Sunday, September 14, Holy Cross Parish celebrated the joyful commemoration of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
“We glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection.”
Dear Parish Family,
We give thanks to our Almighty Father for the beautiful celebration of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross this past Sunday. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who participated and generously offered their time, talent, and service in so many ways. I wish to especially thank our parish ministries, altar servers, kitchen volunteers, those who set up, served, and cleaned, the folklore dancers, the Music Ministry, and all the groups who contributed to this blessed day.
I am also grateful for the presence of the officers, who provided order and dignity during the celebration; for those who continually enrich our parish grounds with plants and flowers; those who accompanied me in the procession with devotion and are always so generous in supporting the Church through offerings and donations; and for the service given in completing the asphalt work, which so beautifully prepared our parish grounds for this feast.
My gratitude also extends to Ferraro’s Italian Grille, Acapulco Tropical, and Tacos Pancha LLC, who kindly provided food and beverages for our gathering. The dedication of Fr. Leszek, Deacon Craig, and our parish staff, who faithfully serve our community, is deeply appreciated for their tireless efforts and loving support.
Together, as a parish family, we honored the Cross of our Lord in the stations around our church grounds and received abundant blessings. May the Lord reward each of you richly for your devotion to our parish and to the glory of His Holy Cross.
In Christ,
Rev. Fr. Teofilo Useche, Pastor
