My Dear Parishioners and Friends,
Welcome Back! The beautiful summer is almost over and with thankful hearts we begin our regular life of the parish. We are eager to hear our children telling us of their summer adventures. The regular School of Christian Living classes will begin this Sunday September 7, 2008 at 10:10 A.M.. We are getting ready for our Third Annual Beefsteak Dinner which will take place on Friday, September 19, 2008. Please support this important fundraiser.
Time is drawing near for our annual “Autumn” Tricky Tray fundraiser on Friday, October 24, 2008. We have enough special prizes however we need regular and special trays. We hope that with the help and efforts of all parishioners and many friends of our parish, we will make this event a successful one.
I thank all parishioners who actively serve the Holy Cross Church and I ask everyone to join us to work hard for the good of our parish family. Equally important is to pray and do more efforts to increase membership of our parish. We wish that new members will find satisfaction in joining our family to take advantage to grow spiritually in the Lord.
I take this opportunity to congratulate Rocco A. Cerrato and Tanya Broniszewski on their special day of the Sacrament of Matrimony that took place on Saturday, September 6, 2008. May the Lord bless their family with His love and happiness.
Our regular Mass schedule begins today September 7, 2008 with Masses celebrated at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and weekday Masses as scheduled in the bulletin. We all have the responsibilities and a privilege to worship our God on Sunday. We present to the Lord many personal intentions as well the needs of others. Each Sunday our Savior invites and nourishes us with His Word and His real presence in the Holy Eucharist. We all need Jesus, His guidance, support, and His love. May God richly bless you. I keep you in my daily prayers. Please remember me in your prayers.
Yours in Christ,
Fr. Joseph
