Page 2 En las recientes semanas me han preguntado varias veces acerca del Ministerio de música, y lo que hacemos en el Ministerio. Por lo que estoy usando este artículo presente para darle un panorama más amplio de nuestro programa de música aquí en San Bartolomé. La fe católica siempre ha usado la música en su rito, y documentos de la jerarquía de la iglesia van hasta el 77AD a ese respecto. Música siempre ha sido fuente de discusión y también cierta controversia. Sin embargo, siempre ha sido dinámica y una fuente de inspiración a personas que vienen para la adoración y oración. Es igual aquí en nuestra parroquia. Puesto que la mayoría de la gente asiste a una Misa específica el fin de semana podría no saber lo que pasa en las otras Misas. Es lo que quiero aclarar para usted. El Ministerio de música es parte integral de cada liturgia del fin de semana que tenemos. Además el Ministerio de música participa en bodas, funerales, la escuela, Misas de educación religiosa, Reconciliación, 1ª Comunión, Confirmación y servicios de oración durante todo el año. Básicamente cuando nuestra comunidad se reúnen en Misa, tendemos a usar la música en las celebraciones. ¿Así que quién realmente hace el trabajo detrás de todo esto? El Ministerio de música aquí en San Bartolomé es representado por el coro juvenil, el coro en español y el coro en inglés. En la actualidad, utilizamos un pequeño pero dedicado grupo de cantores para ayudar en la dirección de la asamblea musical. Sólo una breve descripción sobre cada grupo podría ayudar. El coro juvenil de niños es un grupo de estudiantes de la escuela parroquial y del programa de educación religiosa desde el 2 º hasta 8 º grado que ensayan semanalmente en las tardes de los miércoles de 4-5:30pm en la iglesia y cantan dos veces al mes durante la Misa de las 11:00am. Además ayudan con algunos de los sacramentos, liturgias de la escuela y conciertos. En este momento tenemos 30 registrados. El coro en español está empezando a crecer de nuevo, y tenemos 10 adultos que ensayan cada miércoles por la noche de 7:00-8:30pm en la iglesia. Puesto que ahora tenemos dos liturgias en español cada semana, hemos dividido este grupo para asistir en las Misas de las 7:00am y 1:00pm. También, participan en conciertos y ayudan con sacramentos y eventos especiales como la Novena de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe cada año. El coro de adultos ensaya semanalmente en las noches de jueves de 7:30-9:30pm en la iglesia. Cantan todos los domingos en la Misa de las 9:00am y al igual que los otros coros, participan en varios eventos. Nuestros cantores han sido una fuerte base para nosotros durante muchos años. Cantan solos cuando no tenemos un grupo presente y ayudan a la asamblea con canciones. Por el momento, todos son parte del coro en inglés pero esto cambiará cuando crezcan nuestros otros grupos. En cuanto a los instrumentos que tenemos en la parroquia, aquí va. Tenemos un Case Nelson, Apartment Grand piano (5 pies) que tiene como 50 años de edad y se ha usado un montón durante los años. Recientemente he estado afinación y reparando algunas cosas mucho más que cuando empecé aquí. Es tiempo de pensar de un nuevo instrumento más apropiado para nuestra asamblea. El órgano en el desván (casi nunca se utiliza) es Kilgen antiguo del año 1938 de 36 tubos de órgano. Cuando llegué aquí en San Bartolomé ya estaba empezando a mostrar su edad y sonido de calidad, requiriendo mucho trabajo interno. Lo tengo casi a uso limitado, pero toma mucho tiempo para poner todo en orden. Se requiere dos personas para afinar el órgano y cerca de 2 días de 8 horas para afinar correctamente, cuando todo lo demás funciona. Llegaremos allí ya que tengo el tiempo para trabajar en él. Hay un piano donado en el sótano de la iglesia para las funciones que tenemos ahora. En cuanto al cuidado de los instrumentos aquí en la parroquia, he tomado esa responsabilidad personalmente para ahorrar algo de dinero. Afinar el piano, por lo menos 6 veces al año estos dos últimos años y algunas reparaciones también. El órgano es algo más complejo con lo que ahora llamaríamos tecnología antigua. He pasado varios meses renovando algunas de las conexiones eléctricas a la consola (teclado) del órgano y ahora tengo que pasar mucho tiempo en el interior 'las tripas” del órgano en reparaciones y afinación. Mi trabajo aquí en el San Bartolomé es dirigir a todos estos coros en los ensayos tanto en el fin de semana y las 5 Misas. Hace dos años tomé el cargo en las Misas en español. Son maravillosos y son un gran activo para la música de nuestra parroquia. Además, estamos trabajando para desarrollar un coro de jóvenes sólidos y útiles y un grupo adicional. Sólo quería que sepa quiénes somos y cómo estamos trabajando en nuestra responsabilidad de nuestra parroquia. Esto no es una herramienta para reclutar... pero si está interesado… Chuck Kessell, Music Director

