Whereas, Arsenio S. Carrillo was born in Tucson on April 2, 1930 as one of seven children of Federico and Guadalupe Sotomayor Carrillo. After attending Davis Elementary and Roskruge Junior High School, he entered the Pontifical College Josephinum in Worthington, Ohio where he studied for twelve years. On May 26, 1956, Arsenio Carrillo was ordained to the priesthood by the Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Cicognani; and Whereas, following his ordination, Father Carrillo's first assignment was at St. Augustine Cathedral. He remained in this capacity until June 1963 when he was named pastor of Holy Family, his home parish, where he served nearly five years until being named pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish in Douglas. On September 30, 1969, Bishop Francis J. Green appointed Father Carrillo as pastor of St. Augustine Cathedral and Episcopal Vicar for the Spanish-speaking people of the diocese; and Whereas, on June 27, 1979, Bishop Green enacted the directive of His Holiness Pope John Paul II in vesting Father Carrillo as an Honorary Prelate to the Holy Father, entitling him to the title of "Monsignor." On December 12, 1988, Bishop Manuel Moreno honored Monsignor Carrillo by naming him Vicar General for the Diocese of Tucson; and Whereas, Monsignor Carrillo faithfully and ably served the people of St. Augustine Cathedral until his resignation as pastor on June 29, 1995. He continued to serve as associate pastor until his formal retirement on July 1, 2002. Monsignor Carrillo remains active in his ministry by taking communion to the sick and by celebrating the Eucharist at Our Mother of Sorrows, St. Augustine Cathedral, Santa Catalina, and Our Lady Queen of All Saints parishes; and Whereas, the parishioners and leadership of St. Augustine Cathedral are honoring Monsignor Carrillo's Fiftieth Anniversary of Ordination and his four decades of service to the parish and community by dedicating the renovated placita at St. Augustine as the "Monsignor Arsenio S. Carrillo Placita." Therefore Be it resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Arizona, the Senate concurring: 1. That the Members of the Legislature honor Monsignor Arsenio S. Carrillo on the occasion of his Fiftieth Anniversary of Ordination to the Priesthood, and commend him for his outstanding ministry and leadership to the St. Augustine Cathedral Parish. 2. That the Secretary of State of the State of Arizona transmit copies of this Resolution to Monsignor Arsenio S. Carrillo and the St. Augustine Cathedral Parish. |
