Liturgy of the Word

Reading Isaiah 61:1–3abcd

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, To announce a year of favor from the Lord and a day of vindication by our God, to comfort all who mourn; To place on those who mourn in Zion a diadem instead of ashes, To give them oil of gladness in place of mourning, a glorious mantle instead of a listless spirit.

El espíritu del Señor está sobre mí, porque me ha ungido y me ha enviado para anunciar la buena nueva a los pobres, a curar a los de corazón quebrantado, a proclamar el perdón a los cautivos, y la libertad a los prisioneros; a pregonar el año de gracia del Señor, el día de la venganza de nuestro Dios. El Señor me ha enviado a consolar a los afligidos, los afligidos de Sión, a cambiar su ceniza en diadema, sus lágrimas en aceite perfumado de alegría y su abatimiento, en cánticos.

Reading Acts 10:37– 43Peter proceeded to speak and said: “You know what has happened all over Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the Devil, for God was with him. We are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible, not to all the people, but to us, the witnesses chosen by God in advance, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God as judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness, that everyone who believes in him will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”

Gospel John 21:15–17En aquel tiempo, le preguntó Jesús a Simón Pedro: “Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me amas más que éstos?” El le contestó: “Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero”. Jesús le dijo: “Apacienta mis corderos”. Por segunda vez le preguntó: “Simón, hijo de Juan ¿me amas?” El le respondió: “Sí, Señor, tú sabes que te quiero”. Jesús le dijo: “Pastorea mis ovejas”. Por tercera vez le preguntó: “Simón, hijo de Juan, ¿me quieres?” Pedro se entristeció de que Jesús le hubiera pregun-tado por tercera vez si lo quería, y le contestó: “Señor, tú lo sabes todo; tú bien sabes que te quiero”. Jesús le dijo: “Apacienta mis ovejas”.

upon the Bishop-elect to provide for the needs of the Church.

Laying On of HandsIn silence, Cardinal DiNardo imposes hands on the head of the Bishop-elect,

invoking the power of the Holy Spirit, the same Spirit given by Christ to the Apostles.

The Co-consecrators and all the other Bishops also impose hands, signifying that the ordination of a bishop is a collegial act of the Order of Bishops,

incorporating a new member into their community, for the service of the Church.

Come, Spirit Blest Ronald Krisman

Prayer of OrdinationWhile the Book of Gospels is held above the head of the Bishop-elect,

the Prayer of Ordination is said. This ancient prayer invokes the power of the Holy Spirit upon the Bishop-elect and recalls the importance and role of the Bishop within the Church.

God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,Father of mercies and God of all consolation,who dwell on high and look upon the lowly,who know all things before they come to be;and who laid down observances in your Churchthrough the word of your grace;who from the beginning,foreordained a nation of the just, born of Abraham;who established rulers and priestsand did not leave your sanctuary without ministers,and who, from the foundation of the world,were pleased to be glorified in those you have chosen:

All the ordaining Bishops join in the following part of the prayer, with hands joined:

Pour out now upon this chosen onethat power which is from you, the governing Spirit,whom you gave to your beloved Son, Jesus Christ,the Spirit whom he bestowed upon the holy Apostles,who established the Church in each place as your sanctuaryfor the glory and unceasing praise of your name.

Then Cardinal DiNardo continues alone:

Grant, O Father, knower of all hearts,that this your servant, whom you have chosen for the office of Bishop,may shepherd your holy flock.Serving you night and day,may he fulfill before you without reproachthe ministry of the High Priesthood,so that, always gaining your favor,he may offer up the gifts of your holy Church.

Grant that, by the power of the Spirit of the High Priesthood, he may have the power to forgive sins according to your command, assign offices according to your decree, and loose every bond according to the power given by you to the Apostles.

May he please you by his meekness and purity of heart, presenting a fragrant offering to you through your Son Jesus Christ, through whom glory and power and honor are yourswith the Holy Spirit in the holy Church,now and for ever and ever.

All: Amen.

Please be seated

Anointing of the Bishop’s HeadThe head of the new Bishop is anointed, signifying the full share in the priesthood of Christ

which he has received through the Laying on of Hands and the Prayer of Ordination.

Presentation of the Book of the GospelsCardinal DiNardo then hands the Book of the Gospels to Bishop Dell’Oro, saying:

Receive the Gospel and preach the word of God with all patience and sound teaching.

