Dear Friends, Last week, Father Juan Manuel wrote his biography which I hope you read. I didn’t know he wanted to be an architect in a previous life. It got me thinking that I should let you know a little bit about myself before coming here to OLL two years ago. My cousin visited me last week and she brought along the following article from Catholic San Francisco from June of 2000, right before I was ordained a priest. I had never seen this article before! I share it with you now.
Enjoy! Fr. Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “If Brian were going to be named Pope, I couldn’t be more proud of him,” said Eileen Costel-lo, Rev. Mr. Costello’s mother. Born in Oakland on June 2, 1953, the ordinand is one of four children of Eileen and the late James Costello. He was baptized in his crib by the late Father John Sullivan of Boston, a classmate of Cardinal Francis J. Spellman, former Archbishop of New York. “Father Sullivan placed a special relic in his crib and said, ‘He is going to be some-thing very special’,” said Eileen Costello. The first time his parents heard he wanted to be a priest was when his first grade teacher, Presentation Sister Mary Nicholas, told them he had announced it in front of classmates at St. Elizabeth School in Portola District. They didn’t give it much thought then as young Brian was involved in preparing for First Communion. But when his mother continuously found him in the garage “saying Mass” on a makeshift altar with several candles burning, she thought maybe there could be some substance to the young man’s story. “I still remember the smell of those candles and running for fear he was going to burn the house down,” she laughed. Today, he says, “I honestly can’t remember a time I didn’t want to become a priest.” His moth-er was the major influence in his life and taught him the importance of love he said. “Some of my first memories are of her taking me to church, reading Bible stories, and teaching me my prayers.” Ever since he was eight, his mother said, he would give her a rose on his own birthday and say, “I wouldn’t be celebrating my birthday if it weren’t for you – because you gave me life.” When he could afford it, he included a box of candies with the rose – a tradition, his mother said, that continues. Growing up, Rev. Mr. Costello said he wanted to emulate his pastor, the late Father Richard Power of Our Lady of Mercy Church in Daly City. “His goodness permeated everything he did,” he said, “whether he was celebrating Mass or passing out dimes at our annual parish fes-tival. He was a good man and a good priest, and I wanted to be just like him.” President John F. Kennedy and Pope John XXIII were boyhood heroes, he noted, who had a great impact. “President Kennedy was our first Catholic president and he wasn’t afraid to show the world he was a man who had deep faith. Pope John had the courage to call Vatican Council II despite the Roman Curia. After graduating from Our Lady of Mercy Elementary, the soon-to-be-ordained man attended St. Joseph High School Seminary from 1967-1971. He also attended St. Patrick College Semi-nary for two years and San Francisco State University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in English in 1975. His vocational journey has taken him in several directions, including teaching at five Catholic

High School’s in California – San Jose’s Bellarmine College Prep and Archbishop Mitty; San Fernando Valley’s Alamany; St. Genevieve in Panama City; and Bellarmine/Jefferson High School, Burbank. He also spent 1983-95 in the religious community of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary during which time he was ordained a deacon by former Auxiliary Bishop Pat-rick J. McGrath at St. Mary’s Cathedral, April 1989. In 1995 Rev. Mr. Costello left the Congregation. “The religious community no longer felt like my family for life. It was like a marriage of partners that drifted apart” he said. Three years ago, he entered St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park as a candidate to the priest-hood for the Archdiocese. The president/rector, Sulpician Father Gerald Coleman said of the future priest, “I have known Brian since he was in the college seminary and hold him in deep respect.” “One of Brian’s major strengths is his self-reflective honesty,” said Father Coleman. “His journey to the priesthood has been a long one, but never marred by a lack of commit-ment or strength of character. He will be an extremely fine priest, one who will demonstrate, I believe, a superb pastoral sense. Two priest colleagues who will be helping vest Rev. Mr. Costello on his ordination day are Father Mike Burns, pastor of St. William Parish in Los Altos, and Father John Cloherty, pas-tor of Holy Angels, Daly City. “These men are people priests and always put other before themselves. I hope in some small way, I can have the effect on people as they have throughout their ministries,” said Rev. Mr. Costello. The future priest said he believes the future of the Archdiocese can be seen in the faces of new immigrants from Latin America, Asia, and other parts of the world. “We, as Church, need to welcome them with open arms and open hearts. Together we cannot help but be a better Church – because that’s what Catholic is all about, he said, adding he hopes to bring “God’s great love as manifested in His Word and Sacraments, especially the Eucharist: to the people of the Archdiocese. Interests and hobbies, he said, include “all sports, especially baseball.” When time permits he plays basketball, racquetball and tennis. His taste in music runs from classical to heavy metal. He enjoys biographies and historical novels as well as movies.

Queridos amigos, La semana pasada, el padre Juan Manuel escribió su biografía que espero que lee. No sabía que quería ser arquitecto en una vida anterior. Eso me hizo pensar que yo debería saber un poco acerca de mí mismo antes de venir aquí para OLL hace dos años. Mi prima me visitó la semana pasada y ella trajo consigo el siguiente artículo de la Católica de San Francis-co a partir de junio de 2000, justo antes de que yo fui ordenado sacerdote. Nunca había visto este artículo antes! Lo comparto con ustedes ahora. Disfruta!
P. Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Si Brian iba a ser nombrado Papa, no podría estar más orgulloso de él", dijo Eileen Costello, la madre del Rev. Sr. Costello. Nacido en Oakland el 2 de junio de 1953, el ordenando es uno de los cuatro hijos de Eileen y el fallecido James Costello. Fue bautizado en su cuna por el fallecido padre John Sullivan, de Boston, un compañero de clase del cardenal Francis J. Spellman, ex arzobispo de Nueva York. "Padre Sullivan colocó una reliquia especial en su cuna y le dijo: 'Él va a ser algo muy especial'", dijo Eileen Costello. La primera vez que sus padres escucharon que quería ser sacerdote fue cuando su maestra de primer grado, Presentación hermana Mary Nicholas, les dijo que había anunciado que delante de sus compañeros de clase en la Escuela St. Elizabeth en Portola Distrito. Ellos no dan mucho pensamiento a continuación, tan joven Brian participó en la preparación para la primera comunión. Pero cuando su madre lo encontró de forma continua en el garaje "misa" en un improvisado altar con varias velas encendid-as, pensó que tal vez podría haber algo de sustancia a la historia del joven. "Todavía recuerdo el olor de las velas y corriendo por miedo a que se iba a quemar la casa", se rió. Hoy, dice, "Honestamente, no puedo recordar un momento en que no quería ser sacerdote." Su madre fue la mayor influen-cia en su vida y le enseñó la importancia del amor, dijo. "Algunos de mis primeros recuerdos son de su yo tomar a la iglesia, leer historias de la Biblia, y enseñándome mis oraciones." Desde que tenía ocho años, su madre dijo que iba a darle una rosa en su propio cumpleaños y decir, "yo no estaría celebran-do mi cumpleaños, si no fuera por ti -. Porque me dio la vida" Cuando podía permitir, que incluye una caja de dulces con la rosa - una tradición, su madre dijo que sigue. Al crecer, Rev. Sr. Costello dijo que quería emular a su pastor, el difunto padre Richard Poder de Nuestra Señora de la Merced en Daly City. "Su bondad impregnaba todo lo que hizo", dijo, "si estaba celebrando misa o desmayos monedas de diez centavos en nuestro festival anual de la parroquia. Era un buen hombre y un buen cura, y yo quería ser como él ". El presidente John F. Kennedy y el Papa Juan XXIII fueron héroes de infancia, señaló, que tuvo un gran impacto. "El presi-dente Kennedy fue nuestro primer presidente católico y que no tenía miedo de mostrar al mundo que él era un hombre que tenía una fe profunda. Juan tuvo el valor de llamar al Concilio Vaticano II a pesar de la curia romana. Después de graduarse de la Virgen de la Merced Primaria, el hombre pronto-a-ser-ordenado asistió a Secundaria del Semi-nario St. Joseph de 1967-1971. También asistió al Seminario St. Patrick College por dos años y la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco, donde obtuvo una licenciatura en Inglés en 1975. Su recorrido profesional lo ha llevado en varias direcciones, incluyendo la enseñanza a las cinco Catholic High School de California - Belarmino Preparación para la Universidad de San José y el Arzobispo Mitty; Alamany del Valle de San Fer-nando; St. Genevieve en la Ciudad de Panamá; Belarmino y / Jefferson High School, de Burbank. También pasó 1983-95 en la comunidad religiosa de la Congregación de los Sagrados Corazones de Jesús y María, tiempo durante el cual fue ordenado diácono por el ex obispo auxiliar Patrick J. McGrath en la catedral de Santa María, de abril de 1989. En 1995 Rev. Sr. Costello salió de la Congregación. "La comunidad religiosa ya no se sentía como mi familia para toda la vida. Era como un matrimonio de parejas que se separaron ", dijo. Hace tres años, ingresó en el Seminario de San Patrick en Menlo Park como candidato al sacerdocio en la Arquidiócesis. El presidente / rector, dijo sulpiciano Padre Gerald Coleman del futuro sacerdote, "He conocido a Brian desde que estaba en el colegio seminario y retenerlo en el profundo respeto." "Uno de los principales puntos fuertes de Brian es su honestidad auto-reflexivo", dijo padre Coleman. "Su camino hacia el sacerdocio ha sido largo, pero nunca empañado por la falta de com-promiso o la fuerza de carácter. Él será un cura muy bien, uno que demostrar, creo, un excelente sentido pastoral. Dos colegas cura que estará ayudando chaleco Rev. Sr. Costello en su día de la ordenación son el padre Mike Burns, párroco de San Guillermo Parish en Los Altos, y el padre John Cloherty, pastor de Santos Ángeles, Daly City. "Estos hombres son gente sacerdotes y siempre ponen al otro antes de sí mismos. Espero que de alguna manera, puedo tener el efecto en las per-sonas, ya que tienen a lo largo de su ministerio ", dijo el Rev. Sr. Costello. El futuro sacerdote dijo que cree que el futuro de la Arquidiócesis se puede ver en las caras de los nuevos inmigrantes de América Latina, Asia y otras partes del mundo. "Nosotros, como Iglesia, hay que recibirlos con los brazos abiertos y el cora-zón abierto. En conjunto, no puede dejar de ser una Iglesia mejor - porque eso es lo Católica se trata, dijo, y agregó que es-pera para llevar "gran amor de Dios que se manifiesta en su Palabra y los Sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaristía: a la gen-te de la Arquidiócesis. Intereses y aficiones, dijo, incluyen "todos los deportes, especialmente el béisbol." Cuando el tiempo lo permite se juega al baloncesto, frontenis y tenis. Su gusto por la música va desde lo clásico a metales pesados. Él disfruta de biografías y novelas históricas, así como películas.
