Pastor’s Corner
July 27, 2015
Dearest Parishioners of Mary Star of the Sea,
Christ’s peace to all of you. As many of you know, I have been given the gift of being the new associate
pastor here. Many of us know each other; some of us do not. This letter is a way for me to briefly
introduce or reacquaint myself with you as my priestly ministry begins at this wonderful parish.
I was born in San Pedro in 1975. My family is among the oldest families here, having immigrated to this town in 1883. We have
been members of Mary Star for generations. I was baptized here, made my first Confession here, and received my first Holy
Communion here. I was an altar server here for many good years in my youth, and always took great joy in being so close to the
most central and sacrificial mystery of our Faith in the Holy Mass. It was among the most beautiful days of my life when I
celebrated my first Mass here as a priest two years ago. To have now been assigned as your associate pastor—to be a spiritual father
to the very community which has fathered, mothered, nourished, and supported me—is a humbling honor.
My faith journey has taken me into many lands, and many lives. I have had the gift of seeking God among peoples of various
cultures and traditions, a journey which brought me home spiritually in an even deeper way to the fullness of truth in Christ and His
Church, and which now brings me home physically to you. A great paradox of our Faith is that the more we seek, the more hungry
we become for the truth that we have found. We are never satiated, but rather thirst more and more for the divine life. The deepest
passions of my heart were awakened through this search, which only intensifies with time. I am ever filled with joy to discover and
to rediscover daily the Church’s wonderful way of life centered upon the Sacred Liturgy in its transcendent beauty, the peace and
fire of the spiritual life, and the call to conversion of the true Gospel, and I am blessed to come home and live this way of life with
you.
In the Heart of Mary,
Father Cassian DiRocco

Today’s Readings
First Reading — The people of Israel receive bread from
heaven in response to their grumbling
(Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15).
Psalm — The Lord gave them bread from heaven
(Psalm 78).
Second Reading — Put on the new self that has been
created in God’s way (Ephesians 4:17, 20-24).
Gospel — I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me
will never hunger (John 6:24-35).
God’s Work
We are so busy! Most of us have more than one job to do,
and we never seem to have enough time. We are workers,
volunteers, parents, friends, and most of us are more than one
thing at a time. But which of these is the work of God?
We seldom view our ordinary work as being the work of
God. We may think that we have to be ministers or priests,
missionaries or charity workers, engaged full-time in works
formally identified as being “God’s work.” But everything
we do with a faithful heart and with love for others is God’s
work. We each have our own role to fill in the world, and
many gifts are necessary. We cannot always see the direct
connection of our daily work to the plan of God. But we trust
and we believe that God leads us to do what is needed, where
it is needed. What is “God’s work?” “This is the work of
God, that you believe in the one he sent” (John 6:29).

Whoever governs their passions is master of the world. We

God’s Word Today
Today we hear a continuation of the “Bread of Life Discourse”
from the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel. We should try to place
ourselves once again in the crowd that has been following the
Lord. They just experienced the astounding miracle of the
loaves and fishes. The Lord tells them that the bread of God will
give life to the world. We can imagine ourselves being inspired
by this saying and prompted to respond as Jesus’ followers did:
“Sir, give us this bread always.” Isn’t this the real motivation
behind coming to Mass week in and week out? Here, we find the
very presence of Christ—in the word and in the Eucharist. Here
we find the bread of life. Here we find the One who promises
that whoever comes to him will never hunger and will never
thirst. Let us allow this reality to sink in today as the word of
God comes alive in our presence.

Treasures from Tradition
Customs surrounding wedding rites are often in tension with
our liturgical tradition. Sometimes practices are almost
forced on engaged couples. Anyone who has ever planned a
wedding knows how quickly the invoices expand. A hundred
dollars here, a hundred there, often for non‑essentials, when
more deeply traditional practices, like an expression of
charity for the poor, fall by the wayside. One such practice
often labeled as “deeply traditional” is the aisle runner for the
bride. Actually, the American tradition is to clean our church
buildings, in contrast to European village churches, which
often had dirt or cobblestone floors. There, a band of linen
(rented) or a carpet of flowers might be set in place for a
bridal party. Here, plastic roll‑ups are procured and
positioned by the ushers for the bride’s entrance. The
problems are many, not the least of which is that there is no
“bride’s entrance” in our official liturgy. Another is that in a
wedding Mass, the communicants have to navigate the
treacherous aisle with the sometimes-slippery runner. The
aisle runner is neither a treasure nor a tradition, and by
omitting it, the couple who asks for canned goods for the
poor to be brought to church at their wedding Mass will find
an extra hundred dollars or so for the cause!

Through the Make a Wish Foundation, Fr. Harrigan
was contacted by the family of Natalie Martinez, an 8year old 2nd Grader from Holy Trinity Elementary

Natalie’s wish was to ride the Ferris wheel at our 68th

courage and strength, we bestowed upon Natalie the