Investiture with Ring, Miter, and Pastoral StaffCardinal DiNardo places the ring on the ring finger of Bishop Dell’Oro’s right hand, and says:

Receive this ring, the seal of fidelity: adorned with undefiled faith, preserve unblemished the bride of God, the holy Church.

Then Cardinal DiNardo places the miter on the head of Bishop Dell’Oro, and says:

Receive the miter, and may the splendor of holiness shine forth in you, so that when the chief shepherd appears you may deserve to receive from him an unfading crown of glory.

Lastly, Cardinal DiNardo gives the pastoral staff to the Bishop, and says:

Receive the crosier, the sign of your pastoral office: and keep watch over the whole flock in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as Bishop to govern the Church of God.

Seating of the Bishop and Kiss of PeaceAll stand while the newly ordained Bishop is escorted to his seat.

He then receives the Kiss of Peace from Cardinal DiNardo and from all the other Bishops.

Esci dalla tua terra Esci dalla tua terra e va dove ti mostrerò. Esci dalla tua terra e va dove ti mostrerò.

Abramo non partire, non andare, non lasciare la tua terra, cosa speri di trovar? La strada è sempre quella, ma la gente è differente, ti è nemica, dove speri di arrivar? Quello che lasci tu lo conosci, il tuo Signore cosa ti dà? “Un popolo, la terra e la promessa”, parola di Jahvè!

La rete sulla spiaggia abbandonata l’han lasciata i pescatori, son par-titi con Gesù. La folla che osannava se n’è andata, ma il silenzio una domanda sembra ai dodici portar: Quello che lasci tu lo conosci, il tuo Signore cosa ti dà? “Il centuplo quaggiù e l’eternità”, parola di Gesù!

Partire non è tutto certamente c’è chi parte e non dà niente, cerca solo libertà. Partire con la fede nel Signore con l’amore aperto a tutti può cambiar l’umanità. Quello che lasci tu lo conosci, quello che porti vale di più. “Andate e predicate il mio Vangelo”, parola di Gesù!

Get out of your land and go where I will show you. Get out of your land and go where I will show you.

Abraham don’t leave, don’t go, don’t leave your land, what do you hope to find? The road is always the same, but people are different, they are your enemy, where do you hope to go? What you leave you know, what does your Lord give you? “A people, the land and the promise,” the word of Yahweh!

The fishermen left the net on the abandoned beach, they left with Jesus. The crowd that hailed is gone, but silence seems to bring a question to the twelve: What you leave you know, what does your Lord give you? “The hundredfold down here is eternity,” the word of Jesus.

Leaving is not everything, certainly there are those who leave and give nothing, just seek freedom. Leaving with faith in the Lord with love open to all can change humanity. What you leave you know, what you bring is worth more. “Go and preach my Gospel,” the word of Jesus.

Concluding RitesHymn of Thanksgiving

The choir sings the great Hymn of Thanksgiving as the newly ordained Bishop is led through the cathedral, offering his blessing.

Te Deum John RutterWe praise you, O God, we acknowledge you to be the Lord. All the earth worships you, the Father everlasting. To you all Angels cry aloud, the Heavens, and all the Powers therein. To you Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry:Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of your glory.

The glorious company of the Apostles praise you. The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise you. The noble army of Martyrs praise you. The holy Church throughout all the world acknowledges you; The Father, of an infinite Majesty. Your honorable, true, and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter. You are the King of Glory, O Christ. You are the everlasting Son of the Father.

When you took upon yourself to deliver man, you did not abhor the Virgin’s womb. When you had overcome the sharpness of death, you did open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers. You sit at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father. We believe that you shall come to be our Judge. We therefore pray you, help your servants, whom you have redeemed with your precious Blood. Make them to be numbered with your Saints, in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save your people, and bless your heritage. Govern them, and lift them up for ever. Day by day we magnify you; And we worship your Name ever, world without end. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin. O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us. O Lord, let your mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in you. O Lord, in you have I trusted, let me never be confounded.

A Brief Biography of the Most Reverend Italo Dell’Oro, C.R.S.

Italo Dell’Oro, a member of the Congregation of Somascan Fathers, is the eighth Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

He was born June 20, 1953, in Malgrate, near Lecco, Italy, to (the late) Giuseppe and Silene. Grow-ing up in Valmadrera, Italy, he was an avid rock climber and mountaineer during his teen years in the countryside of Lake Como, Italy. Somasca, the place where St. Jerome Emiliani organized the first community of followers of the Somascan Order, is a located approximately six miles from Bishop Dell’Oro’s hometown.

