Gregory Tambornino1960-2004 It is with sadness that I report the death of Greg Tambornino. Greg has been a Cantor at Holy Cross since 1996. In addition to Sunday Mass, Greg also sang for funerals and weddings at our parish. His funeral was held on Saturday, June 5th at Our Lady of Grace, Edina. When not singing at many churches Greg was an Attorney at Law. It was a tremendous loss that this gifted and talented man passed away at the young age of 43. Please offer prayers for Greg that he find eternal life and peace in the God's heavenly kingdom. Father David |

PARISH CALENDAR Today, June 13 |

IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO THINK Here are some ideas of what can be done now: |
 FROM
THE MINNEAPOLIS SECOND PRECINT SAFE UNIT - Be on guard against cheap home repair work
offers that otherwise would be expensive, regardless of the reason given. A con
artist may just do part of the work, use shoddy materials and untrained workers
or simply take your deposit and never return. If you have elderly people living
on your block who may be need of home repair, talk with them about the
possibility of being conned. Remind them that:They do not need to open the door to people they do not know. Investigate before investing. Never make an investment with a stranger. Ask for information on the business and then call the business for an appointment. Beware of promises, good deals, and once in a lifetime opportunities. It's not always easy to spot con artists. They are smart, extremely persuasive, and aggressive. They invade your home through the telephone and the mail, advertise in well-known newspapers and magazines, and come to your door. Most people think they're too smart to fall for a scam. But con artists rob all kinds of people - from investment counselors and doctors to teenagers and elderly widows - of billions of dollars every year. REMEMBER: |
