FR. DON WOZNICKI
YOUR NEW ADMINISTRATOR
Hello (Hola) Christ the King! What a journey it has been for me ever since 1995 when I began
discerning my call to the priesthood. Oh, how God has blessed me at each and every parish I
have served since my ordination, and now I feel so incredibly blessed to be at this historic, lovely,
devout, and faith filled community, CHRIST THE KING!
As we get to know each other, I will fill you in more on the twist and turns that led me from a
being a young man who never ever considered priesthood (thought I would be married with a
bunch of kids – Hence, why I don’t have a load of gray hair today at age 55) to now your
Administrator, and God willing (if you want me), your pastor. My faith journey is somewhat
like so many of your sons, daughters, grandsons and granddaughters today (maybe even you)
who were born and raised Catholic and then apostatized (“fell away”) from the faith. But God is a relentless lover
who pursues His beloved souls no matter how far they wander from Him. God is so good – All the time! And HIS
MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!! [¡Dios es tan Bueno todo el tiempo! Y SU MISERICORDIA ES PARA
SIEMPRE!!]
Here is a bit about me now – I was born and raised in South Bend, IN (has a small, discreet Catholic college there
called, Notre Dame). In 1984, I received my Bachelors in Science in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University.
In 1987, I moved to Chicago, IL and continued my career as an engineer. It was in 1995, during my time as an
Enforcement Officer with The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Air & Radiation Division) and while I was
active in a non-denominational Christian Church (I thank God for them bringing me back to Jesus!) that I began to
sense the call to priesthood.
In 2002, I received my M.Div. and S.T.B. rom the University of St. Mary of the Lake (Mundelein Seminary) and was
ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago on May 18th (St. Pope John Paul II’s Birthday!). My assignments
(each and everyone, a blessing, forming and shaping my priesthood, while leaving an indelible mark on my heart)
have been as Associate Pastor of St. Norbert (Northbrook, IL. – July 2002 through December 2007); Resident at St.
Finbar (Burbank, CA. – January 2008 through December 2008); Associate Pastor of The Church of St. Mary
(Lake Forest, IL. – January 2009 through June 2012); Associate Pastor of St. Dorothy (Glendora, CA. – July 2012
through June 2014); Administrator of St. Bruno (Whittier, CA. – July 2014 through June 2016); and now,
Administrator of CHRIST THE KING!
What is a Chicago priest doing in LA and especially as the Administrator of Christ the King? Since 1998,
just before entering the major seminary, I have sensed “a call within a call” to help bring a more dedicated pastoral
presence of the Church within the entertainment community while bringing more truth, beauty, and goodness to the
entertainment culture. While in the seminary, I came to LA during my Fall, Spring and Summer breaks to work in
production to get a better understanding of the entertainment industry and what the people deal with. I worked on
commercials and even a TV Soap Opera called Sunset Beach. As a priest, I also became a chaplain for Act One, a
Christian mentorship program here in LA for writers, directors, and producers. In 2007, I stayed in LA for one year
to investigate how a dedicated ministry/chaplaincy to the entertainment community working through the
Archdiocese of LA might unfold. In July 2014, I began what is called the “incardination process” to transfer to being
a priest for the Archdiocese of LA (It’s like downloading an app onto your smart phone – it takes time, 5 years!). I am
currently entering my 5th year and soon to be “incardinated” (downloaded!).
My entertainment ministry (“call within a call”) is what has brought me to you right here at Melrose/Vine! I
believe God has something specially planned for Christ the King in this work of evangelizing the entertainment
culture. But what impresses me the most about Christ the King, is what I have seen (and who I have met) so far and
the faith tradition this parish holds. Today, this is a talented and diverse faith community comprised of a vibrant
Hispanic community together with Filipinos and people of every other mix (I am Polish-American). This is a
community that has a beautiful devotion to the Mother of God and Our Lord’s Merciful Sacred Heart. What has
made Christ the King great (and what will make it even greater) is a humble parish that comes together in faith to
worship and love Jesus – Our source of strength to deal with the challenges life deals and who offers us unlimited
love and forgiveness as we struggle with sin – In short, a faith community grounded daily in the mantra – “Jesus, I
Trust in You!” [Jesus, en vos confio!]
Christ the King – I am so pleased God has brought me to you! I look forward to meeting and getting to know you and
begin serving you!

