Please save the date of Sunday, June 29th for a reception following the last Mass that Father Illo will be saying at Saint Mary Magdalen Chapel. This is your opportunity to thank him for the many Masses he has offered with us and to offer your prayers of support for his new assignment. Stay tuned for more details!
In the meantime, you can read a recent, short interview of Father Illo at The Catholic World News Report entitled "Because the Shepherds Need Joy" posted on May 29th. Read more...
As mentioned in this interview, a former Thomas Aquinas College chaplain, Father Paul Raftery, O.P. will be returning to the college as Father Joseph Illo leaves to establish the new Oratory in San Francisco. Fr. Raftery, a Dominican priest has also served our Latin Mass community for several years when we were at Mission San Buenaventura.
