Honoring All Veterans
This whole month of July we offer prayers of thanksgiving for those young people now serving in the military, for those who have served, and for those who have served and are now deceased.
A special bulletin board is being displayed in the vestibule of the church to honor those veterans during the month of July.
Thanks to Louise Woodring, Lucille Imhoff, and Alma Hickel who assisted Fr. Arbel in the gathering of the military personnel pictures.
Portuguese Festa
The celebration of faith and thanksgiving brought together many people of Portuguese heritage to the small Colusa County community, many of whom trace their origins to the Azores, a string of volcanic islands about 800 miles off the coast of Portugal.
"The tradition follows the celebration at the end of the great famine in Europe," said Chris Souza, president of the Princeton St. Anthony and Holy Ghost Committee. One of the most integral part of Sunday's Festa was the crowing of the queens, in keeping with the tradition started by Queen Isabella, who placed a crown upon the head of a peasant girl at the very first celebration and declared her queen for the day.
The Princeton Festa activities begun with a parade at 10:30 a.m. in front of the Princeton Portuguese Hall, followed by Mass at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, where the queens of the Festa were crowned in honor of Queen Isabella of Portugal — also known as "Isabelle the Peacemaker" and later canonized as St. Isabella. – SunHerald.com
