There will be one Mass on Thanksgiving Day at 10am. All are invited to bring non-perishable food at the Mass to be donated to the Fredericksburg Food Bank. Due to some minor changes in the Food Bank’s operating procedures, please make sure all food is truly non-perishable as it may need to stay in the food bank van for a few days.
Once again scam emails claiming to be from Fr. Mosimann are going around. Please never buy or gift anything like gift cards because of some random email that comes in. Call and check with the office and you will find Father never emails asking for gift cards. Please be careful, especially around the holidays.
Folks,
Mission Accomplished!!
We did it!!
Thanks be to God!!
Alleluia!!
Yessss!!
You know I am talking about the Capital Campaign, right?
Our in-pew weekend, had more than a million dollars pledged! Launching this campaign was why we picked the theme last year, “Nothing is Impossible with God.”
Pledges have come from all corners of the parish: Holy Cross Academy families, alumni, grandparents, retired parishioners, homeschoolers, alumni of Montfort academy, longtime residents of Fredericksburg and newcomers too!
Yes, the biggest beneficiary is our parish school. Yes, there is a great deal of work for the parish too. But that is how real generosity works, the entire parish stepping up and helping without each measuring what only benefits themselves directly!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Yes, there are still some folks turning in pledges, and your generosity will be received with joy as well. All gifts are welcome and important! We are aware that some folks will not be able to fulfill a pledge because they move, change jobs, or go home to Jesus! A very good campaign will see 5% to 8% attrition on pledges, so the remaining incoming pledges will help buffer that attrition.
Also, if you want a memorial brick on our new Holy Cross Academy cafeteria wall, the deadline for making the required pledge will be the end of this year: December 31, 2023.
I am so grateful to the Lord for once again proving that with Him, all things are possible. Forget about recessions, forget about traffic on 95, forget about politics: and remember the wonderful works of the Lord!
pax,
Father John Mosimann
