SIENDO UN PASTOR DE LA PARROQUIA SAN JUAN PABLO II

Cuando el Obispo Conlon me llamó hace unas semanas acerca de ser instalado como pastor de la Parroquia Juan Pablo II, mi reacción fue, “¿Qué? ¿Otra vez?” Bromeando, le dije al Obispo que esto era notable en la diócesis. Yo seré el pastor más instalado en la diócesis de Joliet desde que el Obispo Conlon vino a la diócesis en 2011 – que fue su prime-

ra instalación al llegar aquí a la Parroquia Santa Teresa cuando me nombró pastor en Agosto 28 de 2011. Luego me instaló Pastor de la Parroquia de Santa Rosa en Octubre 31 de 2015, y como pastor de la Parroquia San Martín el día siguiente, Noviembre 1 de 2015. Y hoy, do-mingo, Agosto 27 de 2017, el Obispo Conlon me instala nuevamente como pastor fundador de la Parroquia San Juan Pablo II.

Al escribir este artículo, acabo de leer los Canons 515-552, para recordar las expectaciones oficiales que vienen con la instalación. Como la prime-ra vez que leí este capítulo, yo nuevamente me sentí abrumado por la inmensidad de responsabilidad que se me ha confiado por el Obispo. He aprendido muchas cosas como pastor en mis seis años. Primeramen-te aprendí que Dios esta activamente trabajando en, y a través de la Iglesia. Muchas veces, o casi día por día, veo como Dios me usa a mí y a los feligreses para efectuar Su plan. Algunas veces, los eventos suceden muy a su tiempo, que hasta siento escalofrío. Además, he aprendido que Dios provee generosidad. Su Divina Providencia se manifiesta no solo en lo material pero en el apoyo a la vida de la parroquia, y más importan-te es la gente que Él trae a la Iglesia que demostrando que hay un plan. El ser pastor me ha enseñado en alinear metas y prioridades, especial-mente porque la demanda por el sacerdote es tan exigente. Finalmente, he realizado que el ser sacerdote y pastor ha dado sentido a mi vida, y según me comprometo nuevamente a ser pastor de nuestra nueva parro-quia, yo re-eco lo que diré en el rito de instalación – que yo prometo, sobre todas las cosas que el cuidado de las almas es la razón del porqué yo estoy con ustedes.

Quiero tomar esta oportunidad para dar las gracias al Obispo Conlon por su continuo apoyo y confianza para conmigo. Siempre recordaré sus llamadas telefónicas para saber cómo iban las transiciones que tomaban lugar en nuestra comunidad. Doy las gracias al equipo parroquial por su liderazgo – a los consejos parroquiales, los consejos financieros, las comisiones y ministerios, las organizaciones y grupos de apoyo, y sobre todo, al personal – de las tres parroquias del pasado, y la nueva parro-quia del presente. He sido inspirado personalmente en estar rodeado por mucha gente que está unida y comprometida en formar una comuni-dad parroquial. Gracias a nuestros feligreses que generosamente han manifestado su amor y respeto, muchos de ellos me lo han manifestado con palabras de ánimo y oraciones. Yo personalmente doy las gracias a mi familia, especialmente a mi mamá Elma por todos sus consejos y sabiduría, como también a mi grupo sacerdotal de apoyo – el Padre Ma-rio Quijadas, el Padre Dindo Billote, y el Padre Mark Cote, por su pacien-cia y cuidado fraternal. Doy gracias a mis sacerdotes mentores a través de los años-el Padre Santos Rabang, OSB, el Padre Proceso Barroga (+), el Padre Don McLaughlin, el Padre Tom Paul, el Padre Tony Tas-chetta, el Padre Joel Fortier. Doy gracias a mis familias espirituales – Nadhja & Bobbie de Leon, y Wilma y Juan Salgado. Y finalmente a todas mis amistades en varios tiempos y en varios lugares en mi vida, especial-mente los Felices Peregrinos que han llegado a ser compañeros espiri-tuales y amigos a través de los años.