Parents should avoid lecturing and start talking
Lecturing teenagers may feel like the right path to take,
especially if they are starting to develop bad habits or make
poor choices, but lecturing is usually the least effective way
to get your message across. Children tend to see lectures as
condescending and abstract, and this detracts from the
wisdom and advice you are trying to provide. Instead of
lecturing, try to engage your child in calm, open conversation
that addresses the issue while allowing you both to talk
about what’s going on. For more tips and a copy of the
VIRTUS® article “Communication Tip No. 11: Why Lecturing Doesn’t Work,”
email [email protected] or
call (213) 637-7227.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
July 3, 2016
Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Last Sunday, Jesus rebuked James and John for
wanting to “call down fire from heaven” (Luke 9:54–55)
on an unwelcoming town. As he sends forth disciples
today, Jesus again forbids retaliation against
non-receptive listeners (10:10–11), showing us how to
be Jesus’ “missionaries of mercy” this Jubilee Year of
Mercy. Like the first disciples, we are sent not to
proclaim ourselves but Jesus. As Jesus sent them in
pairs, so are we also to work together in the community
of the Church. We often describe the Church as Isaiah
describes Jerusalem in today’s first reading, our
comforting, nurturing Mother (Isaiah 66:13). So, going
forth gently, like lambs among wolves (Luke 10:3), we
share comforting peace, nurturing food and drink
(Luke’s image for Eucharist), and Jesus’ healing
promise of unfailing, unconditional mercy (10:5, 7, 9).
Thus Jesus bids us proclaim the kingdom of God by
showing what God’s kingdom looks like in action. “Go,
preach the Gospel,” Pope Francis’ saintly namesake of
Assisi is said to have instructed his first friars, “and
when necessary, use words!”

Los niños tienden a ver los sermones como altivos y
abstractos, y esto le quita valor a la sabiduría y
consejo que usted está tratando de dar. En lugar de
sermonear, trate de involucrarse con su hijo/hija en
una conversación calmada y abierta, en la que trate el
asunto de una forma que les permita a ambos hablar
sobre lo que está pasando. Para más consejos y una

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
3 de julio de 2016
Decimocuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El pasado domingo, Jesús reprendió a Santiago y Juan
por querer hacer “bajar fuego del cielo” (Lucas 9:54–55) a
un pueblo que no los recibió. Hoy, al enviar discípulos,
Jesús también les prohíbe represalias contra quienes no los
escuchan (10:10–11), mostrándonos cómo ser los “discípulos
de misericordia” de Jesús este Año Jubilar de la
misericordia.
Como los primeros discípulos, somos enviados no a
proclamarnos nosotros sino a Jesús. Así como Jesús los
envió de dos en dos, así también nosotros trabajamos juntos
en la comunidad de la Iglesia. A menudo, describimos la
Iglesia como Isaías describe a Jerusalén en la primera
lectura de hoy, nuestro consuelo, nuestra madre atenta y
amorosa (Isaías 66:13). Así, saliendo lentamente, como
corderos en medio de lobos (Lucas 10:3), compartimos paz
reconfortante, alimentos y bebidas nutritivas (una imagen
de Lucas acerca de la Eucaristía) y, la promesa de sanación
de Jesús de la misericordia incondicional e infalible (10:5, 7,
9).
Asimismo Jesús nos invita a proclamar el Reino de
Dios mostrando cómo es que su Reino se ve en acción. San
Francisco de Asís, de quien el Papa Francisco tomó su
nombre, solía decirle a sus primeros frailes “vayan y
prediquen el Evangelio y si es necesario utilicen palabras”.
