Corruption Hits Everywhere
In Maywood, CA
We Want Financial Transparency!
We know that the funds of the parish are not publish to the parish comunity every sunday mass as in other parishes is and as it should be and it was before, that the offerings of every sunday mass leave the sacristy with out being counted for community members, he claims that could be robbed if published.
A lot of money is being receive for the remodalation of the temple without the knwoledge of the entire commnunity, and before everything else hi remodelated the offices where people just spend 20 minutes if received by any priest, before hi leaves in 2011 his trying to get out of you the most money he can, and leave the temple and parish hall in the same condition.
That is being convocated a group of people for the formation of the Finance Council, with selected people, including employees of the parish and the court of his entourage and the LA Archdiocese people, behind doors, and withot the kwnoledge of all the community in general, All this against the clock! Violating the regulations of Canon 537.
We Want Respect!
"We want a dignified and just as children of God, and that stops the despotic and arrogant attitude of the pastor and his allies that he strategically installed within the parish community in various key ministries.
That everybody knows of the woman he's been hiring inside the offices without consent of the diocese and with the repudiation of the community, did you notice that shes been the one taking the money at the window where you bought the tickets at the carnival?
That he stops!! prohibiding people to visit the temple or all installation of the parish to those in need.
That he stops ventilating confession secrets, or give advise against our beleaves and violates our church doctrine.
We Want Better Service!
Have you notice the people in charge of services like communion, weddings, confirmation, virtus even in the main office; are they polite or with a smile on their faces? We deserve better than this arrogant an unprofessional service. They increase the enrollment for the communion or confirmation services, they lay off the catequists and place new one with no experiance,what a herd of swine.
We Want Better Installations!
Summer 2011 is comming, and as 2010 nothing is being done to improve the central air conditioning in the church temple not to even mention the air conditioning in the parish hall where all the retreats take place; remember thru were the vandals came to the parish hall why took to long to get fixed? what about the celing that is falling down in the temple? or the bad sound during mass; what about the security that use to be in the parking lot? not the ones with arrogancy that he place recently there's no guards! and they bluff about the safety of our childrens. Insted he send people after the ones that had bring to the attention all this issues.
Remember what it was this event? Did you forget? Or is it that we forgot what happened?
It is true that initially helped the community to unite and defend this community from the abuses of politicians in past administrations of the city; Wait!!! the ones against him in the run. it is true that helped get the name of MAYWOOD CITY SHRINE OF IMMIGRANTS..... But Just Now! He's firing people from the parish, employees that deserve better treatment. And saying the the MINUNTE MAN are after him, and after his woman; what a shame!!
He's been ask to leave this parish since last year but his trying as always to buy people with favors and lies to be his allies to keep his presence at that parish, do not be fool by this priest, watch very carefully his saying and actions.
Wakeup community! Stop this Now! He will not call the media; advertising this because does not suits his interests. And if you think we are attacking, no, no, inquire, question, call the MINUTE MAN organization, please find out a consensus within the community, but especially to people who have spent more time in this blessed and hardworking people of God, not who recently have joined our faith, because they really know little or nothing of what is happening within the parish community and how they are dealing with parish matters. And attached is a small space although the right of the doubt is it true? Or is it a lie? Date this opportunity brother.
CENSUS OUTREACH AT ST. ROSE OF LIMA CHURCH IN MAYWOOD, CA
Everyone Needs to be Counted!
Washington, Mar 28 - Just days before the National Census Day on April 1, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard and U.S. Census staff joined more than 1,000 parishioners at St. Rose of Lima Church in Maywood to remind people to turn in their census forms by April 16, 2010. Congresswoman Roybal-Allard emphasized the importance of the Census in determining federal funding for local communities and urged everyone to participate. Pictured in the photos: Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard outside of the church with Maywood Mayor Ana Rosa Rizo and young parishioners who are also members of the local student group United Students of Southeast Cities.

(Yes That's Right All Parish Community!!!)
This is the figure that pretends to like his eminence Fr David M. Velazquez.
Brother, we ask you to pray and fellowship and in the same spirit, we join together and cry out to our Lord, the Holy Spirit, to assist us and give us true conversion to which we say we are Christians, Pray Brothers but we must not be blind or deaf to the injustices, or the bad testimony of our leaders but rather to be an image of Jesus Christ.
Have you noticed the kind of teaching from the newly joined to the catholic faith that teaches catechism to your childrens about catholic faith? are they kidding?
If you think this is an attack, also invite you to ask Not only in the parish community, investigates civilly, and ask yourself this question why all this is happening is there any other reason? because the financial situation of the city? Because his leaving?
Who is behind that you see that govern the city? The EAGLE has eyes!!!
wow this is very sad, cause the catholic church is full of corruption, how many thousands of dollars will they expend to keep this under the water? and worse if this priest is tied with political stuff huh.... not unusual at this moment with what it is happening around this city hope that he get caught and remove.

