Text Box: MESSAGE FROM 
FATHER JENSON


Our Lord in the Gospel this weekend reminds the religious people of his day that saying that you will do the Lord’s will but not actually keeping it, will not bring you salvation.  It is not enough to say one believes in God, one must act on that belief.  A sinner who repents and acts sincerely on that conversion will be more favored by God than one who talks a good faith, but does not live that faith.  We must walk the talk if we would be favored in the Lord’s eyes.

Good News - Our motor coach tour to the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is on.  We have enough people signed up and we will be leaving from Holy Cross Church on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 7:00 AM.   If you have signed up, please be there in plenty of time to get loaded on the bus for an on time departure.  It will be an awesome experience.

More Good News - The festival at Holy Cross was a huge success.  Many thanks to the many volunteers whose generous labor made this such a wonderful experience for the parish.  Despite several competing events we had a great crowd and sold out of almost everything.  Thanks also to the many parishioners from all three of our parishes who attended.  Father notices when his flock shows up at any of our tri-parish events. Thank you all for coming.

Father Glen Jenson
