BLESSED DAYS OF SUMMER
BENDITOS DÍAS DE VERANO
I cannot believe that it is now August! Time flies by so
fast when we are having a lot of fun, and doing a lot of
good things. In our churches, we continue to count our
blessings, and as your pastor, I feel proud to see that
many good things are happening around us, and we are
being pro-active in building our community.
¡Apenas puedo creer que ya estamos en agosto! El tiempo
vuela cuando lo estamos gozando, y haciendo muchas cosas
buenas. En nuestras iglesias, seguimos contando nuestras
bendiciones, y como su pastor, me siento orgulloso al ver
todo lo que pasa alrededor, y que somos pro-activos en formar comunidad.
We are blessed because of the launching of our newly renamed
Kankakee Catholic Food Pantry. We had a representation from all
four Catholic Churches in Kankakee, and it spoke greatly of the unifying power of holy work. When we have common goals to do good
to others in the name of our love of God, we build community!
Thanks to the many volunteers who continue to work at our food
pantry. Thank you to the many parishioners and good-hearted people who support the cause of feeding the hungry. Thank you to
those who have been part of it, and the others who will step up to
volunteer or promote it. I also thank God for the people who come
to receive the food; they make our ministry meaningful. God is good
and we are blessed!
We are blessed that at this point, our Catholic School System in the
Kankakee Deanery is on its way to a promising start of the school
year, as well as an equally exciting beginning of the launching of the
unified Faith Formation program of our three churches. These transitions are successful because of the leadership work of many people. I want to say a specific thank you to Terry Granger and his
team for all the efforts that have been put into the McNamara Catholic School System in our community. I also want to say thank you to
Sr. Rose Urbanczyk, Carolyn Levy, Diana Mendoza and their team
for the preparations that were done in developing our Kankakee
Catholic Faith Formation Program. What a great investment for the
future of our children and the next generation of Catholics in our
community.
I am blessed to have an opportunity to observe the Year of Mercy
through a cruise retreat that I have organized with my pilgrimage
community. This retreat experience begins this weekend, and as I
embark on this special journey, I promise to pray for our churches
and for the many people that are seeking for intercession. I want to
take this opportunity to clarify that in my 12 years as a priest, I have
NEVER gone beyond the allotted number of time away (vacation,
retreat and continuing education) that the diocese prescribes for our
diocesan priests. I never thought that I needed to explain the allotment of my time away within each fiscal year until someone actually
called my attention and questioned it. Thankfully, I always write
down my yearly schedule vis-à-vis the diocesan prescription on a
sheet to make sure that I can readily account for it. I have always
thought of myself as a conscientious and responsible person, but for
those who need reassurance, I am open to discuss my time away
with anybody that needs it.
As I always say, “Church, stay happy, healthy and holy!” In many
ways, we are blessed and I ask that we always take the time to consider those blessings that overflow around us always. You are always in my heart, and know that by the grace of God, I will be back
a better person and better priest! God bless us all.
With my utmost love and respect, Fr. Sunny Castillo
Somos bendecidos porque hemos recién renombrado al Kankakee Catholic Food Pantry. Tuvimos una representación de las cuatro Iglesias
Católicas en Kankakee, y esto manifiesta claramente el poder unificador
de una obra santa. Cuando tenemos metas comunes en hacer buenas
obras al prójimo por amor a Dios, entonces formamos comunidad! Gracias a todos los voluntarios que continúan trabajando en la despensa de
alimentos. Gracias a la cantidad de feligreses y a gente de buen corazón
que apoya la causa de alimentar a los hambrientos. Gracias a los que
han tomado parte en esto, y a los que están por promover esta causa.
También doy gracias a Dios por la gente que viene a recibir alimentos;
ellos benefician de nuestro ministerio. ¡Dios es bueno y nos bendice!
Somos bendecidos porque actualmente, nuestro Sistema Escolar Católico en la Decanía de Kankakee está en camino a un principio prometedor
del año escolar, igualmente da principio al programa de Formación de Fe
por parte de nuestras tres iglesias. Éstas transiciones deben su éxito al
liderazgo de mucha gente dedicada. Doy las gracias especialmente a
Terry Granger y su equipo por todos los esfuerzos por el bien del Sistema de la Escuela Católica McNamara ubicada en nuestra comunidad.
También doy las gracias a la Hna. Rose Urbanczyk, Carolyn Levy, Diana
Mendoza y sus equipos por las preparaciones en el desarrollo del Programa de Formación de Fe Católica en Kankakee. Esta es una gran
investidura para el futuro de nuestros niños en la siguiente generación de
Católicos en nuestra comunidad.
Soy bendecido por la oportunidad de guardar el Año de Misericordia por
medio de un viaje retiro que he organizado con mi comunidad peregrina.
Esta experiencia de retiro empieza este fin de semana, y al embarcar
este viaje especial, les prometo orar por nuestras iglesias y por toda la
gente que busca intercesión. Tomo esta oportunidad para clarificar que
en mis 12 años de sacerdocio, yo NUNCA he traspasado el límite de
tiempo que se nos da (vacación, retiro y educación continua) que la diócesis prescribe para los sacerdotes diocesanos. Yo nunca pensaba que
fuera necesario dar explicación por mi tiempo permitido para estar fuera
dentro de cada año fiscal, hasta que alguien actualmente me llamó la
atención y me interrogó. Gracias a Dios que cada año reviso mi inventario de prescripción diocesana en un papel para estar seguro que fácilmente puedo dar cuentas. Siempre he pensado de sí, como persona
consciente y responsable, pero para aquellos que necesiten seguridad,
yo estoy disponible para dar explicación de mi tiempo fuera, con quién lo
necesite.
Como siempre digo, “Iglesia, sosténganse felices, sanos y santos!” En
variedad de maneras somos bendecidos, hay que tomar tiempo para
considerar esas bendiciones que se desbordan siempre a nuestro alrededor. Ustedes siempre están en mi corazón, y sepan que por la gracia
de Dios, yo regresaré una persona mejor y un sacerdote mejor! Que Dios
nos bendiga.
Con sumo amor y respeto,
Padre Sunny Castillo

