January 5, 2020 The Epiphany of the Lord •

Dear fellow parishioners, I pray you had a wonderful Christmas celebra on with family and friends. I hope you were able to be pilgrims on a journey to discovering Christ in the messiness of life, and not merely a tourist looking for a perfect vaca on. I am currently away on my first break from the parish since I returned on July 1, 2019. I have had a wonderful recep on back to the parish a er 15 years and look forward to being with you for years to come. Many of you are already aware of Fr. Fredy Mancilla’s health challenges for the past six years dealing with a brain tumor and subsequent side effects. Over the past several months Fr. Fredy has experienced some challenging health issues which have limited his ability to effec vely serve at the parish. Effec ve January 1, 2020, Fr. Fredy will go on Medical Leave with no set date to return, thus leaving St. Norbert Parish. It is a most inconvenient me, but with the help of many of my brother priests and deacons we will make it work. Please keep Fr. Fredy in your prayers. He will be working on his health so that he can return to full priestly ministry as soon as possible. What will this mean for us as a parish community? In the short term it may mean some daily Masses become a Communion Services, and Fr. Charles and I may be a bit busier with funerals, sick calls and hospital visits. We will try and honor all of our commitments, but some things may need to be cancelled or rescheduled. I pray that on or before July 1, 2020 we will have an addi onal priest to meet the needs of our parish community. Please keep Fr. Freddy in your prayers. Peace and blessings,

Fr. John

Es mados feligreses, Oro para que hayan tenido una maravillosa celebración de Navidad con familiares y amigos. Deseo que hayan sido peregrinos en una jornada para descubrir a Cristo en el desorden de la vida, y no simplemente un turista en busca de unas vacaciones perfectas. Actualmente me encuentro fuera en mi primer empo de descanso desde que regresé el 1ro de julio del 2019. He tenido una maravillosa recepción de regreso a la parroquia después de 15 años y espero estar con ustedes en los próximos años. Muchos de ustedes ya saben sobre los desa os de salud del padre Fredy Mancilla durante los úl mos seis años relacionados con un tumor cerebral y los efectos secundarios posteriores. En los úl mos meses el padre Fredy ha experimentado algunos problemas de salud que han limitado su capacidad de servir eficazmente en la parroquia. A par r del 1ro de enero del 2020, el padre Fredy estará de licencia médica sin una fecha fija para regresar, dejando así la parroquia de San Norberto. Es un momento inconveniente, pero con la ayuda de muchos de mis hermanos sacerdotes y diáconos haremos que esto funcione. Por favor, mantengan al padre Fredy en tus oraciones. Él estará trabajando en su salud para que pueda regresar de lleno al ministerio sacerdotal lo antes posible. ¿Qué significará esto para nosotros como comunidad parroquial? A corto plazo, puede significar que algunas misas diarias se conviertan en servicios de comunión,el padre Charles y yo estaremos más ocupados con funerales, llamadas por enfermedad y visitas al hospital. Intentaremos cumplir con todos nuestros compromisos, pero algunas cosas pueden necesitar ser canceladas o reprogramadas. Ruego que el 1ro de julio, 2020 o antes, tengamos un sacerdote adicional para sa sfacer las necesidades de nuestra comunidad parroquial. Por favor, mantengan al padre Fredy en tus oraciones. Paz y bendiciones,

Padre John
