Burgos Bulldogs

This House has been named after the following member of the community:
Mr. Rodolfo Burgos, better known as Don Rudy,

Mr. Rodolfo Burgos, better known as Don Rudy, was born in the village of San Estevan, Orange Walk District. When Don Rudy was still young, his family moved to Orange Walk Town. While attending La Inmaculada Primary School, Don Rudy was invited 10 by Fr. Joseph Kemper S.J. to work for the parish. At first, Don Rudy helped around the church and in the parish house. In between his work, he helped in the breaking of stones for the new construction of La Inmaculada Primary School. Mr. Francisco Cano, who worked in the church at the time, was the one who showed Don Rudy how to take care of the altar, sacristy and, above all, how to ring the church bells for the various occasions. Don Rudy mastered the art of ringing the church bells. Upon receipt of the news of Pope John Paul II’s death, he rang the bells for one hour non-stop. Don Rudy can be compared to St. Joseph. In the Bible, we read that St. Joseph was a just and humble person who lovingly cared for Mary and Jesus. Don Rudy cared for the La Inmaculada Church with love, dedication, and utmost diligence. No work was too difficult for him. Daily he cared for the church and rang the bells at the appropriate times – never late or too early, always at the correct time. He worked for more than sixty years from Monday to Monday preparing the church for Mass, baptisms, first communions, confirmations, weddings, fifteen-years, and funerals. Don Rudy will always be remembered for his fidelity and generosity in the service of La Inmaculada Church and the community of Orange Walk.
