Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

SEEK OUT JOY!

In the words of the psalmist used as a refrain at today's Eucharist, all of nature resounds with joy at the presence of God.

The rivers clap their hands,
the mountains shout with joy.

Take at least 15 minutes this week to listen to and learn from the way the natural world reflects its Creator.

COFFEE AND DONUTS TODAY after the 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. Masses. All are welcome to come and visit with fellow parishioners. If you can help or would be interested in hosting with an upcoming Coffee & Donut Sunday, please call the Rectory weekdays at 612-789-7238.

Join this parish community in support of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development. Together we can break the cycle of poverty in our country - not just for a day, but for a lifetime.
