EL FESTIVAL DEL 5 DE MAYO FUE TODO UN EXITO..!!!

Queremos comentarles con mucho gusto que nuestro festival del 5 de Mayo fue todo un exito..!!

Esto no hubiera sido posible sin la ayuda y participacion de todos los hermanos de Holy Cross.

Algunos sirvieron en los puestos de venta de comida, otros en los puestos de juegos etc etc, y la mayoria participaron asistiendo a comer a jugar, a escuchar el mariachi y las demas presentaciones. esta año tuvimos mayor asistencia que el año pasado y tambien el monto que se junto en dinero fue mayor al del otro año. estos fondos van directamente a la sub-cuenta de la comunidad hispana en la parroquia. esperamos que todos se hayan divertido ya que para eso lo organizamos ademas de para que como comunidad parroquial nos unamos y tambien porque no? para que la comunidad anglosajona de la parroquia conozca mas sobre nuestras costumbres y cultura. bueno aqui nos despedimos y esperamos que el proximo año tambien nos acompañen para juntos celebrar otra vez y nuestro plan es que al año entrante sea mejor que este.  Los esperamos y gracias nuevamente a todos los que participaron de una u otra forma asi como tambien le damos gracias a todas aquellas empresas y negocios que nos brindaron con generosidad sus donativos.  El domingo 2 de Junio de este 2013 a las 3:00 pm en el basement de la parroquia, tendremos una comida de agradecimiento a todos los hermanos que sirvieron en el festival, esperen la invitacion por parte de los coordinadores de area.  Gracias.!!

Bendiciones.!!

The purpose of Holy Cross' Pastoral Council is to offer sound, practical and prayerful advice to Fr. Mike regarding our parish life.  Nominations were received between November 10-18, 2012.  Nominees, then, participated in two formation meetings in December and January.   Finally, eleven people were selected during an evening of discernment, which was held in April.  (It was originally schedule for March, but was canceled, because of bad weather.)  One council member was appointed.  Six of the pastoral councilors will serve a one-year term and six will serve for two-years.  A sincere thank you to the women and men who are sharing their time and talents with Holy Cross as members of our new parish Pastoral Council.  They are: Greg Brown, Brad Conner, Diane Cunningham, Sebastian D'Amico, David Goddard, Laura Haeusser, Burton Huerter, Joe Kervliet, Anne Lawrence, Bill McHale, Jesus Salas, and Larry Volz.