Page 3 The past few weeks I’ve been asked several times about Music Ministry, and what goes on in the Ministry. So I am using the article here to give you a broader picture of music here at St. Bart’s. The Catholic Faith has always used music in its worship, and documents from the Church hierarchy go as far back as 77AD in that regard. Music has always been a source of both argument and some controversy as well. It has however always been dynamic and a source of prayer and inspiration to people who come for worship. It is no different here in our parish. Since most folks come to one specific Mass on the weekend they might not know what goes on at the other Masses. That is what I want to clarify for you. The Music Ministry is integral to every single weekend liturgy we have. Additionally Music Ministry is involved in weddings, funerals, School/RE Masses, 1st Reconciliation, 1st Communion, Confirmation, and prayer services throughout the year. Basically when our community gather en masse, we tend to use music in our celebrations. So who actually does the work behind this? Music Ministry here at Bart’s is represented by the Children’s Choir, the Spanish Coro and English Choir at present, we use a small but dedicated cadre of Cantors to assist in leading the assembly in sung prayer. Just a brief description about each group might help. The Children’s Choir is a group of both Parish School and Religious Ed kids from 2nd through 8th grade who rehearse weekly on Wednesday afternoons from 4-5:30PM in church, and they sing twice monthly at the 11:00AM Mass. Additionally they help with some of the sacraments, and school liturgies, and Concertize with us. At the moment we have 30 registered. The Spanish Coro is starting to grow again, and we have 10 adults who rehearse every Wednesday evening from 7:00-8:30PM in Church. Since we now have two Liturgies in Spanish every week, we split this group up to assist at both the 7:00AM and the 1:00PM Masses. They too, concertize and help us with sacraments and special events like the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe every year. The Adult Choir rehearses every week on Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:30PM in Church. They sing every Sunday at the 9:00AM Mass, and have many of the same ‘extras’ going on as do the other groups. Our Cantors have been a strong base line for us for many years. They stand alone when we do not have a group present, and help the assembly with songs. They are all attached to the English choir at the moment but we will be changing that as we grow our other groups. In terms of what we have instrumentally at the parish, here goes. We have a Case Nelson, Apartment Grand piano (5ft) which is probably 50 years old, and has taken a lot of use for a ‘home’ piano over the years. Recently I have been tuning and repairing things a lot more than when I began here. It is time to think of a new instrument more suited to our assembly. The Organ in the loft (hardly ever used at the moment) is a 1938 vintage Kilgen 36 ranks pipe organ. When I landed here at Bart’s it was already starting to show both its age and sound quality and requiring a lot of internal work. I almost have it back to limited playing use, but it continues to take a lot of time to get it in order. Just to tune the organ takes two people and about 2 days of 8 hours to tune it properly, when everything else is working. We will get there as I have the time to work on it. There is a donated piano in the basement of church for the several functions we have there now as well. In terms of taking care of the actual instruments here at the parish, I have taken that responsibility on personally to save us some money. I tune the piano, at least 6 times a year these past two years, and have done some repair work on it as well. The Pipe organ is rather more complex using what we would now call ancient technology. I have spent several months renewing some of the electrical wiring to the console (keyboards) of the organ, and now actually have to spend quite a lot of time in side the ‘guts of the organ in repairs and eventually tuning. My job here at Bart’s is to direct all of these choirs both at rehearsals, and at the 5 weekend Masses. Two years ago now, I took on the Spanish Masses as well. They are wonderful and are a great asset to our parish music. Additionally, we are working towards a solid and useful Teen Choir, and one other group that I am working on sotto voce (quietly) at the moment. Just wanted you to know what we’re up to and how we are working at stewardship of our parish. This is not meant as a recruiting tool……but if you’re interested…… Chuck Kessell, Music Director

Page 4 Dear Father Ricardo, Father Thomas, Deacon Faustino, and all of you, the members of St. Bart’s,

Estimado Padre Ricardo, Padre Thomas, Diácono Faustino y todos los feligreses de San Bartolomé,

Words can not express enough my heartfelt gratitude to you. I was overwhelmed with joy and blessing to see your support, love and generosity during my time of internship here. I have learned a lot by observing you, being with you and listening to you about pastoral ministries which I believed that I was not taught in the Seminary. Your guidance, advice and faith-filled lives have already changed me to more down to the earth practice of our faith, Catholic teachings and the life of the diocesan priests.

