God Bless Catalina Arelis
Congratulations to Hugo and Griselle Carvajal, proud parents of Catalina Arelis who was baptised on Sunday July 18th. She became the youngest parishioner of Holy Cross Church. Congratulations to godparents, relatives and friends.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through this sacrament we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church. As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As Jesus won new life for us on the cross, with the symbol of the cross, Catalina was marked to receive the new life in the Lord. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave new life and lead to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish are asked to help this child to grow in Christian faith.

On Sunday, May 16th, the Seventh Sunday of Easter, at 11 am Holy Mass we witnessed the celebration of First Holy Communion administered to five children and three adults: Jazmin Bradbury, Viviana Galindo, Amber and Parker Herrick, Veronica Murphy, David Rodriguez, Chirag and Aarti Taylor. We congratulate all of them and their families on their special day.
The new recipients of the Holy Eucharist are welcomed to participate in the life of the parish by being altar servers, lectors reading the Word of God, and being part of various parish committees.
The Holy Eucharist is Jesus Christ who is really present under the forms of bread and wine. In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ gives us Himself as a food for our souls. The bread and wine becomes the Body and Blood of our Lord during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the priest says words of consecration which Jesus used during the Last Supper: This is My Body… This is My Blood… (Catechism of the PNCC)
