We have been in discussions, meetings, and planning sessions to begin the publication of the new South Plains Catholic magazine.” In July, a new quarterly, glossy magazine was sent to parishioners. The timing will change from 12 times a year to four times.

They were a tasty treat, and the parish was grateful for their todos los cursillistas de Levelland hard work. andaban bien emocionados y en ansias para recibir a los nuevos cursillistas. Mi mama y otras cuatro o cinco señoras empezaban a planear la comida y la música para el “recibimiento”. Había un entusiasmo que no se ni cómo explicarlo. Estos fieles miembros de San Miguel cantaban y alababan de puro corazón. Yo viví mi cursillo el 1966 en Plainview con el Padre Antonio González, pero nunca me puedo comparar a los cursillistas de aquellos días. Ahora se está acercando La Fiesta de Colores (26 de agosto) y se me vienen a la mente los nombres de los ST.

este movimiento en la parroquia de San Miguel en Levelland –Severiano y Luisa Castillo, Oscar y Julia Garza, Samuel y Juanita Montez, Blas y Petra Álvarez, Trino y Ofelia Gutiérrez, Romeo y Socorro Gutiérrez, Domingo y Rosa Gutiérrez, Rodolfo y Rosa Hinojosa, Gabriel y Julia Hernandez y muchos más. Y la música de Santos Villalobos, Chon García, Los Hermanos Garzas era todo lo que se oía donde quiera que se reunían los cursillistas. Mi mama, Juanita Montez de 93 años, todavía atiende las reuniones de grupo y las ultreyas. Es la matriarca de los cursillistas en Levelland. Siento un orgullo y una tristeza porque, aparte de mi mama y Rosa Hinojosa, ya están los demás en el cielo esperando a cada cursillista para celebrar otro “recibimiento”. ¡DE COLORES, Hermanos Cursillistas! Editor's Note: Rosario Montez Smith grew up en un rancho in Levelland, and enjoys sharing her memories of living in rural West Texas.
