ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL - Our help to make Jesus Christ known and loved. To date we have gifts totaling $17,424.00 which is 62% of our parish goal of $28,263.00.  Each gift is important to the mission of our Archdiocese; it takes many people to form the Body of Christ.  Holy Cross Parish receives 25% of all gifts made through the parish for our educational programs.  If you have not already sent in a pledge, please prayerfully consider doing so.  Thank you for your support!

 

PARISH ALMSGIVING PROJECT - Thank you for your generous donation of breakfast food for St. Joseph’s Home for Children.  Next weekend, March 15 & 16, we will have a second collection for the Medicine Fund at Our Lady of Good Counsel Free Cancer Home.

 

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

 

In the Gospel of today we read about JESUS describing the paschal mystery.  Three times and in three different ways we are told about death.  By dying to self we rise to new life.  The Adoration Chapel is a great help for us to follow Jesus’ teaching.

 

Visit the Adoration Chapel.  Open Hours: Monday Noon; Tuesday: 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM & 12:00 Noon and Thursday: 2:00 PM & 3:00 PM.

 

For information call 763-788-4729 or 612-781-4806.
