We welcome our new pastor Rev. David Arcila
Dear Parishioners,
Cardinal Blase Cupich has asked me to come and serve you as your next Pastor of St. Stephen Protomartyr Parish. As I move from another parish, I believe that for you as well as for me the transition of a new pastor creates ambivalence feelings and ponder many questions. In the midst of this, I sincerely believe that God is leading us to begin this journey in the same way that you are grateful for what the Lord gave you through these past years with the generous and joyful service of Fr. Noel Reyes as your former Pastor and Fr. Ronald Paulino as his Associate.
Since you do not know me, let me tell you something about my vocation. I was born in Bogota, Colombia on April 23, 1966. I come from a small family of my older brother and me. By the support of my parents, all my life I have studied at Catholic Institutions. I finished my High School in an institution run by the Salesians Priests; a religious community founded by St. John Bosco. With them, I also studied technical drafting which led me to
Queridos Feligreses, El Cardenal Blase Cupich me ha pedido venir a su
parroquia St Stephen Protomartyr para servirles como su pastor. Al moverme de otra parroquia, yo
creo que ustedes como yo experimentamos diferentes sentimientos y preguntas en este tiempo de transición. En medio de
todo esto, yo sinceramente creo que Dios nos guía para comenzar esta jornada de
la misma manera que ustedes están agradecidos por lo que El Señor les ha
dado estos años por medio del servicio y entrega generosa de su anterior pastor el
Padre Noel Beltran y su asociado Ronald Paulino. Como ustedes no me conoces, déjenme
decirles algo de mi vocación. Yo nací en Bogotá, en Abril 23 de 1966. Yo vengo de una
familia pequeña con un hermano mayor y yo. Con el apoyo de mis padres, toda mi vida he estudiado en
instituciones católicas. Terminé mi secundaria en una institución dirigida por los padres Salesianos,
quienes fueron fundados por San Juan Bosco. Con ellos estudié dibujo arquitectónico el cual me
From the Pastor
pursue a degree in Civil Engineering in the University. At that time I was a member of a youth prayer group in a Carmelite Parish. Here, I heard a call from God to the priesthood and the religious life. I decided then to join the Discalced Carmelites and began the novitiate in 1986. A year later I began to study for a bachelor's degree in Philosophy, and at 1994 I received a Master’s degree in Divinity from the Javeriana University founded by the Jesuits in Bogota.
After my priesthood ordination on March 26 of 1995, I was assigned to be an Associate Pastor at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, a rural parish in Sonson, Colombia. My next assignment was an Associate Pastor at Saint Therese of Lisieux Parish in Bogota, Colombia where I was also the editor and manager of an international Carmelite magazine called Spiritual Life.
By assisting the parishioners in spiritual counseling, I felt the need to deepen my calling to serve God’s people by pursuing further education, so I came to the USA to study for a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling at Loyola University. While studying in Chicago, I served at several parishes of the Archdiocese of Chicago at weekend masses. When I returned to the Carmelite Province in Colombia, I was asked to serve as a Provincial Treasurer and as a Provincial Counselor. I also was rector of the Saint John of the Cross Theology Seminary for three years and then as a Pastor of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish in Cucuta, Colombia.
In need for bilingual priests, I received an invitation to once again serve the Archdiocese of Chicago in 2006 by coming to Santa Maria del Popolo Parish in Mundelein, first as a Parish Administrator and then as a Pastor.
Coming to St. Stephen is an opportunity for me to recognize the many blessings God has bestowed upon your parish throughout its 65 years and be able to establish new relationships which enable us to continue spreading the message of the Lord. Worshiping together in this multicultural community is certainly a call from the Spirit to remain growing in God’s service to all.
As we commemorate this 4th of July, may we be grateful to God and the spirit of America’s independence remains true to our nation’s founding principles.
In Jesus and Mary,
condujo a comenzar los estudios de ingeniería civil en la universidad. En esos tiempos yo estaba
vinculado a un grupo de oración en una parroquia dirigida por los sacerdotes Carmelitas descalzos.
Es en esta parroquia como descubrí el llamado a la vida religiosa en esta comunidad religiosa en el año de 1986. Un año después comencé mis estudios de
filosofía y luego en el año 1994 recibí el título de Master en Teología de la universidad Javeriana fundada por los sacerdotes Jesuitas en Bogotá.
Después de recibir la ordenación sacerdotal en Marzo 26 de 1995 fui asignado como vicario pastoral en la parroquia de Nuestra Señora del
Carmen en una zona rural de Colombia llamada Sonsón. Mi siguiente asignación fue ser vicario de
la parroquia Santa Teresita localizada en la ciudad capital en Bogotá y al mismo tiempo era editor y
administrador de una revista internacional de espiritualidad llamada “Vida Espiritual”
Al estar asistiendo en consejería a los feligreses de esta parroquia sentí la necesidad de estudiar más y
por eso vine a Estados Unidos y logré terminar los estudios de Consejería Pastoral en la universidad
de Loyola en Chicago. Mientras estudiaba allí, estuve prestando ayuda como sacerdote en varias
iglesias de la arquidiócesis de Chicago. Cuando regresé a Colombia a la Provincia de los Padres Carmelitas y se me pidió servir como ecónomo
general y consejero de la comunidad. También fue rector del seminario de teología San Juan de la Cruz
por tres años y luego fui nombrado Párroco de la Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Carmen, en Cúcuta.
Ante la necesidad de sacerdotes bilingües, recibí la invitación una vez mas de servir en la arquidiócesis de Chicago en el año 2006 para estar primero con
Administrador y luego pastor de mi anterior parroquia Santa Maria del Popolo.
Al venir a St. Stephen es una oportunidad que veo para reconocer las muchas bendiciones que Dios
ha derramado sobre su parroquia en estos 65 años y ser capaces de establecer nuevas relaciones que
nos ayuden a difundir el mensaje del Señor. Orando juntos en esta parroquia multicultural es
ciertamente un llamado del Espíritu para mantenernos en el servicio de Dios para todos.
Al conmemorar pues, este 4 de Julio, seamos agradecidos con Dios por el espíritu de
independencia en América y sus principios que la fundaron.
En Jesús y Maria
