My good people, our beautiful parish family continues to grow and so do your spiritual and social needs. There is only one bit of bad news in all of this: As we grow, I remain one.<\/p>\n
Let me be honest with you. I have a new health issue. That\u2019s what happens when you\u2019re getting older. Not much to worry about for now and I want to keep it that way. I just need to slow down a bit and that requires me to make some adjustments to my work schedule and here is where I need your understanding. From now on, I will not be available for evening appointments. All appoint-ments with me will have to be between 9:00 am and 4:00pm Tuesday through Friday. I will reserve the evenings for the prayer services we have on Friday nights and for councils, committees, and group meetings. Saturday and Sundays are devoted to homily preparation, confessions, quincea\u00f1era celebrations, weddings, and masses.<\/p>\n
For the last seven years I have made myself available to you in the evenings and on Saturdays as your schedule permitted. I can\u2019t do that anymore. I\u2019m 72 years old and I don\u2019t have the same en-ergy I use to have. It is my hope that my new schedule will allow me to keep serving you the best way possible and attend to all my duties and responsibilities for as long as I am your pastor.<\/p>\n
My schedule for individual appointments is filling up more rapidly than before and I am so glad that you feel so free to come and speak with me. I sincerely appreciate and honor your trust in me. I do have to ask you also to be a little patient if I can\u2019t schedule an appointment with you as quickly as you would like.<\/p>\n
I want to thank Fr. Tim for the help that he offers me here at the parish. His help really makes a difference for me and I also appreciate the kindness that you show him.<\/p>\n
You are in my prayers and in my heart.
\nPeace and Good.
\nFriar Julio<\/p>\n
Queridos hermanos, nuestra hermosa familia parroquial sigue creciendo, al igual que sus necesidades espirituales y sociales. Solo hay una mala noticia en todo esto: a medida que crecemos, yo sigo
\nsiendo uno.<\/p>\n
Seamos sinceros. Tengo un nuevo problema de salud. Es lo que pasa con la edad. No hay mucho de qu\u00e9 preocuparse por ahora y quiero que siga as\u00ed. Solo necesito bajar un poco el ritmo, lo que requiere hacer algunos ajustes en mi horario de trabajo, y aqu\u00ed es donde necesito su comprensi\u00f3n. De ahora en adelante, no estar\u00e9 disponible para citas por la noche. Todas las citas conmigo deber\u00e1n ser entre las 9:00 a. m. y las 4:00 p. m. de martes a viernes. Reservar\u00e9 las tardes para los servicios de oraci\u00f3n de los viernes por la noche y para los consejos, comit\u00e9s y reuniones de grupo. Los s\u00e1bados y domingos est\u00e1n dedicados a la preparaci\u00f3n de homil\u00edas, confesiones, celebraciones de quincea\u00f1eras, bodas y misas.<\/p>\n
Durante los \u00faltimos siete a\u00f1os, he estado disponible para ustedes por las tardes, noche, y los s\u00e1bados, seg\u00fan lo permit\u00eda su horario. Ya no puedo hacerlo. Tengo 72 a\u00f1os y ya no tengo la misma energ\u00eda que antes. Espero que mi nuevo horario me permita seguir sirvi\u00e9ndoles de la mejor manera posible y cumplir con todos mis deberes y responsabilidades mientras sea su p\u03acrroco.<\/p>\n
Mi agenda de citas individuales se est\u00e1 llenando m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que antes y me alegra mucho que se sientan tan libre de venir a hablar conmigo. Agradezco sinceramente su confianza. Tambi\u00e9n le pido
\nun poco de paciencia si no puedo programar una cita con usted tan pronto como desea.<\/p>\n
Quiero agradecer al Padre Tim por la ayuda que me brinda aqu\u00ed en la parroquia. Su ayuda realmente me ayuda y tambi\u00e9n agradezco la amabilidad que le demuestran.<\/p>\n
Est\u00e1s en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n.
\nPaz y Bien.
