EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Dear People of Resurrection Catholic Community,
With sadness and gratitude I say farewell and God's
blessings to all of you as I move to my new assignment
as pastor of St. Bartholomew the Apostle Catholic
Church, in Katy, Texas. Over the past five years
serving you has filled me with joy and deepened
my friendship with Jesus. I drew closer to Him by
loving the ones whom He loves.
I have witnessed the Holy Spirit at work as we
have grown spiritually and as a community. Through our financial generosity, that of Prince
of Peace parish, and other benefactors, we were able
to renovate our campus with urgently needed repairs and
further beautification of our environment. We worked hard
together to develop our leadership through the chartering of
several new or renewed parish ministries and organizations. Our youth ministry has become a revitalizing force for
our young people, who in turn are becoming leaders in our
parish community. The school, even through so much adversity, has made significant progress in enrollment and
quality of education. The newly formed social concerns ministry has already led the people of RCC to be a force of social justice in the Denver Harbor community, a visible sign
that the spiritual responsibility of our parish extends beyond
915 Zoe Street. The list goes on. We have much to offer in
thanksgiving to our Lord. I am happy to have been a part of
this story of Resurrection Catholic Community.
There are so many I want to thank but there would not
be enough space in this newsletter to include an exhaustive
list. So I want to simply thank my parents who taught me the
faith and exemplified it in their service of the Gospel. Many
thanks to the staff and key volunteers who have worked and
continue to work tirelessly in the vineyard of RCC. I thank
Cardinal DiNardo for trusting me when he assigned me here
as a new pastor (and relatively new priest). I am grateful to
have known and served with Fr. Blas Herrador, may he rest
in peace. Finally, thanks to all of you for being such a welcoming and loving family. Many changes were made to advance our mission as a parish and you remained open to
them, even if you did not necessarily agree to them or completely understand them. This speaks volumes about the
soul, humility and character of the people of RCC.
For this reason I am confident that the RCC family will
bear much fruit in the years to come under the leadership of
Fr. Oscar Dubon. In the name of Jesus, welcome him as
you welcomed me. Be assured of my prayers for all of you
every day for the rest of my life. You are and will always
remain my first parish as a pastor. For that reason, you will
always have a special place in my heart. Thank you and
God's peace and blessings remain upon you.

Querido Pueblo de la Comunidad Católica de Resurreccion,
Con tristeza y gratitud me despido y les doy la bendición
de Dios a todos ustedes mientras que me muevo a mi
nueva asignación como párroco de la Iglesia Católica
de San Bartolomé el Apóstol, en Katy, Texas. En los
últimos cinco años de servicio a ustedes me ha llenado de alegría y profundizado mi amistad con
Jesús. Me acerque mas a Èl amando a aquellos a
quienes Èl ama.
He sido testigo de la obra del Espíritu Santo
en como hemos crecido espiritualmente y como comunidad. A través de nuestra generosidad financiera, la
de la parroquia Príncipe de Paz, y otros benefactores, hemos
sido capaces de renovar nuestras instalaciones con las reparaciones necesarias de urgencia y más embellecimiento de
nuestro ambiente. Hemos trabajado arduamente juntos para
desarrollar nuestro liderazgo a través de la alquilación de varios
ministerios y organizaciones parroquiales, nuevos o renovados.
Nuestro ministerio de jovenes se ha convertido en una fuerza
revitalizante para nuestros jóvenes, que a su vez se están convirtiendo en líderes en nuestra comunidad parroquial. La escuela, incluso a través de tanta adversidad, ha hecho progresos
significativos en la matrícula y la calidad de la educación. El
ministerio social de cuidado recién formado ya ha llevado a la
gente de RCC a ser una fuerza de justicia social en la comunidad de Denver Harbor, un signo visible de que la responsabilidad espiritual de nuestra parroquia se extiende más allá de 915
Zoe. La lista continua. Tenemos mucho que ofrecer en acción
de gracias a nuestro Señor. Estoy feliz de haber sido parte de
esta historia de la Comunidad Católica de Resurreccion.
Hay tantos a quien quiero agradecer, pero no habría suficiente espacio en este boletín para incluir una lista exhaustiva.
Por eso quiero simplemente dar gracias a mis padres que me
enseñaron la fe y la ejemplificaron en su servicio del Evangelio.
Muchas gracias al personal y voluntarios claves que han trabajado y siguen trabajando sin descanso en la viña de RCC. Agradezco al Cardinal DiNardo por confiar en mí cuando me asigno
aquí como un nuevo pastor (y relativamente nuevo sacerdote).
Estoy agradecido de haber conocido y servido con Padre Blas
Herrador, que descanse en paz. Por último, gracias a todos
ustedes por ser una familia acogida y amorosa. Se hicieron
muchos cambios para avanzar nuestra misión como parroquia
y ustedes permanecían abiertos a ellos, incluso si usted no necesariamente estuvo de acuerdo con ellos o completamente los
entendió. Esto dice mucho sobre el alma, la humildad y el
carácter de la gente de RCC.
Por esta razón, estoy seguro de que la familia de RCC,
dará mucho fruto en los próximos años bajo la dirección del
Padre Oscar Dubón. En el nombre de Jesús, denle la bienvenida a medida que me recibieron a mi. Tenga la seguridad de mi
oración diaria por todos ustedes durante el resto de mi vida.
Ustedes son y seguirán siendo mi primer parroquia como pastor. Por esa razón, siempre tendrán un lugar especial en mi
corazón. Gracias y que la paz y bendición de Dios permanezca
sobre ustedes.
