Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne Parish History

Before the small desert town of New River, Arizona had any neighboring communities, Catholics of the area gathered for their first Liturgy on April 9, 1983. The Mass was celebrated in a public school gymnasium.

Two years later, Father Val Boyle, O. Carm. was appointed Administrator of the pastoral and liturgical lives of the Catholics in this forming faith community. Almost exactly five years after the first mass, in 1988, the Community was officially, canonically recognized as a Mission. Originally, the Community was a mission of Saint Luke’s Parish.

The Community started a Building Fund in 1985. The fundraising efforts were greatly enhanced In 1987, when Mary Aguire donated five acres of land for a future church and related buildings.

By 1992, the Community was able to complete a multi-use church building. Good Shepherd Church was dedicated and blessed in May 1993. Additions were made in 1997.

By the time Father Boyle retired in 2003, the area had begun to experience rapid population growth. On New River’s border, the planned community of Anthem was outgrowing all expectations. Desert Hills was experiencing the population boom, and the construction of the village of Tramonto had begun. The little desert town of New River now had large, close neighbors and gaining many new citizens itself.

In addition to those in New River, Liturgies were celebrated at the Community Center in Anthem. Catholics also gathered in Anthem for many social events, prayer, and religious education. Deacon Jim Fogel provided support and administration, as the Mission Life Administrator, until the Diocese of Phoenix formed the new parish of Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne, in September 2004. The Good Shepherd Church in New River became a mission of the new parish. Father John Coleman was appointed the founding pastor.

Even before Saint Rose Philippine Parish was created, the Diocese of Phoenix studied population growth projections and the area’s available real estate. It was anticipated that the parish boundaries would be from the Carefree Highway north to the County line, and from 18th Street as far west as the eye can see. Projections indicate that this large geographic area will be heavily populated. The Diocese decided to buy twenty-four acres of commercial property in Anthem, and a master plan was created. The plan calls for a church, offices, a multi-purpose building and a school.

During his first year and a half as Pastor, Father Coleman showed the people of the Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne Community how to transform a school multi-purpose room into sacred space for Liturgies. The Community joined together and created liturgical, formational, and pastoral ministries. Religious education and sacramental preparation programs were developed. Newly formed Stewardship and Pastoral Councils joined with Father Coleman in developing a Strategic Plan. The geographical and political differences of this large, diverse Parish, were recognized and addressed.

It was soon apparent that the growth projections were correct. In order to accomplish its mission statement of seeking excellence in expressing thanksgiving to God through activities that encourage spirituality, stewardship, and hospitality, the Parish would need to raise money to build facilities on its property.

Today, in 2006, after a process of discernment, the parish community is embarking on a capital campaign with the goal of building facilities on the parish land in Anthem.

“A Heart Like His,” an 11-week video Bible study by Beth Moore will be held from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Mondays beginning Feb. 4 at Vineyard Church @ Anthem.

Vineyard Church is located at 42105 N. 41st Drive, two blocks south of The Hampton Inn. The $25 registration fee includes the student workbook and childcare is available for an additional charge of $5 per child or $10 per family per session.

”A Heart Like His” is an in-depth study of King David, focusing on his years as God's chosen king of Israel. It presents fascinating Bible truths about how David was a man after God's own heart with many applications for women today including how God loved and was able to use David despite his disobedience.

The two-hour session will include live worship, discussion, a video teaching by Moore and the opportunity to receive prayer for any need. The class does include 30-45 minutes of homework, five days each week. “Beth’s studies are some of the best I¹ve ever done,” said Vineyard¹s Bible Study Coordinator Christina Gillman. “They are challenging, insightful and life-changing.”

Moore is an international speaker and teacher who has written numerous books and Bible studies including Breaking Free, Believing God, and When Godly People Do Ungodly Things, and is well-known through the United States and around the world. She founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word. Ever the storyteller, Beth is known to pepper her teaching with stories and poems written from the perspective of pertinent characters. She communicates with great energy, passion, humor, warmth, and grace.

DIOCESE OF PHOENIX WELCOMES PHILIPPINE RELIGIOUS ORDER
 TO ST. DANIEL THE PROPHET PARISH IN SCOTTSDALE
The Most Rev. Thomas J. Olmsted, Bishop of Phoenix, welcomed three religious sisters from The Daughters of Mary, Mother of the Church, a Philippine-based religious order, during a Mass on August 17, at St. Daniel the Prophet Parish, Scottsdale. 

The three religious sisters are Sr. Marilyn Artiaga Acosta, Sr. Elsa Sales Cavite, and Sr. Cielo Montenegro Pesigan.  They are members of a religious order founded in 1966 in Caceres, Philippines.  The sisters work in cooperation with schools and families to achieve a healthy, peaceful and Christ-centered family atmosphere.  The three sisters are establishing a convent at St. Daniel the Prophet and will teach religion in the parish parochial school as well as aid in the enhancement of the parish’s religious education programs and pastoral outreach programs.

 “I always had a vision to have a religious order of sisters present here in our church and school,” said Fr. Thaddeus McGuire, pastor at St. Daniel the Prophet.  “I heard of the possibility of a religious order based in the Philippines that was interested in expanding its ministry to other countries, including the United States, and so I asked Bishop Olmsted to consider inviting the nuns to come to our parish.”

 After a lengthy process of investigation, study and discernment, Bishop Olmsted invited the Daughters of Mary, Mother of the Church, to establish a convent at St. Daniel the Prophet.  They accepted and arrived in Arizona in July.

For more information on the arrival of The Daughters of Mary at St. Daniel the Prophet, contact Fr. McGuire at 480-945-8437.  More information on this and the other activities of the Catholic Church in the valley can be accessed by going to official web site of the Diocese of Phoenix at www.diocesephoenix.org ___________________________________________________
