Dear Folks,

I want to share this image of the new chapel at Holy Cross Academy with you! This was taken on the day of our chapel unveiling and adoration for the students and the parish with adoration!

Thanks be to God! The chapel is already bearing fruit, as I received this message by email from aparishioner who stopped in to pray on the day of unveiling:

“Your beautiful chapel was a source of grace for me just a few hours ago! I was able to sneak in there to finish my 7 Sorrows Rosary in front of the Blessed Sacrament before picking up the kids. I believe I have some small idea of what God is calling me to do now. I’m sure everything will work out.“

Why do I say ‘unveiling?’ This is because the bishop will be coming in September to bless the chapel, and the entire HCA expansion project! So it will be properly blessed at that time!

Also… I thought we had put this in the bulletin previously, but Deacon Leo Flynn (who serves at St. Patrick’s) is leading a pilgrimage to Medjugorje May 22nd to 31st. The cost is $3500 (based on double occupancy). I have some questions about pilgrimages there, and many folks have opinions about the source of the ongoing apparitions. However, pilgrimages are permitted, and I have seen them bear great fruit in the lives of folks who have been. If you would like more details, please email Deacon Leo Flynn at this email leo@theflynnteam.com

I haven’t given up on a pilgrimage this fall to Greece & Turkey in the footsteps of St. Paul, I just haven’t had time to organize that! If not this year then next! And maybe a trip down to Mexico City to visit Our Lady of Guadalupe!! That is also a real possibility, and much easier to organize.

pax,

Father John Mosimann
