Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

JUST AND KIND

In today's reading from the book of Wisdom, our God teaches us that, "those who are just must be kind." This is a revolutionary idea. Imagine it being applied systematically to social, political, and personal issues. Justice would be separated from revenge. Some of the distance between the judge and the sinner would be removed. Can you imagine how our world would change if we treated one another as our God treats us?

KEEP SAVING THOSE CANS!
Cash donations also accepted.

Our Confirmation Candidates are sponsoring an Aluminum Recycling Drive through September to help purchase new tables and chairs for Kolbe Center. The cost for the tables and chairs totals approximately $17,000. Thus far we have $7,140.00. This past week the Tuesday Toilers recycled 1,355 lbs. of aluminum and received $594.00 for this project. The cost of one table and ten chairs is $600.00. Please help us. Bags of aluminum cans (pop or beer) can be put in the containers by the doors of the church or by the garages behind the rectory. If you cannot save aluminum, cash donations are also accepted! Questions? Call Sister Benita evenings at 612-789-9168.
