Quilt Celebrates Fr Ruben's Cancer Journey
St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church parishioners gave their pastor, Fr. Ruben Patino, C.S.P., a pleasant surprise to mark the one year anniversary of the end of his cancer treatment.
At the close of 5:30 p.m. Mass Saturday, a group of parishioners presented him with a king-size quilt made up of “Rubenator” tee shirts and photos printed on fabric of versions of the famous Virgin of Guadalupe painting.
The “Rubenator” tee shirts were originally the idea of parishioner and Horseshoe Bay resident Charlie Fox, who is a cardiology nurse practitioner. “Things like these shirts are very helpful to patients who are going through extended, difficult treatment,” Ms. Fox said. “They serve to reassure patients that they are not alone and that there are many people who care about them and support them in their journey.”
The parish’s women’s organization, WWICS (Women Working in Community and Spirit) had the purple tee shirts created in the spring of 2019 shortly after Fr. Ruben started his cancer treatments. They were worn by members of both St. Paul’s and the broader Horseshoe Bay community to show support for him during his eight-month treatment for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
To make the quilt, several months ago WWICS members collected tee shirts from parishioners and sent them to quilt maker Janelle McDaniel, of Dallas, TX. Ms. McDaniel used the shirt fronts interspersed with fabric images of the Virgin of Guadalupe to create the front of the quilt. The back side of the quilt features a center section with the words of the Hail Mary prayer.
WWICS members Claudia Haydon and Debbie Frazier led the project.
Fr. Ruben has been cancer free since his treatments ended in November 2019.

A Word from Servant of God Isaac Hecker, Founder of the Paulist Fathers:
“Through these clouds which now obscure the Church the light of divine hope ought to pierce, enabling us to perceive a better and a brighter future, for this is what is in store for the Church and the world. That love which embraces at once the greatest glory of God and the highest happiness of man should outweigh all fear of misinterpretations, and urge one to make God’s hand clear to those who are willing to see, and point out to them the way to that happier and fairer future.”        [The Church and the Age, 1887]
