Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON The Lord in our Gospel this Sunday teaches the scholar of the law who is our neighbor. The Samaritan man who helped the Jewish man who was attacked while on a journey was a stranger to him, and even from a people the Jewish people avoided. His willingness to help someone who would normally have shunned him teaches us about the Lord’s definition of who our neighbor is. Our neighbor is everyone who is in need whom we could help. May these summer days when we relax and vacation allow us to deepen our faith and enable us to see the people around us in a different light. Then we can bring the light of Christ into our world. Father Glen Jenson, Pastor

STRATIGIC PLANNING PROCESS - The Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis is engaged in a strategic planning process. The planning process was launched in February 2009. Decisions regarding changes to parishes and schools will be announced at Masses the weekend of October 16 and 17, 2010.  Although the changes will be challenging, they are necessary to ensure the health of our local Church for us now and for generations to come. While it is true that these changes are triggered by economic and demographic factors, the main goal of the planning process is to foster a revitalized and sustainable local Church.  Over the past year, planning task force members have considered the input of thousands of parish and Catholic school leaders and staff, parishioners, pastors and others.  While the input gathering phase of the planning process has come to a close, your prayers and your feedback are always appreciated.  You may submit comments and find out more about the archdiocesan planning process by visiting http://planning.archspm.org/  You may also leave a comment on the planning process voicemail hotline at 651-291-4435.

HOLY CROSS USHER’S MEETING - There will be a Holy Cross Usher’s Meeting on Wednesday, July 14th at 6:30 PM in Kolbe Center (use alley entrance).  Agenda will be scheduling, recruiting procedures and security.  Please plan on attending.  Thank you