Palabras no pueden expresar mi inmensa gratitud. Me sentí lleno de alegría y bendición al ver su apoyo, amor y generosidad durante mi período de prácticas aquí. He aprendido mucho observándolos, estando con ustedes y escuchando acerca de ministerios pastorales que creía que no me enseñaron en el seminario. Su orientación, asesoramiento y sus vidas llenas de fe ya han cambiado mi práctica de nuestra fe, las enseñanzas católicas y la vida de los sacerdotes diocesanos.

Personally, thank you Fr. Ricardo Castillo as well as Fr. Thomas Lamping, and Deacon Faustino Santiago who have treated me with respect, taught me by their heart, and showed me by their ministries in the parish life. I do appreciate the time Fr. Ric spent reviewing my internship goals and ministries every Friday with openness, sincerity and helpfulness. Thank you all parish staff, school staff and teachers, all volunteers and members of the different groups (English and Hispanic ministries), school students and Religious Ed students whom I have been a part of and worked with. Your faith-filled lives have taught me a lot about my future ministries, not only about myself but God and God’s people. Thank you all for being here every weekend for your presence makes our ministries possible and precious for we are the members of Christ’s body.

Personalmente, gracias al Padre Ricardo Castillo así como el Padre Thomas Lamping y el Diácono Faustino Santiago que me han tratado con respeto, me enseñaron de su corazón y me mostraron sus ministerios en la vida de la parroquia. Aprecio el tiempo que el Padre Ric dio para revisar mis metas prácticas y ministerios todos los viernes con franqueza, sinceridad y amabilidad. Gracias a todo el personal de la parroquia, el personal de la escuela y maestros, todos los voluntarios y miembros de los diferentes grupos y ministerios, estudiantes de la escuela y los estudiantes de educación religiosa con los que he trabajado. Sus vidas llenas de fe me han enseñado mucho sobre mi futuro ministerio, no sólo sobre mí sino personas de Dios y de Dios. Gracias a todos por estar aquí cada fin de semana, ya que su presencia hace posible nuestros ministerios y preciosos para nosotros que somos los miembros del Cuerpo de Cristo.

Especially, I am writing this letter to express my sincere gratitude for the contributions to my away party last Monday, May 9, with your help it was a great success. It was the happy ending to the completion of my internship. However, without you and your charity, the party would not have happened. Your presence, cards, gifts and food contributions tell me of your love and support, not only to me but to God and the parish life. Thank you very much and may God bless all of you abundantly. A special thanks to Broasted Chicken Royale for their generous contribution of food for my farewell party, even though you don’t know me. However, your love and generosity to vocation, to God’s people and particularly your support to St. Bartholomew has brought you to me. The food was great and delicious and that made the farewell party filled with great joy physically and spiritually. May God bless you and your generosity. Thank you very much and God bless. Sincerely yours, Joseph Tran, Seminarian My address: Joseph Tran 1000 E Maple Ave, Mundelein, IL – 60060 Phone: 860 327 3419

Especialmente, estoy escribiendo esta carta para expresar mi sincero agradecimiento por las contribuciones a mi fiesta de despedida el pasado lunes, 9 de mayo, que con su ayuda fue un gran éxito. Fue un final feliz para la realización de mi pasantía. Sin embargo, sin usted y su caridad, el esto no hubiera sucedido. Sus contribuciones de presencia, tarjetas, regalos y comida demuestran su amor y apoyo, no sólo a mí sino a Dios y la vida parroquial. Muchas gracias y que Dios los bendiga a todos ustedes abundantemente. Un agradecimiento especial a Broasted Chicken Royale por su generosa contribución de alimentos para mi despedida, aunque no me conocen. Sin embargo, su amor y generosidad a la vocación, el pueblo de Dios y sobre todo su apoyo a San Bartolomé lo han traído a mí. La comida estuvo deliciosa y llenó la fiesta de gran alegría física y espiritualmente. Que Dios los bendiga por su generosidad. Muchas gracias y que Dios los bendiga.