He entered the Somascan Novitiate and Theologate in Rome, where he made his first religious pro-fession in 1978 and his final profession in 1981. He earned a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1982 from the Pontifical University of Sant’Anselmo in Rome and was ordained a priest in Como, Italy on September 11, 1982. In 1988, he received a Master of Arts degree in counseling and psychotherapy from Catholic-run Rivier University in Nashua, New Hampshire.

Bishop Dell’Oro came to the United States in 1985 to work in New Hampshire at a school run by his religious congregation. In 1992, he was transferred to the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, where his initial assignment was as pastor of Assumption Church in Houston.

In 2001, he served as director of vocations for the Somascan Fathers in Houston before being named the congregation’s formation director in 2014. From 2005 to 2012, he also worked as director of ministry to priests for the local Archdiocese.

In 2015, he was named Vicar for Clergy and director of the Secretariat for Clergy Formation and Chaplaincy Services. Bishop Dell’Oro was named vicar general in 2021. He speaks English, Italian and Spanish.

Bishop Dell’Oro’s Coat of Arms

BlazonArgent above a terrace in base wavy Azure and Or, a mountain Vert and Argent, before it a cross Or bendwise sinister inverted, and on a chief embattled Gules a crown Or between two rosa mystica Argent, Or, Gules and Azure.

SignificanceBishop Dell’Oro envisioned his personal coat of arms as a statement of faith and heritage, both of which have their beginnings in his hometown of Valmadrera. Situated along Lake Como, Valmadrera is nestled at the foot of the Grigna Mountains, part of the Bergamo Alps, near the province of Lecco, in the region of Lombardy, northern Italy. The Grignetta, the queen mountain of Lecco, is the southern peak of the Grigna massif and is the dominant element of this coat of arms. It is the Grignetta and the waters of Lake Como that have nurtured and fortified the life and spirituality of the Dell‘Oro family for generations.

In the teachings of the mystics and in Sacred Scripture, the mountain represents the point of contact between heaven and earth. This is visually portrayed by the use of the colors silver (white), one of the two Heavenly Attributes, and green, a color associated with faith, loyalty, and eternity (“ever green”).


page 30 inside

7” trim edge FOLD

For a young Italo Dell’Oro, an avid rock climber and mountaineer, the Grignetta was an early meet-ing place between heaven and earth. The mountain is also a symbol of the steadfast love of God that nurtured Italo in his formative years and continues to sustain him in his priestly ministry. Similarly, it is a reminder of the ministry of Peter (Petros), the rock (petra) upon which Jesus built his Church and to whom Jesus entrusted the keys to the kingdom and the governance of the Church (cf. Matthew 16:16–19). Born and raised in the shadow of the Grignetta, the symbol of the mountain is central to the personal life of Bishop Dell’Oro, and to his faith and his vocation to the Church.

Surmounting the Grignetta is a gold “Cross of Calvary.” Gold is the other symbolic Heavenly Attribute and is the most precious of metals. The diagonal position suggests that the cross is being carried by Jesus on his way to Calvary. This is the emblem of the “Company of the Servants of the Poor” or the Somascan Fathers, founded by Saint Jerome Emiliani, whose greatest desire it was to follow the way of the Crucified and to imitate the Christ. Bishop Dell’Oro is a professed member of this community. Like Saint Jerome, he endeavors to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, embracing those who are suffering, showing mercy to those who are orphaned or abandoned.

At the top of the shield (chief ) is an embattled red band. Red signifies the region of Lombardy and the embattlement refers to the perimeter wall of the Castello dell’Innominato (Castle of the Unnamed), which dates back to the Carolingian period. In the sixteenth century, the Somascan founder Jerome Emiliani converted part of this fortress into a home for orphans.

In the center of the red band is a jeweled gold crown of Lombardy. It is a symbol for the crowned 15th-century painting of the Madonna del Latte (Nursing Madonna), a much-venerated image housed in the Shrine of San Martino in Valmadrera, known well to the Dell’Oro family. The Lombardy crown is flanked by two rosa mystica. The “mystical rose,” the perfect flower of God’s spiritual creation, rep-resents Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception. These two roses represent the patroness of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and of the cathedral in Galveston. It is worth noting that the thorns or leaves of the rose form a five-point star, similar to the star of Texas.