ReplyDeleteQue tristeza que haya este tipo de personas que se dedican a destruir a otros.
ReplyDeleteYo diria que cada uno deberia PRIMERO, revisar su propia vida y no andar juzgando al projimo, ya que al final de cuentas en EL JUICIO FINAL, solo de lo que tu mismo has echo vas a dar cuentas.
Ademas que triste que los que menos dan son los que mas cuentas piden.
Queremos un mundo mejor un mundode paz, pues deberiamos empezar pornosotros mismos.
Solo recuerden que CON LA VARA QUE MIDAN SERAN MEDIDOS
Yo no creo que el padre David sea corrupto o que se dedique hacer todo lo que dice este individuo pero en lo que si estoy de acuerdo es que las personas que trabajan o son voluntarios les falta etica y professionalismo para atender a Los demas siervos.
ReplyDeleteThe IRS needs to investigate St. Rose of Lima for possibly using money for politics. The DA needs to investigate also if they did campaigning inside that church.
ReplyDeleteEn ves de crtiticar deberian de informarce bien. La gente puede manipular informacion. El padre David ha hecho buenas cosas. Pero claro, a nadie le gusta mas que ver una buena persona caer.
ReplyDeleteyou guys are dumb i am 18 years old and i have worked and experienced the grace of santa rosa de lima ALL OF MY LIFE.i know that he is a good priest and he has my support.you come here asking for justice and quoting the bible, which i am sure you don't even read if you were really a true catholic you would know that even saint pio would not dare to go against the holy church even though there was much corruption and threats to his very life because he was humble and understood that the church acting with great reason. who are you to judge? you are all sinners, and even if padre david is wrong, we AS TRUE CATHOLICS don't follow a person, we follow god. so let god take care of things and let him make justice. as long as you call yourself a geniune ROMAN CATHOLIC stop bringing the church and great priests down, stop being so suspiciuos you faithless pretenders. NO DEJEN QUE EL DIABLO LES PONGA DUDA EN SU MENTE. SIGUAN APOYANDO EL PADRE Y NUESTRA SANTA IGLESIA. NO GASTEN SU TIEMPO EN DESTRUIR UNA FE TAN GRANDE PORQUE NUNCA NO LAS QUITARAN.
ReplyDeleteConosco a Los que constantemente estan atacando al Padre David y por cosiguiente a la iglesia, su arrogancia y agresividad con que se dirigen me hace no creer en ellos. Hojala cambiaran su actitud empezando por ellos mismos y despues pueden cambiar a Los demas.
ReplyDeleteSiempre y cando los Padres deciden actuar encontra de la unjusticias que se cometen encontra de su rebaño no falta quien ataque esa posicion y los ataque con palabras y lo bueno fuera que solo se quedara en eso en palabras pero esas palabras insitan la violencia. Mañana cumple 31 años el asesinato de Monseñor Orcar Arnulfo Romero que vio las injusticias y lucho con su reñano. Los que hablan con odio cuiden su lengua porque lamentablemente no falta quien utilize sus palabras para insitar a la violencia.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad he is finally leaving!! To all those naive people who didn't believe he was corrupted, now you see why he made the fair much sooner.. He knew he was going to leave and well not empty in the wallet. Is time to think beyond, just because someone is a priest, doesn't mean he is a saint! Open your eyes! To that person who said he/she is 18 and has been there for years, Have you not noticed that people who were there for over 20 years left after he came?? Those people were dedicated and very good men and women of God. God Bless those who sent those letters and let the community know all the disturbances of this church. Thanks to them, he is finally GONE!
ReplyDeleteOk maybe your are right...but if these people ..or as you call them men and women of God...why did they leave?? Jesus didnt leave when the pharasies came against him...did God leave when Father David arrived??? HYPOCRITES!!! Thats what they are...and you to becuase you have no idea why the parish fair was moved. You speak of ignorance and stupidity. FYI, he wasnt kicked out, he left because it was unhealthy to put up with idiots on a daily basis. No offense
DeleteFor those who think that this priest is good; think twice!!! now you will start seen his true colors nothing can be hiden for to long and this is just the beginning...
ReplyDeleteWho is the real author of all these words? I did not see your name posted in this article. Why do u keep it anonymous?

ReplyDeletethe vitriol of the above comments is shocking. I was at St. Rose when St. Rose was valiantly fighting the powers at Maywood city hall; a fight that was led in large part by Father David. who are these people that don't have the basic courage and decency to even post their names. cowards! for the record my name is Sal Valdez.
DeleteWe are no one to judge and I grew up in this church community and knew father well. He would not do that. He left the church like any priest would and is now at a better parish in which such lies like this one made will not affect his health more. He tried doing the best for the church. There were just some people who wanted to see him ruined because they were not allowed to do what they wanted, but like I said before Father David always tried his best for the parish and not only the parish, but also the community. Oh one last thing those people who were giving services in the parish at the office are always nice and friendly. They try their best to communicate with everyone despite the way they are treated by the people and they never deny a service and always try to help.
ReplyDeleteBy the way those people in the picture I never saw them once in the church community out of all the years Ive been there, they probably do not even know Father well
