The swearing in of the new vicar
The adventure begins from the vicar general of the diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio for Don Giuseppe Illica. Friday, as we report in below, he swore before the bishop. Appointment in the chapel with Bishop arrived a few minutes late and that made someone smile. Well, if not we make another, joked a monsignor. Then when Don Illica arrived and began, almost sotto voce, to read the oath ... to those who know him well had the shakes with emotion. Even in those few words written by others, he felt like a man who really believes it. In the word of God and universal Magisterium of the Church.
"I, Joseph Illica priest, on assuming the office of vicar general, I promise to always preserve communion with the Catholic Church, both in my words is the way I act." Since yesterday morning, the now former Castelsangiovanni pastor, Monsignor Joseph Illica, is officially the new vicar general of the diocese of Piacenza-Bobbio. In the chapel of the episcopal palace was sworn in front of the Bishop John Ambrosio, the chancellor of the Curia Don Mario Poggi and directors of uffici diocesani. Presenti, tra gli altri, il vicario generale uscente, monsignor Lino Ferrari e il vicario episcopale per la pastorale, monsignor Giuseppe Busani.
Un giuramento secondo una formula che prevede la recita del Credo, oltre alla promessa di essere fedeli sempre «in tutto ciò che è contenuto nella Parola di Dio, scritta o trasmessa», e in tutto ciò che la Chiesa afferma con i suoi pastori, «sia con giudizio solenne sia con il magistero universale». La firma, poi il timbro e i sigilli, apposti dal cancelliere di Curia, chiudono la cerimonia.
Don Illica è dunque il nuovo vicario generale ma ci vorrà ancora qualche giorno prima che prenda possesso del suo nuovo ufficio. Bisognerà attendere fino on Monday, March 14, when, at 0:30 in the Tapestry Hall of the Bishop's palace, will meet for a farewell, the courtly and all those who work in the various diocesan offices. The following Sunday, March 20, finally greet the parishioners of Castelsangiovanni.
Almost simultaneously advance the opposite direction of Archbishop Lino Ferrari, the now former vicar general. Monday, March 7, at 11:15 in the crypt of the Cathedral, will hold a farewell mass. Immediately after the curia and greet staff. Sunday, April 3 will make his solemn entry, accompanied by Bishop Gianni Ambrosio, as pastor of Castelsangiovanni.
