OUR COMMISSION COORDINATORS:
Serving our Churches as Three-in-One
PAGE 3
NUESTROS COORDINADORES DE COMISION
Sirviendo a nuestras Iglesias como Tres –en-Uno
I am very excited and very pleased to let our parishes know
that we have reached another milestone in the continuing
efforts to have a clear and workable plan of ministry in our
parishes. I know that this leadership structure will benefit all
our churches and help facilitate communication and interparish collaboration. I am pleased to introduce to you at our
masses the inter-parish commission coordinators, who directly work in
parishes to reach our short-term and long-term goals:
Estoy emocionado y muy complacido en darle a saber a nuestras
iglesias que hemos alcanzado otra milla en los esfuerzos continuos
de tener un claro y factible plan de ministerios en nuestras parroquias. Se que la estructura de liderazgo beneficiará a todas nuestras iglesias y ayudará a facilitar comunicación y colaboración inter
-parroquial. Estoy complacido en presentar a ustedes en nuestras
misas a los coordinadores de la comisión inter-parroquial, quienes
trabajan directamente en las iglesias para alcanzar las metas a corto y largo
plazo:
FR. SUNNY CASTILLO – Liturgy and Worship. As your pastor, I continue to be the primary liturgist of the parish, and will continue to work with
liturgical ministers to provide meaningful and prayerful liturgies and Eucharistic celebrations in our churches.
PADRE SUNNY CASTILLO- Liturgia y Veneración. Como su pastor, continuo siendo el liturgista principal de la parroquia, y continuaré trabajando con
los ministros de liturgia para proveer liturgias significativas y celebraciones
Eucarísticas en nuestras iglesias.
FR. ROY JACOB, CMI – Pastoral Care. Fr. Roy heads the team of parishioners who are the bearers of divine compassion and hope for our
parishioners who are suffering or struggling with difficult realities of life,
including visiting the sick and homebound, caring for the bereaved, and
reaching out to those who need spiritual guidance.
JACOB LEVY – Formation and Evangelization. Jacob has been doing
this in our community for at least a couple of years now, and the programs
of formation that he has been working with will continue to grow and respond to our need to learn about our faith and share our faith to others.
DON CIACCIO – Finance and Administration. Don Ciaccio has roots in
our three churches, and has great gifts and experiences in systems analysis and parish financial management. He is directly responsible as a resource in the areas of finance, buildings and grounds, staff management
and fundraising.
FR. FREDY SANTOS, CSV – Hispanic Commission. Fr. Fredy has a
history with our Hispanic community here in Kankakee even before I came
here in the area five years ago. He is working directly with the Hispanic
community to address the direct needs of our Latino brothers and sisters,
and to help in realizing mission-vision goals for our inter-parish Hispanic
ministries.
KATHY DUMMER – Parish Life. Kathy Dummer also has various connections in the Kankakee Community as a whole, and within our parishes
in particular. She is called to foster and strengthen the spirit of our community, of being one family in faith, and growing together in our unity
amidst our diversity. She also works with all parish organizations, like the
CCW, the Knights of Columbus and the Daughters of St. Anne.
TERI O’CONNOR – Outreach. All the outreach efforts of our churches
benefit from the gifts of Teri in promoting, fostering and inspiring the spirit
of generosity and sacrifice for the sake of the needy and the marginalized
in our community and beyond. She encourages our parishioners to work
together for common causes, like the Azzarelli Clinic, the Catholic Food
Pantry and the back-to-school outreach.
DAVID STEJKOWSKI – Visioning Commission. I have placed my full
confidence in David to help us discern what the future holds for our
churches, and to hear the pulse of the people. As the Chairman of the
Diocesan Pastoral Council, he definitely brings perspectives bigger than
the reality of the Catholic Church in our city.
PADRE ROY JACOB, CMI - Cuidado Pastoral. El Padre Roy encabeza el
equipo de los parroquianos quienes son los que llevan la compasión divina y
esperanza a nuestros parroquianos que están sufriendo y luchan con dificultad
las realidades de la vida, Incluyendo visitar a los enfermos y los que no pueden salir de casa, por los que están de luto viviendo su duelo, y llegar a los
que necesitan guía espiritual.
JACOB LEVY – Formación y Evangelización. Jacob ya ha hecho esto en
nuestra comunidad por algunos años, y los programas de formación en los
que ha estado trabajado continuaran creciendo y responderá a nuestras necesidades de aprender acerca de nuestra fe y compartir nuestra fe con otros.
DON CIACCIO – Financias y Administración. Don Ciaccio tiene raíces en
nuestras tres iglesias, y tiene grandes dones y experiencia en análisis de sistemas y manejo de financiamiento parroquial. El es responsable directamente
como un recurso en el área de finanzas, edificios y terrenos, administración
de personal y recaudación de fondos.
PADRE FREDY SANTOS, CSV – Comisión Hispana. El Padre Fredy tiene
historial con nuestra comunidad Hispana aquí en Kankakee incluso antes de
que yo llegara hace cinco años. El esta trabajando con la comunidad Hispana
para responder directamente a las necesidades de nuestros hermanos Latinos, y ayudar en llevar acabo la misión-visión de las metas de nuestros ministerios Hispanos inter-parroquiales.
KATHY DUMMER – Vida Parroquial Kathy Dummer también tiene varias
conexiones en la Comunidad de Kankakee y dentro de nuestras parroquias en
particular. Ella esta llamada a nutrir y fortalecer el espíritu de nuestra comunidad, de ser una familia de fe y crecer juntos en nuestra unidad en medio de
nuestra diversidad. También trabaja con todos los organizadores parroquiales
como CCW, Los Caballeros de Colón y las hijas de Santa Ana.
TERI O”CONNER - Servicios para la comunidad. Todos los esfuerzos
de nuestras iglesias se benefician de los regalos de Teri en promover, nutrir e
inspirar el espíritu de generosidad y sacrificio por el bien de los necesitados y
marginados en nuestra comunidad y mas allá. Ella anima a nuestros parroquianos a trabajar juntos por causas comunes, como la Clínica Azzrelli, el
Dispensario Católico de comida y el regreso a clases.
DAVID STEJKOWSKI – Comisión de Visión. He puesto toda mi confianza
en David para ayudarnos a discernir lo que guarda el futuro para nuestras
iglesias, y escuchar el latido de la gente. Como Presidente de el Concilio
Pastoral Diocesano, definitivamente trae perspectivas mas grandes que la
realidad de la Iglesia Católica en nuestra ciudad.
Thank you to our Commission Coordinators for their enthusiasm. I am
sure that our parishioners will get to know them even better as they serve
our churches. The work has begun, and I am confident of the fruits that
we will reap ahead. God bless our church!
Gracias a nuestros Coordinadores de Comisión por su entusiasmo. Estoy
seguro que nuestros parroquianos los llegaran a conocer aun mejor mientras
sirven a nuestras iglesias. El trabajo ha comenzado, y estoy seguro de los
frutos que cosecharemos . Dios bendiga nuestra iglesia!
Working Gratefully and Joyfully,
Fr. Sunny Castillo

