Milbert is below:</strong>&nbsp;</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">“Lord, to whom shall we go?” This verse from the Gospel of St. John 6:68 has been my personal theme, repeatedly emerging in my heart over the past nearly two years here at St. Mary of the Lake and Our Lady of Lourdes. When I arrived in Chicago as a student at Loyola University, I was filled with anxiety about facing a new culture and environment. But whenever I ask myself where I am going, the Lord always brings me to your wonderful community. It is with you that I have found the answer: that in the company of God and His people, there is always a home. This August 17, I am scheduled to return to the Philippines. This September, my Bishop assigned me in the seminary to serve as a Spiritual Director while finishing my final paper. Though it is difficult to say goodbye, I know that this mission is simply a continuation of answering the Lord's call.</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">My experience would not have been as rich and meaningful without you. To the Entire Parish Community, thank you so much for your warm welcome, unwavering support, and heartfelt help throughout my stay here. Your faith has been my inspiration. I came to your parish as a resident priest. My primary goal in coming to the United States was to study and expand my knowledge. However, beyond the lessons in the classroom, the deepest lessons of life and ministry were learned in your company. You did not treat me as just a guest or a temporary companion; you opened your hearts and homes to me as part of your family. To our Parish Staff, thank you for your diligent service behind the scenes. Your dedication has made my ministry easier and enriched the heart of our parish. And to my brother priests, Fr. Sergio, Fr. Frank, and Fr. Vince, thank you for your guidance, friendship, and for sharing in prayer and ministry. You have been a true family to me in a foreign land. As I return to my diocese, I will carry with me an important lesson you taught me: every priest also needs the care, love, and prayers of the community. We often see the priest as a guide, but over the past two years, you have shown me that a priest is also human, someone who gets tired, feels homesick, and needs support. Your simple smiles, check-ins, and care have given me the strength to continue my studies and ministry. The love you have shown me proves that the priesthood is not lonely; it lives and grows because of the love of the flock. Whenever the question, “Lord, to whom shall we go?” comes to my mind, I know the answer. We will always return to Him through our love for one another, the community for their priests, and the priests for their flock. The love you have left in my heart will inspire me to teach future priests to be good shepherds, ready to love and submit to the love of the Church. I will carry your smiles, prayers, and love with me as I return home. Your faith, love, and support have been the “baggage” I carry today, baggage that doesn't weigh me down but empowers me on my journey.</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">I entrust this community to the protection and maternal care of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. Rest assured that I will continue to include you in my Holy Masses and prayers. Please also pray for me in my new mission. Until we meet again, may God bless you!</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Benedictio</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Rev.

Milbert ahora que se prepara para regresar a Filipinas. Acompañadnos en el acto de bienvenida que tendrá lugar tras las misas de las 10:30 y las 12:30. <strong>A continuación, una nota de agradecimiento del P. Milbert:</strong></p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">“Señor, ¿a quién iremos?” Este versículo del Evangelio de San Juan 6, 68 ha sido mi lema personal, y ha surgido repetidamente en mi corazón durante los últimos casi dos años aquí, en Santa María del Lago y Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. Cuando llegué a Chicago como estudiante de la Universidad de Loyola, me invadió la ansiedad ante la perspectiva de enfrentarme a una nueva cultura y un nuevo entorno. Pero cada vez que me pregunto adónde voy, el Señor siempre me lleva a esta maravillosa comunidad. Es con ustedes con quienes he encontrado la respuesta: que en compañía de Dios y de su pueblo siempre hay un hogar. Este 17 de agosto tengo previsto regresar a Filipinas. Este septiembre, mi obispo me ha asignado en el seminario la tarea de ejercer como director espiritual mientras termino mi trabajo final. Aunque es difícil decir adiós, sé que esta misión no es más que una continuación de mi respuesta a la llamada del Señor.</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Mi experiencia no habría sido tan enriquecedora y significativa sin ustedes. A toda la comunidad parroquial, muchísimas gracias por su cálida acogida, su apoyo inquebrantable y su sincera ayuda a lo largo de mi estancia aquí. Su fe ha sido mi inspiración. Llegué a esta parroquia como sacerdote residente. Mi objetivo principal al venir a Estados Unidos era estudiar y ampliar mis conocimientos. Sin embargo, más allá de las lecciones en el aula, las lecciones más profundas de la vida y del ministerio las aprendí en vuestra compañía. No me trataron como a un simple invitado o un compañero temporal; me abrieron sus corazones y hogares como si fuera parte de su familia. Al personal de nuestra parroquia: gracias por su diligente servicio entre bastidores. Su dedicación ha facilitado mi ministerio y ha enriquecido el corazón de nuestra parroquia. Y a mis hermanos en el sacerdocio, el P. Sergio, el P. Frank y el P. Vince: gracias por su orientación, amistad y por compartir la oración y el ministerio. Han sido una verdadera familia para mí en tierra extranjera. Al regresar a mi diócesis, me llevaré conmigo una importante lección que me han enseñado: todo sacerdote también necesita el cuidado, el amor y las oraciones de la comunidad. A menudo vemos al sacerdote como un guía, pero durante estos dos últimos años me han demostrado que un sacerdote también es humano, alguien que se cansa, echa de menos su hogar y necesita apoyo. Sus sencillas sonrisas, sus muestras de interés y su cariño me han dado fuerzas para continuar con mis estudios y mi ministerio. El amor que me han demostrado es prueba que el sacerdocio no es solitario; vive y crece gracias al amor del rebaño. Cada vez que me viene a la mente la pregunta: «Señor, ¿a quién iremos?», sé cuál es la respuesta. Siempre volveremos a Él a través de nuestro amor mutuo: el de la comunidad por sus sacerdotes y el de los sacerdotes por su rebaño. El amor que han dejado en mi corazón me inspirará para enseñar a los futuros sacerdotes a ser buenos pastores, dispuestos a amar y a someterse al amor de la Iglesia. Llevaré conmigo sus sonrisas, oraciones y amor al regresar a casa. Su fe, amor y apoyo han sido el «equipaje» que llevo hoy, un equipaje que no me agobia, sino que me da fuerzas en mi camino.</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Confío esta comunidad a la protección y al cuidado maternal de Nuestra Señora del Monte Carmelo. Tengan la seguridad de que seguiré incluyéndoos en mis Santas Misas y oraciones. Por favor, rezen también por mí en mi nueva misión. Hasta que nos volvamos a ver, ¡que Dios los bendiga!</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Benedictio</p><p class="" style="font-size:.9375em;line-height:1.618em;margin:0 0 1.25em 0;font-weight:normal;margin-bottom:0;font-family:'Segoe UI', Candara, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'DejaVu Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Verdana, sans-serif;letter-spacing:-.01em;color:#313131;">Reverendo Milbert N.
