Greetings from Holy Cross Church
The Teaching Mass we did for the 5:30pm Mass went over very well and other parishioners asked if I could repeat at different Masses. So, heads up, this Sunday 8:30am Mass I will be commenting at a few different points within the Mass.
February 11th (Saturday evening) 6:30pm in the great room for the Sweetheart Dance. All parishioners are encouraged to enjoy one another's company and spread some love as we dance the night away! Feel free to bring a treat to share.
Our second collection during the month of February takes place at Masses the weekend of February 11th & 12th supporting the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. visit: futurecatholicleaders.igivecatholictogether.org to learn more.
February 22nd Ash Wednesday Masses marking the beginning of our Lenten journey will be: 6:00am, 9:00am, 4:00pm, and 7:00pm. If you are traveling with your family, I highly encourage you to teach them by example that traveling is a good opportunity to experience the one and catholic (universal) parts of our belief as Catholics by starting Lent on Ash Wednesday somewhere. The free Mass Time app, or free for a while Hallow app, are both great resources to find churches and mass times anywhere. While Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation, it is a traditional and purposeful way to begin your Lenten journey to Easter.
