Text Box: MESSAGE FROM FATHER JENSON Our Gospel this weekend speaks of the suffering that Jesus will have to undergo from the leaders of the people. Peter objects that this should never happen to him. It is natural to never want someone that we love to know suffering, pain and loss in their lives. Jesus shows that even the Son of God endured these things in his life on earth, therefore, these things can happen in our lives too. Following Jesus does not promise that nothing can ever happen to us. It does mean that He will provide meaning to these things in some way in our life and promises that there will be something even better that awaits us no matter what befalls us here. Next weekend is the Fall Festival at Holy Cross. I hope that lots of parishioners from all three parishes will be there. Our church festivals are a blast in Northeast. This weekend is All Saints Festival as well. Lots to do for fun in September in our parishes. This Sunday afternoon, Sept. 13th, there will be a family Adoration Hour at Holy Cross. This month I am hearing the confessions and leading the Benediction. Come and discover the wonderfully calming effect of Eucharistic Adoration for yourself and your family. This Monday, Sept. 14th, is our Parish Feast Day - the Exultation of the Holy Cross. We will have a special Mass at 6:30 PM. This Mass is for blessings on all the people of our parish. There is also a special indulgence for offering prayers for the intentions of the Pope at a church on its patronal feast day. Come and honor the holy cross of our Lord Jesus, and pray for our parish and for its zeal in faith. Father Glen Jenson, Pastor

COFFEE & DONUT SUNDAY - We are hosting a Coffee & Donut Sunday TODAY after all morning Masses in Kolbe Center. This is a great opportunity to stop down and visit with fellow parishioners.
