Dear Holy Cross family,

I (Fr. VanDenBroeke) want to personally invite you to some special events happening tonight (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday).

Today at school we are not doing the Stations of the Cross, so we invite all families to attend Stations of the Cross at one of our three parishes this evening.  All three parishes -- Immaculate Conception, St. Nicholas, and Most Holy Trinity -- all have Stations at 7pm tonight.  Please join us!

A second event I'd like to invite everyone to attend is a Spiritual Reflection Retreat at Immaculate Conception in Lonsdale which we are hosting tonight and tomorrow.

Our speaker is Jesse Romero, who is a dynamic lay Catholic speaker.  He will be teaching this weekend on the topic of Apologetics, which is how to defend and explain our faith.

Schedule:

Friday

    5:45pm - Men's talk

    7pm - Stations of the Cross (for everyone)

Saturday

    8am - Check-in and light breakfast

    8:45am - Retreat begins

    5pm - Evening Mass concludes the retreat

There is no cost for this event (free will donations accepted).

All ages are welcome.  Adults as well as children in middle school and high school will especially benefit from this retreat.

I hope to see you here tonight and tomorrow!

God bless you,

Fr. VanDenBroeke
