish-family building community”, that many of you, through the gift of faith, began long time ago . Thanks to this gift, each of us can now share the greatness of this anniversary, during these 70 years many families have had the blessing of receiving, transmitting and celebrating faith.
Second, "Become aware of the importance of the role that each of us have and represents in the
life of the parish”. understanding that the church is not just a material building, but a spiritual home for us, the baptized. Understanding the parish as a place of Christian Initiation, education and celebration of faith, open to the diversity of charisms, services and ministries, organized as a community in a responsible manner, inclusive of apostolate movements that already exist, and open to the cultural diversity of its inhabitants. With various initiatives, especially the celebration of the Eucharist, which is "A moment of a privileged encounter of all communities with the Lord”.
Lastly, “Look to the future with our eyes on Christ" as Pope Francis recently said, ‘The transmission
of faith that shines for all men and woman everywhere, also needs to be pass on from generation to generation’. That is why, by becoming aware of the beauty of faith, we decide to pass it on to future generations. Therefore we must spare no effort to support all educational and evangelization processes that involve children and young people, because they will be the leaders of our parish in less than 20 years, if they are well prepared.
With these three ideas, dear brothers and sisters, I believe that we can celebrate a new stage in the history of our parish. I appreciate the efforts that everyone does to beautify, with their own lives, this parish with the living Christ that we all have in our hearts. That we may receive the blessing of our Lord through the intercession of the Our Lady of Fatima in her Jubilee. Have a blessed70th Anniversary!

In the spring of 1947, with nothing more than boundaries and borrowed worship space, Saint Gregory's became the eleventh parish established in the Phoenix area. With stables and live-stock nearby, they celebrated, prayed and planned for the day when a more suitable place of worship would become reality. On March 31st, Palm Sunday, 1947, 200 eager families and
their Pastor, Father Bernard L. Gordon, met in a makeshift chapel at the Arizona State Fairgrounds to worship and officially establish the parish we cherish today.
Father Gordon devoted himself to this mission, along with committee members Eugene Burrus, Victor Steinegger, Bill Murphy, Frank Murphy, Howard Lamptom, Lloyd Pike and Ed Cosgrove. In fact, it was Lloyd Pike, an architect by trade who designed and coordinated the construction of much of the original church, school and convent.
In the meantime, the people of Saint Gregory's would have to find a home other than the fairgrounds to conduct Mass and the business of their new beloved parish. It was decided that a simple Army surplus barracks building would have to suffice. Located in a field at 18th Avenue and Osborn, a group of ambitious volunteers went to work day and night for several weeks. With their own hands, they poured their energy into renovating and remodeling the modest barracks, celebrating their first Mass in St. Gregory Catholic Church on November 23, 1947.
Please join us as we celebrate St. Gregory’s 70th Anniversary during our Fall Fes val

Mensaje de nuestro Párroco
70 años de vida Parroquial! Me siento bendecido por la gracia de Dios de ser testigo y celebrar con todos ustedes como sacerdote el 70° Aniversario de la Erección Canónica de nuestra parroquia de San Gregorio. En esta fecha tan especial para esta comunidad, quisiera invitarles a reflexionar en tres aspectos:
Primero, “Dar gracias a Dios por la oportunidad de ser y formar parte de la familia parroquial construyendo comunidad”, mediante el regalo de la fe que muchos iniciaron tiempo atrás. Pues gracias a este regalo cada uno de nosotros podemos celebrar la grandeza de este aniversario, ya que durante estos 70 años muchas familias han tenido la bendición de recibir, de transmitir y de celebrar la Fe.
En segundo lugar, “Tomar conciencia de la importancia que cada uno de nosotros tiene y
representa en la vida de la parroquia”. Para ello, es fundamental ser conscientes que la parroquia no es el edificio material, sino una casa espiritual para todos los bautizados. Entendemos la Parroquia como un espacio de Iniciación Cristiana, de educación y celebración de fe, abierta a la diversidad de carismas, servicios y ministerios, organizada de modo comunitario y responsable, integradora de movimientos de apostolado ya existentes, atenta a la diversidad cultural de sus habitantes. Con diversas iniciativas, especialmente a la celebración de la Eucaristía, que es “el momento privilegiado del encuentro de las comunidades con el Señor”
Por último, “Ver hacia el futuro con la mirada puesta en Cristo”, pues como nos ha dicho el
Papa Francisco recientemente que “La transmisión de la fe, que brilla para todos los hombres en todo lugar, debe pasar de generación en generación”. De manera que, tomando conciencia de la hermosura de la fe, nos decidamos a trasmitirla a las futuras generaciones. Por eso no debemos escatimar esfuerzos en apoyar todo los procesos educativos y evangelizadores que envuelvan niños y jóvenes, pues ellos serán nuestros lideres parroquiales en no menos de 20 anos si bien los preparamos.
Con estas tres ideas, queridos hermanos y hermanas, considero que podemos celebrar una nueva etapa en la historia de nuestra parroquia. Valoro los esfuerzos que todos hacen por embellecer con sus vidas nuestra Parroquia con el Cristo vivo que todos llevamos en el corazón.
Que el Señor nos bendiga por la Intercesión de la Virgen de Fátima en su centenario.
Que tengan un bendecido 70 Aniversario!
Fr. Andrés Arango Párroco
