We warmly welcome Fr. Casimir to Holy Cross this weekend as part of our cooperation with the Diocese of Greensburg Mission Appeal Cooperative.
Last weekend the tradition of the Holy Cross Festival continued in grand style. The weather was perfect, the crowds were huge and a good time was had by all. I wish to say "thank you" to all who worked hard in preparing the festival and those who worked in the many different areas of the Festival. A special "thank you" to the festival committee for another year of great dedication and hard work coordinating all the events for the festival. With everyone’s hard work and effort and God leading us, the festival would not have been the great success that it was! May the tradition continue in 2012!
Tuesday is the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charities. He is renowned for his compassion and generosity. Thank you for your contributions throughout the year in helping those in need in our local community.
Thursday is the Feast of the Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. Michael is the protector of police officers. Gabriel, patron of postal workers and ambassadors, delivers divine messages to those who listen to God’s word and keep it. Raphael, guardian of the blind and of teenagers, is the companion we seek in the confusing times of our lives. Don’t leave home without your guardian angel.
Our Psalm response this week, "Your ways, O Lord, make known to me," encourages us to ask God to teach us and guide us to God’s truth.
Six rings are great but 7 would be heaven... Go Steelers!
