New Guidelines for Catholic Worship from our Pastor, Fr. Joseph Illo

From our Pastor,

Fr. Joseph Illo

From the Pastor's Laptop,

June 11, 2006





From the Pastor’s Laptop

The Holy Trinity is eternal, but eternally dynamic.

That is, Father-Son-Holy Spirit are perfect and unchanging

in essence, but in continuous exchange of

loving conversation. The Holy Trinity, we might say,

is a family. We can always count on a good family to

“be there,” but there is always something “going on”

in a good family as well.

A parish, too, is a family. The parish of St. Joseph

will “be there” long after all of us are gone, but it is

always changing, growing, developing. Some have

expressed concern over the changes I have made in

my first six-year term as your pastor (which ended

June 1. My second term runs through 2012). While I

am not a perfect leader, I defend my changes thus:

the parish, like a person, develops, and we need to

meet the needs of our developing parish. We cannot

administer the parish in 2006 as we did in 1996.

Programs, priests, and personnel are ever changing,

but the parish remains.

It is with a certain melancholy that I announce the

departure of our Director of Administration, John

Misiak. John came to our staff in 2002 and has

brought us to new levels of administration. He has

manifested an exemplary work ethic, often burning

the midnight oil, and dedicated himself to fiscal and

operational transparency, gaining the trust of our

Finance Committee and parishioners. John’s last day

at the parish will be August 31. We thank him for his

years of service to our parish.

As we bid farewell to John Misiak, we welcome

Wayne Lewis, who will be our Parish Administrator.

Wayne is a native of Modesto, having spent his boyhood

at St. Stanislaus school in the ranks of the altar

boys. His mother, Susan, heads up our Tribunal

Aides program, and his sister, Sally Mears, heads up

our Environmental Justice apostolate. Wayne comes

to us with extensive business experience in Modesto

and the Bay Area, and will begin July 19.

The Mass Explained

A joke: how many Catholics does it take to change a

lightbulb. Answer: none—they use candles. Actually,

we use candles because the Jews used (and use) candles.

Last Sunday was Pentecost, and God the Holy

Spirit deigned to appear to the apostles as Flames of

Fire. I suppose if little flames are good enough for Pentecost,

they are good enough for the rest of the year.

Why doesn’t every church use candles?
