Dear beloved parishioners of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Rose of Lima,

By now many of you have heard that I have been reassigned by Bishop Edward Weisenberger. I will be moving the

weekend of July 1st to become the Pastor of Saint Joseph’s Parish in Tucson, Az. It is a large Parish with a School.

Please pray for me and my transition. I will miss Graham county and the great people who have built up this

community. You have taught me a lot, and I hope I was a good spiritual guide. We have been through a lot. Please

continue to teach your children the faith so they continue to grow strong. My prayers are with you.

Bishop Edward Weisenberger has assigned Rev. Nicodemus Shaghel, V.C. to Graham County. He is currently serving

at Immaculate Conception Parish in Yuma, Az., and my home parish. My family and the parish are heart broken that Fr.

Nicodemus will be leaving them. He is primarily a teacher at Yuma Catholic High School. He works with youth and

wants them to learn their faith correctly. I hope and pray that together with Our Lady of Guadalupe and Saint Rose of

Lima we will make Fr. Nicodemus’s transition a smooth one. He is a good friend and brother priest and I look forward

to meeting with him in the next few months before he begins his service here July 3rd.

Rev. Robert A. Rodriguez

Please pray for the father of Rev. Nicodemus who is gravely ill. He will be making a trip to Nigeria and has plans

to return in July. Rev. Nicodemus first day will be July 3rd.

God Bless

I would like to thank everyone who attended my Anniversary Mass

of Thanksgiving. I appreciate everyone who brought a dish to share. I will miss you all. May

God Bless you and your family. You will always have a special place in my heart.

All for the glory of God! Fr. Robert A. Rodriguez
