FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Fr. Michael B. Brillantes
WHO IS OUR NEW PRIEST?
QUIEN ES NUESTRO NUEVO SACERDOTE?
As I announced in the last Sunday's issue of the
bulletin, I'll cede this space to Fr. Rafael to introduce
himself to us. This is what he wrote:
Como anuncie en el Boletín del domingo
pasado, le he concedido este espacio al Padre Rafael
para que pueda presentarse a la comunidad. Esto es
lo que el escribió:
“I would like to introduce myself. My full name
is Rafael Antonio de Avila y Romero according to my
birth certificate, but when I came to the United States
and went to the Social Security Office my name was
shorten to Rafael de Avila because it was too long to
fit in the computer.
I was born in Aguascalientes, Ags. Mexico. My
parents' are Aurelio de Avila y Enriquez and Bertha
Romero Marquez. I am the third among four siblings:
Virginia, Aurelio, Rafael and Daniel. My father died
when I was 12 years old and my mother passed away
20 days before my priestly ordination in 1974. My
youngest brother, Daniel, died five years ago.
At the age of 12 I went to the Minor seminary
of Misioneros de Guadalupe located in Lopez Cotilla
at the outskirts of Guadalajara. After five years in
Guadalajara I went to Mexico City to have a new experience in the Major Seminary of Misioneros de Guadalupe. I wanted to be a missionary. Since the very
first day the seminary formation was awesome. It was
a different life style of which I have no complaints. I
had to learn different languages because I wanted to
preach the Gospel to people of different cultures.
I studied in Rome for four years and got my degree in Spirituality. I was ordained in 1974. For several years I taught in the Major Seminary. From 1980
to 1982 I worked in Jerusalem as Rector of the Propagation of Faith College. From 1982 to 1985 I was
Dean at a private University in Mexico City, Universidad Intercontinental. From 1985 to 1993 I worked in
Hong Kong. I spent the first two years just learning
the language, Cantonese.
I am glad to be at San Bruno. Thanks to all of
you for welcoming me into your spiritual lives.
In the near future I will share more about my priestly
life…”
“Tengo el gusto de presentarme. Mi nombre
completo es Rafael Antonio de Avila y Romero
según el certificado de bautismo, pero cuando llegue
a los Estados Unidos y fui a la oficina de Seguro
Social lo acortaron porque dijeron que mi nombre
era muy largo para caber en la computadora.
Nací en Aguascalientes, Ags. México. EI
nombre de mis papas Aurelio de Avila y Enríquez y
Bertha Romero Márquez. Soy el tercero de cuatro
hermanos, Virginia, Aurelio, Rafael y Daniel. Mi
padre murió cuando yo tenía 9 años de edad, y mi
mama paso a Dios 20 días antes de mi ordenación
sacerdotal en 1974. Mi hermano el mas joven murió
hace 5 años.
A la edad de 12 años entre al seminario menor
de los Misioneros de Guadalupe localizado en López
Cotilla a las afueras de Guadalajara. Después de 5
años pase al Seminario mayor de los Misioneros de
Guadalupe en la Ciudad de México para continuar
con mi formación. Yo quería ser misionero. Desde el
primer día la formación del seminario fue increíble.
Era un estilo diferente de vida del cual no tengo
ninguna queja. Yo tuve que aprender lenguas porque
quería predicar el Evangelio a gente de cultura y
lengua diferentes a la mía.
Yo estudie en Roma durante 4 años para tomar
mi licenciatura en Espiritualidad. Fui ordenado como
sacerdote en 1974. Por varios años enseñe en el
Seminario mayor. De 1980 a 1982 fui Rector del
Colegio de Propaganda Fide en Jerusalén. De 1982 a
1985 fui Secretario General de la Universidad
Intercontinental en la ciudad de México. A partir de
1985 hasta 1993 trabaje en Hong Kong. Los dos
primeros años los dedique al aprendizaje de la lengua
cantonesa.
Estoy contento de estar en San Bruno. Gracias por
dejarme entrar en su vida espiritual.
Más adelante seguiré con lo que me resta de
contarles…”

Perhaps for that reason, to her name has been
attached a prayer that, Our Lord promised to release 1,000 souls
from purgatory each time it was said. The prayer was extended
to include living sinners as well.
Eternal Father, I offer Thee the most Precious Blood of Thy
Divine Son, Jesus Christ, in union with the Masses said
throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory,
for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the Universal Church, for
those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