Parish Nurse Note July 24, 2016
Happy, Holy, & Healthy
Recent studies in Psychology Today show scientist and spiritual teachers alike agree that the simple
act of smiling can transform you and the world around you.
Current research (and common sense) shows us that a
smile is contagious. It can make us appear more attractive to
others. It lifts our mood as well as the moods of those
around us. And it can even lengthen our lives. How smiling
affects your brain? Each time you smile you throw a little
feel-good party in your brain. The act of smiling activates
neural messaging that benefits your health and happiness.
Details next week – keep smiling.

Ask. Seek. Knock. Do you know someone who is
just so relentless? He tirelessly makes his point! She
keeps at it and does not back down. They ask...and
ask again...and yet again! Abraham, the merciful
one, is just like that—reread of his persistence in Genesis 18:2032. the friend is just like that, too, in Luke 11:1-13. And Jesus
tells all who hear, and that is us today as well, be just like that in
addressing god. Ask. Seek. Knock. Few words, fewer actions,
great persistence.
 How will my prayer be persistent this week?
 For whom and for what will I pray?
 How can I respond like God and open my door (and my
heart), give food to the hungry, bargain for the innocent?

When the light touches the darkness…
One day, Mother Teresa was walking through the streets of Calcutta thinking about the miseries and anguish of the people in the streets. Suddenly her eyes captured a scene, some street boys throwing stones at someone who was so advanced in age, whose body was full of wounds with odor and stinking. They were chasing him away from the town.
Mother felt so sad and rushed to the spot, scolded the children and sends them out. Then Mother Teresa took him to the
convent and began to treat him. But this man was continuously speaking abusive words and language because he hated
everything and everyone. Mother simply ignored everything with great peace of mind. After washing and treating his
wounds well, he stopped saying foul language. He looked at the eyes of the mother and asked why do you treat me in
this way with strong love in spite of all the foulness and fetor of my wounds. Mother with a smiling face replied, “There is someone whom I love
most, that is Jesus the Son of God. I see his figure in your eyes, and that is the only reason I love and treat you with utmost care and love.” In a
few days he died with a great peace of mind.
We know that the sun becomes brightest at the middle of the day but the ever beautiful time of the day is not noon but morning and evening.
Because they are the moments of the day and the night intersecting together. The morning sun removes the darkness of the night. In the same
way the beautiful moments of our life are when people love each other and takes care of the other: it is the moment that we identify that the
other is my brother. When it happens in our life, we say the darkness removed, and light filled all over. The word of God says, “Whoever says he
is in the light, yet hates his brother, is still in the darkness. Whoever loves his brother remains in the light, and there is nothing in him to cause a
fall. Whoever hates his brother is in darkness; he walks in darkness and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his
eyes” ( 1 John 2: 8-11).
The sun shines by itself but the moon and the other planets share the light of the sun, they borrow the light from the sun for it cannot shine by
itself. We are not light by ourselves but darkness, unless we share the light of God. To be shone like the sun, we need the rays of God to be
penetrated into our hearts. The word of God teaches us. “But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another.” 1 John 1:6-7.
There are many in the world who still live in utter hatred and revenge due to many reasons. It is not the one who was hated who needs our pity
but the one who hates his brother. Because he is in darkness and spiritual blindness. The word of God reminds us “See to it that no one is deprived of the grace of God, that no bitter root spring up and cause trouble, through which many may become defiled.” Heb: 12:15. Therefore let
us try to be in the light of God and permeate that love all around us.
Have a great Week!
