NEW
APPOINTMENT IN THE ARCHDIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE
In
June, Fr. Javier Guativa, from the CSP, became the new Administrator of two
parishes in Racine, Wisconsin
After five years of pastoral work on the Southside of
Milwaukee, Javier Guativa, a priest of the Community of St. Paul, was appointed
by Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki as the Parish Administrator of Saint Lucy and
Saint Sebastian parishes in Racine and nearby Sturtevant.
The parish of Saint Lucy, located in southeastern
Racine, is the largest parish in Racine with 5,550 members and a school of 282
students. It has a variety of ministries for youth and adults as well women’s
groups and a men’s Bible group that meets every Saturday to discuss the Sunday
readings. Saint Sebastian parish is located to the west of Saint Lucy. It is a
rural parish with 1,254 members, many of whom are local farmers.
The two parishes have been operating together as a
cluster for the past two years, sharing the priest and the various ministries,
which helps make the two communities grow together in faith.
We are pleased that Javier will now work pastorally in
Racine, where Ricardo MartÃn and Antony Thomas, also priests of the CSP, are
already pastors, and where our Community has its international headquarters.
