Dave Mensaje de Despedida de P. David Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo, Before I pack up and move on to my new assignment on the banks of the Mississippi, I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to my associate priests, staff members and all members of the community, for these past six years shared together at St. Francis Chapel. Antes de embalar y de mudarme a orrillas del Rio Mississippi para comenzar mi nueva tarea pastoral, quiero agradecer de corazón a mis sacerdotes asociados, a los miembros del equipo pastoral, y a todos los miembros de la comunidad, por estos últimos seis aňos compartidos juntos en Capilla St. Francis. After spending nearly all of my first 27 years of Oblate life in Italy and Argentina, St. Francis Chapel was my first priestly assignment in the United States. Here it has been my special privilege to enjoy a particularly rich experience of our Lanterian apostolate, with the celebration of the Liturgies, Eucharistic adoration, and the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and also with the Spiritual Exercises, and the Bible study groups in Spanish, Italian and English. Despite the fact that I already miss you dearly, I am going to St. Mary’s parish community in Alton, Illinois with a joyful spirit of faith, to embrace whatever the Lord will have awaiting me there at this time. In this special jubilee year for St. Francis Chapel, and in this universal Year of Faith, we continue to offer our special prayers for the perseverance of our Oblate seminarians. We pray also in appreciation for Fr. John Wykes, OMV, as he generously assumes again the directorship of the Chapel. Let us likewise mutually remember one another in our prayers at the altar, asking the Lord’s continued abundant blessings and peace! Yours always, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Fr. David Yankauskas OMV Después de haber pasado practicamente todos mis primeros 27 aňos de vida oblata en Italia y en Argentina, mi primera tarea de apostolado sacerdotal en los Estados Unidos fué en Capilla St. Francis. Aquí ha sido mi privilegio especial, de haber disfrutado de una experiencia tan rica de nuestro apostolado lanteriano, con la celebración de las Litúrgias, la adoración eucarística y del Sacramento de la Reconciliación, juntamente con los Ejercicios Espirituales, y los grupos de studio bíblico en espaňol, en italiano y en inglés. A pesar de que ya les estoy extraňando, yo me voy a la comunidad parroquial de Santa María en Alton, Illinois con espíritu de fé, para abrazar allí la tarea que el Seňor me tendrá preparada. En este aňo especial jubilar de la Capilla St. Francis, y en este aňo universal de la Fé, continuamos ofrececiendo nuestras oraciones especiales por la perseverancia de nuestros seminaristas oblatos. Demos las gracias tambien al P. John Wykes, OMV, mientras que assume con generosidad la tarea de dirigir la Capilla nuevamente. Recordémosnos, mutuamente, además, en nuestras oraciónes al altar, pidiéndole al Seňor que nos colme a todos con sus abundantes bendiciones y con su paz! Unidos siempre, en los Corazones de Jesús y María, Fr.
