Father Martin’s Corner
Brother Joshua Keeney is a seminarian of our diocese. He will spend his Pastoral Year in our Parish. He is here with us to know and learn parish life and ministry. Our role as a Parish is very important and essential to his formation to the priesthood. There are two aspects of priestly formation. First, it is the so-called intra-seminary formation. A seminarian is formed in the four walls of the seminary spiritually and intellectually. Second, a seminarian should undergo an extra-seminary formation. Pastoral Year is a more extensive field education. Since a seminarian is preparing himself to be a priest, he has to be immersed pastorally in the parish life and minis-try and continues to discover himself through human relationships with the people of God. Living in the parish, he will learn and reflect on the life of a priest and at the same time get to know the People of God, here at St. Philomene's. Let us therefore support and form him in this indispensable formative year with our love, kindness, patience and understanding. Let us make his pastoral year worthwhile. Join me therefore to welcome, Brother Joshua into our Parish!

Rincón del Padre Martin
Nuestro Hermano Joshua Keeney es un seminarista de nuestra diócesis. Él pasará su año Pastoral aquí en nuestra parroquia. La razón de su estancia con nosotros es para conocer y aprender el ministerio y vida parroquial. Como parroquia y parroquianos, nuestro rol es muy importante y esencial para su for-mación en el sacerdocio. Hay dos aspectos de la formación sacerdotal. En primer lugar, la formación interna en el seminario. Un seminarista se forma en las cuatro paredes del seminario espiritual e intelectualmente. En segundo lugar, un seminarista debe someterse a una formación externa. El año pastoral es una educación más amplia. Ya que el seminarista se está preparando para ser sacerdote, él tiene que internarse en la vida parroquial y ministerio pastoralmente y así, continuar descubriéndose a sí mismo a través de las relaciones humanas con el pueblo de Dios. Viviendo en la parroquia, aprendiendo y reflexionando sobre la vida de un sacerdote y al mismo tiempo conociendo el pueblo de Dios, aquí en St. Philomene. Por lo tanto, en este año tan indispensable para él, seamos apoyo y parte de su formación sacerdotal con nuestro amor, bondad, paciencia y comprensión. ¡Hagamos del año pastoral de Joshua, uno que valga la pena! ¡Y así, únanse a mí para darle la bienvenida a nuestra parroquia a Joshua!
St. Philomene Parish wishes to welcome and
congratulate our 32 newly baptized infants and
their families.
