Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON As the feasts of the Ascension and Pentecost draw near we hear Jesus in the Gospel telling his apostles that he will be leaving them and that the Father will send the Holy Spirit to them. Jesus will not leave us alone from heaven where he is at the Father’s side. They give us the Holy Spirit, their bond of love, to guide and strengthen us. He comes to us through the Holy Spirit especially in communion, and fittingly our young children are receiving their First Holy Communion during this special time near the Ascension and Pentecost. St Hedwig’s children received their First Holy Communion last week and those at Holy Cross do so this Sunday. With Jesus in our hearts in the Eucharist we are filled with the Holy Spirit to grow in the ways of divine love that Jesus leads us to. May everyone who is nourished with the Holy Eucharist become living examples of divine love, the love of Jesus and bring that love to those whom we meet. The world is waiting for this example of love for it to be transformed into the foretaste of heaven that only Jesus’ love can enable it to become. God bless all our children as they make their First Holy Communion. May they inspire us as they begin to live their new relationship with Jesus! MOTHER’S DAY REFLECTIONS... God gave the world stars and there was beauty. God gave the world sun and there was warmth. God gave the world rain and there was life. God gave the world MOTHERS and there was LOVE. Happy Mother’s Day! Father Glen Jenson, Pastor Text Box: REGISTRATION - Again this weekend we will begin registration for the 2010-2011 Faith Formation classes and First Communion preparation.