At the base of the shield, below the mountain is the wavy blue water of Lake Como, the source of life in the mountains. It also represents the waters of baptism, the source of life in the Church. Atop the blue water rippling from the foot of the cross and of the mountain is a current of gold. Like the play on the name of Peter/petra in the Gospel of Matthew, this ripple is a play on the family name “Dell’Oro,” which, in Italian means “of the gold.” This ripple represents the life of Bishop Dell’Oro that began with the saving act of Christ on the cross and the waters of baptism. During its course, it flows from his home and family, to his life with the Somascan Fathers, and crossing the waters of the Atlantic to the United States, and coming to the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston.

Above the shield is the episcopal cross of a bishop; it has one transverse arm. Bishop Dell’Oro chose a plain gold cross bottonnée, which has three lobes, like the trefoil leaf, at the end of each arm. This is in deference to a gold cross given by Pope Benedict XVI to Cardinal DiNardo who donated it then to Father Dell’Oro.

Surmounting the entire achievement is the galero or “hat of the pilgrim.” It is an emblem used in heraldry for prelates and priests of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. The distinction of rank is defined by the color of the hat and the number of tassels. The galero of a bishop is shown in green with twelve tassels or fiocchi pendent, six suspended on each side.

The motto of Bishop Italo Dell’Oro is taken from Psalm 42:8, “Abyssus Abyssum Vocat” or “Deep calls to Deep.” The psalmist, who may have lived near the Jordan River, is speaking of the strength and depth of one wave “calling” to another; as if one part of the “deep” is speaking to the other. This is a conversation of faith and fidelity that is known to those who have lived near “deep water” since birth.

This explanation was contributed by Geraldine M. Rohling, PhD, MAEd, who was the original designer of Bishop Dell’Oro’s Coat of Arms.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I thank God for each of you on the occasion of my ordination as the eighth Auxiliary Bishop of Galveston-Houston. I am humbled and grateful that His Holiness, Pope Francis chose me for this role.

I also am immensely grateful to Cardinal DiNardo. He has been a mentor in my rela-tionship with the priests; I have observed his clarity of mind and his pastoral approach to our brother priests. Archbishop Fiorenza involved me in ministry to my brother priests in 2005. I love the priesthood, and I joyfully accepted that role in our diocese. I knew that I had his support, and I always felt like he was my mentor.

Bishop Sheltz, with his integrity and great pastoral sense, his feet on the ground, and example of humble service has been a great companion in my ministry as vicar for clergy.

I owe who I am to my family—my deceased parents Giuseppe and Silene and my two sisters, Michela and Edy, and to all my friends back home …and my mountains as well. Also, I am grateful for my Somascan confreres, with whom I spend my life—in prayer, meals, arguments, and a glass of wine that settles any discussion.

It has been a beautiful experience for me as an international priest, as a member of a religious community, to see the growing diversity in the population of Galveston-Houston. It is truly remarkable to be in the most diverse city in the United States and see a similar diversity within the Catholic population and the priests. Since I started in Houston in 1992 as pastor of Assumption Church, I witnessed the profound growth of the faithful. I feel fortunate and blessed to be ministering in such a wonderful, evolving reality.

While serving at the Chancery the past six years, I have developed a great appreciation for the many people who dedicate themselves to the good of the Church. I anticipate getting to know even more about the Archdiocese as I visit parishes to preside at Confirmations and participate in other commitments as an Auxiliary Bishop for this Archdiocese.

I certainly intend to continue to learn from many, but I also look forward to continuing to serve this Archdiocese—my Archdiocese—to the best of my capacities, and invoke the Holy Spirit to lead my heart, my mind and my whole being. I am grateful to all who welcomed me when I was a young priest from Italy and all who now welcome me as auxiliary bishop. I am proud to call Houston my home.

St. Jerome Emiliani prayed that the church may return to the holiness of the time of the apostles. I ask that through his intercession and your prayers, I may continue to be an instrument towards achieving such holiness.

May God continue to send his blessings upon all of you and upon our Church of Galveston-Houston. Be assured of my prayers for each of you as I remain

Yours in Christ,

The Most Reverend Italo Dell’Oro, C.R.S. Auxiliary Bishop of Galveston-Houston

In accord with the usage handed down from antiquity, the principal ordaining Bishop should join to himself at least two other Bishops in celebrating the Ordination. In fact, it is highly appropriate that all the Bishops present have a part in the raising of the Bishop-elect to the ministry of the High Priesthood. …In this way, at the Ordination of every Bishop the collegial nature of the Order of the Episcopate is signified.
