My dear parishioners,
Today is the last day that Deacon Mark Bristol is
officially with us. The assignments for the transitional
deacons end today so that they may finish their studies and
prepare for their ordinations to the priesthood. It has been a
pleasure to have Deacon (soon-to-be Father) Bristol with us
since November. I believe we have all been inspired by his
excellent and thought-provoking homilies and moved by his
beautiful singing, especially with the Exsultet at the Easter
Vigil. We look forward to his ordination to the priesthood.
As Deacon Bristol leaves, we will see a familiar
face. Deacon Melchizedek will return on weekends and make
our parish his home prior to his ordination to the priesthood.
You will remember that Deacon Melchizedek was with us
last summer. Both deacons and their Brooklyn classmates
will be ordained on Saturday, June 4th at St. Joseph’s CoCathedral. I am happy to announce that Father Melchizedek
will celebrate his First Mass of Thanksgiving here at Blessed
Virgin Mary, Help of Christians the next day, Sunday June
5th at the 10 am Mass. Please save that date and make an
effort to attend that special Mass. We will have a reception
after the Mass so that you may receive his first priestly blessing. Fr. Bristol will return to our parish to celebrate Mass on
Sunday, June 19th also at the 10 am Mass. That day is
Father’s Day, an appropriate date to celebrate a new priest.
Please pray that both men be good and holy priests.
It seems that our parish does such a good job in
helping in the formation of priests; we are being honored
again with another summer assignment for a seminarian.
Michael Ugbor, from Nigeria and member of my last parish,
has been assigned to us for the summer. Michael arrives on
Saturday, May 14 and will be with us until the end of July.
Michael is currently in third theology, which means, Godwilling, he will be ordained a priest of Jesus Christ next year.
Michael is an intelligent, hard-working and devout young
man who I recommended for the seminary a few months
before I came to St. Mary’s. We look forward to his time
with us. It is my prayer that the presence of these seminarians
in our parish will encourage more local young men to consider the priesthood.
God bless,
Fr. O’Connor
Mis Queridos feligreses,
Hoy es el último día que el Diácono Mark Bristol
está oficialmente con nosotros. La asignación para los diáconos en transición termina hoy para que ellos puedan terminar sus estudios y prepararse para su ordenación al sacerdocio. Ha sido un placer tener al Diácono (pronto será Padre) Bristol con nosotros desde noviembre. Yo creo que
todos hemos sido inspirados por sus excelentes homilías
que nos hacen pensar y nos conmueve como canta de bonito, especialmente con el Pregon en la Vigilia Pascual. Esperamos su ordenación al sacerdocio.
Mientras el Diácono Bristol se va, veremos una
cara conocida. El diácono Melchizedek regresará los fines
de semana y hará de nuestra parroquia su casa antes de su
ordenación al sacerdocio. Se acordarán que el Diácono
Melchizedek estuvo con nosotros el verano pasado. Ambos
Diácono y sus compañeros de Brooklyn serán ordenado el
sábado, 4 de junio en la Co-Catedral de San Jose. Estoy
contento de anunciar que el Padre Melchizedek celebrará su
primer Misa en Acción de Gracias aquí en María Auxiliadora al siguiente día, domingo 5 de junio en la Misa de las
10am. Por favor aparten la fecha y hagan el esfuerzo de
asistir a esta Misa especial. Tendremos una recepción después de la Misa para que puedan recibir su primera bendición como sacerdote. El Padre Bristol regresará a nuestra
parroquia para celebrar la Misa el domingo, 19 de junio
también a las 10 am. Ese día es el Día de los Padres, una
fecha apropiada para celebrar un nuevo sacerdote. Por favor
oren para que ambos hombres sean sacerdotes buenos y
santos.
Parece que nuestra parroquia hace un buen trabajo
en ayudar en la formación de sacerdotes; estamos honrados
de nuevo con otra asignación en el verano para un seminarista. Michael Ugbor, de Nigeria y miembro de mi última
parroquia, ha sido asignado a nuestra parroquia para el verano. Michael llega el sábado, 14 de mayo y estará con nosotros hasta fines de julio. Michael está actualmente en tercero de teología, cual significa, si Dios permite, será ordenado sacerdote de Jesucristo el siguiente año. Michael es un
hombre joven inteligente, trabajador y devoto quien yo recomendé para un seminario hace unos meses antes de venir
a María Auxiliadora. Esperamos su llegada aquí con nosotros. Es mi oración que la presencia de estos seminaristas de
nuestra parroquia que animen a más hombres jóvenes locales a considerar el sacerdocio.
Dios los bendiga,
Padre O’Connor
