Transition at St. Anthony…

My dear brothers and sisters,
Five years ago, my mission was to come here at St Anthony Parish.  During this time, I have been blessed with God’s grace to grow in humility, compassion and love for all of you here at St. Anthony. 
My promise of obedience has been challenged at times. 
I especially thank Fr. Olman for mentoring me and for sharing his experience and wisdom with utmost generosity.
I will be leaving St. Anthony Parish to serve as Pastor at St. Holy Spirit Parish, Fremont  in July 2017.  My life is to follow God’s will.
It is not easy to say good-bye.  We have shared many memories, and many friendships have developed throughout the years that it is hard to imagine not having you to serve. 
But memories of those good relationships will always stay in my mind and in my heart.
I ask you to pray for me and through the intercession of St. Anthony of Padua and St. John Vianney that I continue to grow in God’s love and humility and share my life with His children wherever He sends me. 
Jesus, I trust in you. 
Thank you and I love you!
I am grateful we still have about 8 months together.

Peace and Blessings,                    Fr. Ken                                
 
Transicion en San Antonio…

Mis queridos hermanos y hermanas,
Hace cinco años, mi misión era llegar a esta parroquia de San Antonio.  Durante este tiempo,  he sido bendecido con la gracia de Dios al crecer en humildad, compasión y amor por todos ustedes aquí en San Antonio.  
Mi promesa de obediencia  ha sido probada en ciertos momentos.
Le doy gracias especialmente al Padre Olman por apoyarme y por compartir su experiencia y sabiduría con extrema generosidad.
Me iré de San Antonio para servir como Párroco en la Iglesia de Espíritu Santo Fremont en Julio 2017. Mi vida es para seguir la voluntad de Dios.
No es fácil decir adiós.  Hemos compartido tantos momentos y a través de los años  muchas amistades se han desarrollado, que es difícil imaginarse el no seguirles sirviendo.
Pero los recuerdos de estas  buenas relaciones siempre se quedarán en mi mente y mi corazón. 
Les pido que recen por mi y que mediante la intercesión de San Antonio de Padua y San Juan Vianney,  yo continúe creciendo en el amor y humildad de Dios  para compartir mi vida con Sus hijos  donde sea que El me envíe. 
Jesús, en Ti confió. 
Muchas gracias y yo los quiero a todos ustedes!
Estoy agradecido porque tenemos mas o menos 8 meses juntos.

Paz y Bendiciones,                      Padre Ken