Algún día, cuando recuerde este episodio de mi vida, espero ver que he sido fiel en todo, y aquellos que nos sigan encuentren en nosotros razo-nes para tener fe y gratitud. Favor de orar por mí y por nuestra parroquia, para que seamos la Iglesia que Dios nos pide ser. Que Dios bendiga la Iglesia, que Dios bendiga a nuestros sacerdotes. En el espíritu de San Juan Pablo II, Padre Sunny Castillo

BEING A PASTOR OF SAINT JOHN PAUL II PARISH

When Bishop Conlon called me several weeks ago about be-ing installed as pastor of St. John Paul II Parish, my first reac-tion was, “What? Again?!” Jokingly, I said to the Bishop that this would be a record in the diocese. I would be the most installed pastor in the diocese of Joliet since Bishop Conlon came to the Diocese in 2011 – the very first installation he did when he arrived in the diocese was my installation as pastor of Saint Teresa Parish on August 28, 2011. Then, he would install me again as pastor of Saint Rose Parish on October 31, 2015, and as pastor of Saint Martin Parish the next day, November 1, 2015. And now, this Sun-day, August 27, 2017, Bishop Conlon installs me again as the founding pastor of Saint John Paul II Parish.

As I write this article, I just finished reading Canons 515-552, to remind myself of the official expectations under the office I am being officially installed. Just like the very first time that I read this chapter, I again felt overwhelmed by the immensity of the responsibility being entrusted upon me by our Bishop.

Six years of being a pastor has taught me a lot of things. It first taught me that God is actively working in and through the Church. Many times, prac-tically on a day-to-day basis, I see how God is using me and the people of the parish to accomplish His plan. Sometimes, the timing of events gets to be so uncannily well-orchestrated, I get goose bumps. Together with this, I have also learned that God does provide generously. His Divine Providence is manifested not only in the material support to the life of the parish, but also more importantly, the people that He brings into the Church also shows that there is a plan. Being a pastor also taught me to outline my priorities and goals as a priest, especially because the demand for the priest is so great. Finally, I have also realized that being a priest and pastor has given meaning to my life, and as I recommit myself to being the pastor of our new parish, I re-echo what I would be saying at the rite of installation – that I would vow to put above all else the care of souls as the reason for being here with you.

I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to Bishop Conlon for his continued trust and support. I will never forget the personal phone calls from him, just simply asking how I was doing through all the transitions that have taken place in our community. I thank the parish leadership team – the parish councils, finance councils, commissions and ministries, organizations and support groups, and most of all, the staff – of the three parishes of the past, and the new parish of the present. It has been per-sonally inspiring to be surrounded by many good people who are commit-ted to building our parish family together. Thank you to our parishioners who have so generously shown their love and respect, many of whom have showered me with words of encouragement and prayers. I person-ally thank my family, especially my mom Elma for all her advice and wise counsel, as well as my priest support group – Fr. Mario Quejadas, Fr. Dindo Billote, and Fr. Mark Cote, for their enduring brotherly care. I thank my priest mentors through the years – Fr. Santos Rabang, OSB, Fr. Proceso Barroga (+), Fr. Don McLaughlin, Fr. Tom Paul, Fr. Tony Taschetta, Fr. Joel Fortier. I thank my spiritual families – Nadhja & Bob-bie de Leon, and Wilma and Jun Salgado. And finally to all my friends in the various times and places of my life, particularly the Happy Pilgrims who have become special spiritual companions and friends through the years.

Someday, when I look back at this episode of my life, I hope to see that I have been faithful through it all, and those that follow would find in us reasons to believe and to be grateful. Please pray for me and our parish, that we may be the Church that God calls us to be in our time here in Kankakee. God bless the Church, God bless our priests.

In the spirit of St. John Paul II, Fr. Sunny Castillo

St. John Paul II Parish ¡Gracias por su Generosidad!

August 27, 2017 Jesus knew that Peter had the ability and the openness to God’s grace that would enable him to be a powerful witness. Recognizing him, jesus palced Peter as the rock on which he would build his Church. Like Peter, we each have a calling as stewards of God’s Gifts. We are to listen to promptings of the Holy Spirit and be prepared to step out in faith to fulfill it.
