Change is Hard…..but Necessary My dear friends in Christ, As you all have heard I am going to be moving to Marin Catholic this summer to be the full time chaplain there. I will be living in residence at St. Patrick’s and helping there on the weekends when I do not have a vocation event. The day before I wrote this article I went over to St. Patrick Church to see my new living quarters and it became real that I am leaving.

I was told about my assignment the Tuesday before Easter and it is an assignment that I am excited about. Before I was in seminary, I shadowed at Marin Catholic and thought about teaching religion there. I do enjoy working with young people and I do feel that the assignment was made for me. But, when priests move assignments it is so much more than simply a change of job. I have a new place to live, new people to see everyday and a new family to pray with. It is a part of the life that I live, but it is hard.

When the announcement became public I was in Lourdes with the Order of Malta and there were a few of our parishioners on the pilgrimage. I was able to tell them in person, but it was more difficult than I thought it would be. St. Hilary has been such a wonderful place to have my first assignment as a priest. I see some of the parishioners more than I see my family. I have baptized, married and buried many people of the parish. This has been one of the greatest blessings. I loved helping people and bringing the presence of Christ’s love and mercy to them in their time of need.

It may be hard to see, but since priests do not have our own family, you truly become ours. Even though my new assignment is one that I am looking forward to doing, it is hard to leave. I will miss the community here, the school and most of all the people. I will miss people telling me, “to get rest so that I don’t get sick,” or “your mother says that you need to get more sleep.” I will miss the questions from the students at Mass that have nothing to do with that I’m talking about. I will miss being invited into parishioner’s homes and making me feel a part of their family. I will especially miss the pasta dinners, seeing people coming every month and happy to be together at Church. Most of all, I will miss the generous heart of this parish. Anytime I have needed anything for ministry or help in a ministry I have always been overwhelmed by the generosity of this parish. Your giving nature shows that Christ is at work in you and it is a breath of fresh air.

While there are many things that I will miss, I have had a wonderful first assignment that showed me the joys of being a priest during a difficult time in the church. Change is hard and it seemed like a short three years. Change is necessary though. I have learned so much about life, love and sacrifice from the parishioners that will serve me well in my new ministry as the chaplain at Marin Catholic. I feel that a new priest will bring new energy and new ideas to this wonderful parish. Fr. Ernesto Jandonero, a newly ordained priest will bring his joy, strengths and personality with him. I am excited for him, for you and the parish.

Your comments and words of congratulations have been great, but some people speak to me like I am dying. I am leaving, but only moving across the freeway. This last month unfortunately I will be away on retreat for a week and away for one week with our seminarians. But, I will still be around and would love to invite you all to my going away celebration. I will celebrate and say my words of thanks at the 5pm Mass on Saturday, June 29th followed by a reception in the hall. Please do come if you are able. This can be your homework assignment. I would love to have one final time to pray together before I go on my next assignment. Thank you for allowing St. Hilary to be my home and for you making it feel like home!

God Bless, Fr. Ginter

6:00 p.m. — Sat. on June 15th Tarantino Hall (various pastas,

Caring for the Environment and our Budget — LED

Lighting on Campus!

St. Hilary Church and School have been converting campus lighting from fluorescent and halogen to LED for some time now. A few years ago we started with some of the high demand locations. The Gym main ceiling lamps were converted with financial assistance from CYO and the “Old Men’s Basketball” group. Next, the main ceiling lamps in the Parish Hall. We inserted LED in a few of the parking lot pole lights as they burned out. Gradually Church lights were converted as they burned out. During the ensuing time we have seen our electrical consumption and PGE bills decrease. With that success, we decided to complete the conversion to LED in one large push this spring taking advantage of a no interest on-bill financing program administered by PGE. Under this program a large portion of the cost of the LED conversion will be paid over 5 years or perhaps longer (our financing paperwork is currently in process with PGE). During the School’s Easter break a few weeks ago, a group of electricians worked its way across the campus switching out the existing lighting elements with compatible LED. There has been some follow-up work, but the LED conversion is nearly complete today. 99+% of all lights in all 6 campus buildings and outdoors now use about 15-20% less energy. St. Hilary has taken a leadership role in doing what Pope Francis has asked of us, i.e., to be better stewards of our environment, in this case by using less carbon generated energy and thereby reducing future greenhouse gases. And in an era in which PGE, now in bankruptcy, is seeking a 7+% increase in electricity rates, the cost savings will mean even more. Maintenance costs will decrease. We will likely not have to change light bulbs for 5-8 years compared to 2-3 years on average now, another dollar savings. And the quality of light is better, most people would likely agree after they acclimate to it. We appreciate the foresight of the St Hilary Finance Council in approving this project. Mike Ratiani was a key member of the St. Hilary LED team that ensured the project’s success.
