Welcome Fr. Silverio!
Let us give a welcome our new Pastor, Father Silverio Espenilla, Jr. He comes to us from Most Precious Blood in Chula Vista. Let us pray together as a community for Father Silverio as he starts his new ministry with us at St. Rita’s.
Lord God, most holy,
we approach you in gratitude for your holy ordained priesthood.
You have called these men to be set apart
and to shepherd your people,
as you shepherd your entire church.
We pray for them in their daily work.
Grant to them an increase in spiritual gifts and grace,
so they may be prepared for the tasks at hand.
Lead them not into temptation
and protect them from the grasp of the evil one.
It is through the sacraments they confer
that we encounter the divine in a real and profound way.
May your church never lose sight of these,
your special sons, and may we, the body of Christ,
never fail to cherish the gift of their lives,
which they have freely given to you and your holy church.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son. Amen.

¡Bienvenidos, Fr. Silverio!
Demos la bienvenida a nuestro nuevo pastor, el Padre Silverio Espenilla. Él viene a nosotros de la iglesia, La precioso Sangre, en Chula Vista. Oremos juntos como comunidad por el Padre Silverio mientras comienza su nuevo ministerio con nosotros en Santa Rita.
Señor Dios, santísimo
Nos acercamos a ti en agradecimiento por tu santo sacerdocio ordenado.
Has llamado a estos hombres para que sean apartados y para guiar a tu
pueblo, mientras pastoreas toda tu iglesia.
Oramos por ellos en su trabajo diario.
Concédeles un aumento en los dones espirituales y la gracia,
para que puedan estar preparados para las tareas en cuestión.
No los dejes caer en la tentación.
y protégelos del alcance del maligno.
Es a través de los sacramentos que confieren
que nos encontramos con lo divino de una manera real y profunda.
Que tu iglesia nunca pierda de vista estos,
sus hijos especiales, y que nosotros, el cuerpo de Cristo,
nunca dejen de apreciar el regalo de sus vidas,
que te han dado libremente a ti y a tu santa iglesia.
Te lo pedimos en el nombre de Jesús, tu Hijo. Amén.
