New worship space dedicated at Resurrection of the Lord Church for growing population
SAN ANTONIO • It was a tri-fold day of celebration for one west side parish on the first Sunday of the month. July 4 marked the feast of Our Lady of Refuge, the birth of the United States of America, and the rebirth of Resurrection of the Lord Church, as the refurbished sanctuary there was rededicated at a noon liturgy.
Celebrant for the Mass was Auxiliary Bishop Oscar Cantú, with Bishop Ricardo Ramírez, CSB, of the Diocese of Las Cruces, N.M., serving as homilist. Other concelebrants, along with Msgr. Adolfo Valdivia-Aguirre, pastor, represented clergy from the archdiocese, south Texas, as well as Mexico.
The rite of dedication began prior to the liturgy. A large crowd of attendees began gathering up to an hour in advance in the Parish Hall and waited to process into the remodeled church.

| Brueggemann tells Institute participants how ‘truth carriers’ are transforming the world |

For Today’s Catholic
Protestant Old Testament scholar Walter Brueggemann said the story of Elisha in II Kings illustrates how a prophet, rather than directly confronting government power, acted as though it didn’t exist.
Brueggemann highlighted Elisha June 22 in the second of three keynote addresses he delivered at Oblate School of Theology’s 2010 Summer Institute, whose theme was “Ancient Biblical Voices Speak Today.”