Parish Nurse Note Aug. 7, 2016
Happy, Holy, & Healthy
Some of you may remember, “Smile, You’re
On Candid Camera”, or similar shows with the
goal of getting you to smile. Well, here are some more
personal reasons...Studies at the University of Aberdeen, Scotland tells us we look better when we smile
and people treat you differently. You’re viewed as attractive, reliable, relaxed and sincere. Smiling faces
always send a message, don’t they? So the challenge
this week is: Put a smile on your face at least as often
as you put it in your text messages.

“Perhaps one of your friends has become pregnant
unexpectedly. As someone who has been there, I
encourage you to support your friend in her journey of being
a mother...Your support might be the only support she receives.”
“10 Ways to Support Her When She’s Unexpectedly Expecting”

“Tal vez una de tus amigas haya quedado embarazada inesperadamente. Como alguien que ha pasado por eso, te
animo a que apoyes a tu amiga en su nueva senda de ser
madre...Tu apoyo puede sesr el único que reciba”.

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hard but clear words today. Jesus tells his beloved
“little flock”, that includes us, to sell belongings and
give alms. Do not be afraid. Sell. Give. Yet, we are
sometimes afraid to let go, to give away. I really like this, we
say. I might need it later, we say. Since we are numbered
among his disciples, what Jesus said to Peter and to the rest of
the Followers, he says to us:
 Do no fear!
 Give alms!
 Be ready to act for the benefit of others; be ready to do
what is good!
 So, this week, I will _______________________!

There was a young man who lived in a village and was at times hired for daily wages to work in
the nearby town. One day in a dream an angel appeared to him and asked, “Are you happy?”
“What? Happiness for someone like me who is always unemployed? If I get a good job I would be
happier.” “Ok, the angel said, tomorrow you will get a job.” As the angel said, he got a job in a
bank as a peon. He was so happy and enjoyed his life, but after a year the angel again appeared
and asked, “Hey son, are you happy?” “What happiness does a peon have in the bank? If I had
clerk post I would be still happier.” “The angel said ok, as you wished you will get the job of a clerk
tomorrow.”
The next day he was promoted and received the clerical post. He was so happy having more money and more friends,
and he felt proud of himself. After a year the same angel appeared one more time and repeated the same question.
The man said, “I am not happy because I do not have a house according to the status of my post.” The angel said,
“Do not worry my son, tomorrow you will get enough money.” The next day he won the raffle ticket for a hundred thousand dollars and he built a beautiful house. The angel decided to visit him one more time after completing a year and
asked him if he was happy. The man replied, “Now I have everything I have desired, but still I am missing one thing,
that is happiness. I have everything but happiness.” The angel said, “Real happiness is the sole possession of God;
only God can give you real happiness.”
Any amount of precious and valuable things and comforts of this world will make us really happy and content. Yet the
greed and avarice will be multiplied. Elsewhere in the bible we read, “ I have tasted all the pleasures that a man can
enjoy. I did not deny anything that my eyes have desired, there is nothing that I have not tasted, but everything was
mere illusion and dreamlike.”
Everything that we do 24/7 is to bring happiness, but we never attain what we desired, for we look for it in the wrong
place. The book of Ecclesiastes says, “All human toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is never satisfied.” (Eccl 6:7) As
the birds are flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water, man has to live with God always. When our focus of attention goes away from God we will be agitated and stirring. “For who can eat or drink apart from God? For to the one
who pleases God, he gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the one who displeases, God gives the task of
gathering possessions for the one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chase after wind.” (Eccl 2:25-26).
Therefore let us turn our attention towards God and make God and us happy.
Have a good week! Rev.. Roy Jacob, CMI
