St. Patrick’s Luncheon

On Sunday, March 15th, we hosted a St. Patrick’s Luncheon. We enjoyed music and a menu prepared by David and Ed Obssuth, as well as their helpers in the kitchen. The meal consisted of corned beef, cabbage, baked chicken, a variety of vegetables, assorted breads, Irish soda bread, and delicious homemade desserts. We thank those who decorated the hall, served, and cleaned after the event. We enjoyed the drawing of the in-house 50/50 and basket of cheer, as well as the “green surprise gifts” game. We thank everyone for coming to our annual celebration. St. Patrick—bishop, great missionary, and patron of Ireland—pray for us!

Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve at 4 pm we traditionally celebrated Holy Mass with our youth participation. They wear costumes of Mary, Joseph, Angel Gabriel, Shepherds, Three Kings, Angels and a Little Lamb. The youth read the Holy Scriptures, and sang together with participants of the Mass the Silent Night with lighted candles and well received Feliza Navidad. We thank the youth, parents, School of Christian Living teachers, Ms. Natalie and Mr. Paul and all who helped to celebrate the Birth of Jesus in such a joyful and meaningful way.

Parish Pictorial Directory by Universal Church Directory

Our parish had the last pictorial church directory done in 2009. Next year, as we know, we will celebrate our 100th anniversary. It is a great occasion to have another church directory honoring our service to our community for the past one hundred years. In contact with the Universal Church Directory, we scheduled the date. The pictures of individuals and families will be taken on Monday,April 13th. Based on the number of parishioners taking pictures we may have a second day. This directory will not be complete without you. If you are a member of Holy Cross your entire life or you just joined our parish family, please feel that it is a privilege and honor to be part of our project. Volunteers would be needed. Please contact our church office or simply contact one of our parish committee members. Thank you in advance. God bless!
