Pastor’s Letter

April 8, 2018 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I wanted to share with you that my time as pastor of St. Joseph will come to a conclusion on July 3. Archbishop Coakley has asked me to serve as chaplain at Conception Seminary College in Missouri, where I will help to train and form future priests for our Archdiocese and those of other states. Though it is a great honor to be entrusted with this sacred duty, my heart grieves at the thought of leaving you - especially in the midst of the mission we have undertaken and all we have already achieved as a parish family. Please know how much you all mean to me and the deep gratitude I feel for the five years that I have had the privilege of serving as your pastor. As a priest I am called to discern where God is calling me. Although leaving you will be painful, I answer this next call with full trust in His will. Father Thomas will stay on as associate pastor and Archbishop Coakley will soon announce a new pastor for St. Joseph. Transitions often create anxiety, which is part of our human condition. Please join me in drawing upon the same wisdom that the Lord gave to Saint Faustina, who we celebrate today on this Divine Mercy Sunday. That wisdom is summed up in the phrase, “Jesus, I trust in you.” Keep Hope Alive, Fr. Boeckman

Tuesday April 10, 2018 Archbishop Coakley has announced that St. Joseph's new pastor will be Fr. Joseph M. Irwin. As many of you know, Fr. Irwin was raised in St. Joseph Parish. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 3, 2005, and has been a priest in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for 13 years. For the last five years, Fr. Irwin has served as Director of Seminarians for the Archdiocese and for the last seven years as pastor of St. Francis Xavier and St. Gregory the Great in Enid and St. Michael's Parish in Goltry. He previously was pas-tor of Assumption Parish in Duncan and began his priestly ministry at St. Charles Borromeo Parish in Oklahoma City as Associate Pastor. Fr. Irwin has also been named Vicar for Priests for the Archdiocese. He has worked closely with Hispanic communities throughout his priesthood. Fr. Irwin says that he comes home to St. Joseph's "with humility and great trust," and looks forward to his assignment beginning in July.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:

Quería compartir con ustedes que mi tiempo como pastor de San José llegará a su conclusión el 3 de julio. El Arzobispo Coakley me ha pedido que sirva como capellán en el Colegio de Seminaristas Concepción en Missouri, donde ayudaré a entrenar y formar futuros sacerdotes para nuestra Arquidiócesis y para aquellos que vienen de otros estados.

Aunque es un gran honor que se me confíe este deber sagrado, mi corazón se aflige con la idea de dejarlos, especialmente en medio de la misión que hemos emprendido y de todo lo que ya hemos logrado como familia parroquial. Por favor, quiero que sepan lo mucho que ustedes significan para mi y la profunda gratitud que siento por los cinco años que he tenido el privilegio de servir como su pastor.

Como sacerdote, estoy llamado a discernir dónde Dios me está llamando. Aunque dejarlos será doloroso, respondo esta próxima llamada con plena confianza en su voluntad. El Padre Thomas permanecerá como pastor asociado y el Arzobispo Coakley pronto anunciará un nuevo pastor para San José.

Las transiciones a menudo crean ansiedad, pero eso es parte de nuestra condición humana. Por favor, únanse a mí para aprovechar la misma sabiduría que el Señor le dió a Santa Faustina, a quien celebramos hoy en este Domingo de La Divina Misericordia. Esa sabiduría se resume en la frase, "Jesús, en tí confío".

Mantégamos viva la esperanza, P. Boeckman

Martes 10 de abril de 2018 El Arzobispo Coakley ha anunciado que el nuevo Pastor de San José en Norman, OK. Será el Padre Joseph M. Irwin. Como muchos de ustedes saben, el Padre Irwin creció en la Parroquia de San José. Fué ordenado al sacerdocio el 3 de Junio del 2005 y ha sido Sacerdote en la Arquidiócesis de la Ciudad de Oklahoma durante 13 años. Durante los últimos cinco años, el Padre Irwin se ha desempeñado como Director de Seminaristas de la Arquidiócesis y durante los últimos siete años como Párroco de San Francisco Javier y San Gregorio Magno en Enid, y la Parroquia de San Miguel en Goltry. Anteriormente fué Pastor de la Parroquia de la Asunción en Duncan y comenzó su ministerio sacerdotal en la Parroquia de San Carlos Borromeo en la Ciudad de Oklahoma como Pastor asociado. Padre Irwin también ha sido nombrado Vicario de Sacerdotes de la Arquidiócesis. Él ha trabajado en estrecha colaboración con las comunidades hispanas a lo largo de su sacerdocio. Padre Joseph Irwin dice que llega a casa de San José en Norman, Oklahoma, "con humildad y gran confianza" y espera su asignación a partir de Julio.
