From Our Pastor
Dear Folks,
After lots of work and juggling sub-contractors, it looks like our Saint Helena Chapel @Holy Cross Academy is ready to be unveiled! The woodworking trim should be finished about the time this bulletin arrives at the parish! Isn’t it wonderful that the Lord works all things to His timing?!
Tuesday is the Feast of the Annunciation which features prominently in the stained-glass window (as seen in the church for a year during construction!) What a perfect day to unveil the chapel! We will have a Mass in the chapel for HCA staff on Tuesday morning, followed by adoration for the HCA students, with adoration opening to the parish after school lets out at 3:30pm until 8:00pm. See the link, and specific information on the Capital Campaign page, if you want to sign up for an afternoon hour with Jesus!
The final additions to the chapel are statutes coming from Italy and a permanent altar, currently in the workshop of a parish carpenter. We are thrilled that Bishop Burbidge will be at Holy Cross Academy to celebrate the Feast of the Holy Cross with our students and bless the chapel, new cafeteria, kitchen, middle school wing, and playground! This will also be just days before the parish picnic, (September 13th) and we are excited to have access to the new cafeteria for serving picnic foods and your ability to see the great work we are accomplishing as a parish family!
That’s our big news this week! Have a blessed Lent!
pax,
Father John Mosimann
