Basque-English Masses with Aita Antton
This week would have marked Jaialdi 2020 as well as the commemoration of San Inazio in Boise, but unfortunately as everyone is aware, Jaialdi was postponed until July 27-August 1, 2021, and the annual San Inazio gathering was also cancelled. Nevertheless, Aita Antton celebrated Mass last Sunday commemorating Jaialdi and celebrating San Ignacio. If you missed it you can view the video here and follow along with the missal here. You can learn more about St. Ignatius of Loyola along with other saints here.
You can attend mass live on Artzai Ona’s Facebook page, on Sundays beginning at 8:15am PST or 17:15 in Euskal Herria, Hymns and readings for this Sunday's Mass (August 2nd) are available here. On behalf of everyone at NABO, we would again like to thank Aita Antton for all of his efforts featuring our different Basque communities every week on what would have been their annual celebrations, as well as keeping us all in his prayers. Eskerrik Asko Bihotzetik!
A Look Back at Jaialdi 2015
With no Jaialdi this year, all that is left is to remember what a great time we had in 2015. Thanks to Joseba Etxarri at EuskalKultura.eus, this was made a lot easier with him sharing his great photo galleries. Check them out here.
