MISSION STATEMENT We, the people of the Parish of the Holy Cross, are a multi-cultural parish of the young and elderly, married and single, healthy and broken. We welcome all to come together and give praise and thanks to God. Through the celebration of the Eucharist and the other sacraments and devotions of the Church, we reach out to others in mercy and compassion and seek to share the joy of the Gospel throughout our large community. Here, with the support, strength, and inspiration we receive from one another, we are nourished daily on our journey of faith.

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE

Just as the apostles in today’s gospel were amazed at the power of Jesus so our children are amazed at our lack of fear of dark rooms or monsters in closets or under beds. As the apostles depended on Jesus, children depend on us to restore quiet to their lives. Getting out of bed at night to quiet a child’s fears is the stuff of holiness.

PERSPECTIVA DE LA FAMILIA Así como los apóstoles en el evangelio de hoy nosotros quedamos impresionados con el poder de Jesús. Nuestros hijos están sorprendidos de nuestra falta de temor a cuartos oscuros o monstruos en armarios o debajo de las camas. Como los apóstoles dependían de Jesús, los niños dependen de nosotros para restaurar la calma en sus vidas. Levantarse de la cama por la noche para calmar los temores de un niño es cosa de la santidad.

Stewards Have Faith “Then he asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have

faith?’” – Mank 4:40

Most of us like to be in control. Loss of control makes us fearful. Try changing your perspective, let God be the pilot! There’s an old saying “do you want to make God laugh? Tell him your plans.” Stewards put their trust in God, He always has a better plan!

From the Pastor…

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY Happy Father’s Day! As I mentioned many times in homilies and conversations with parishioners, a day does not go by without thinking about my Mom and Dad. This weekend, of course, as the country celebrates Father’s Day, my Dad is on my mind in a special way. My Dad and I had a wonderful relationship and being the single son I spent a lot of time with Dad. In many ways Dad became my best friend as Dad got older and I matured. Whether it was fishing, golfing, watching the Phillies and Eagles, laughing at a Seinfeld rerun or waiting for my Mom at a local mall, we spent countless hours together. Being a great Dad he was also an amazing Grandfather or Pop-Pop as he was lovingly known. I can still hear him laughing and singing and stirring up my nieces and nephews with a made up song or game. We learn from our parents, thus if I learned humility and gentleness from my Mom then my Dad taught me and my siblings to strive for excellence. My Mom would always say her children got their brains from my Dad. My Dad was smart, yet did not graduate from high school (he later earned his GED) as he dropped out of school to enter the Army in the closing years of the World War II. He desired to go to college after the war, but ended up using his GI Bill money to support his poor parents to pay off a mortgage. Dad became a Philadelphia Police Officer, married Mom and started a family. He instilled in my brothers and sister that drive for education and service. It is not surprising that all five (5) of us have graduate degrees. Dad believed in us and instilled in us the confidence that we could do whatever we set our minds on. He was so proud when a child or grandchild reached a goal. I remember my Mom saying how she admired that Dad never said a bad word about anyone. That is true, as Dad would always find the best in a person, especially if they were down. Mom and Dad taught us our faith by word and example. Our Catholic faith and heritage was in the air we breathed at home. Dad, Happy Father’s Day. Thank you for all you did for me and the family. I miss you and Mom every day. I wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers and Grandfathers in our parish community. May the love and mercy and strength of Our Lord be with you always. God Bless you and your Families, Fr. Vince

Desde el Escritorio del Pastor…

FELIZ DIA DEL PADRE ¡Feliz Día del Padre! Como ya he dicho muchas veces en las homilías y conversaciones con los feligreses, un día no pasa sin pensar en mi mamá y papá. Este fin de semana, por supuesto, ya que el país celebra el Día del Padre, mi papá está en mi mente de una manera especial. Mi papá y yo tuvimos una relación maravillosa siendo hijo único pasemos mucho tiempo con papá. En muchos sentidos, papá se convirtió en mi mejor amigo mientras papá se hacía mayor y maduró. Si se trataba de pesca, golf, observando los Phillies y los Eagles, o riéndose de una repetición Seinfeld o esperando de mi mamá en un centro comercial local, pasamos incontables horas juntos. Siendor un gran papá también era un abuelo increíble Abuelito o Pop-Pop como se le conocía cariñosamente. Todavía puedo oír su risa y canto y agitando mis sobrinas y sobrinos con una canción o un juego inventado. Aprendemos de nuestros padres, por lo que si aprendí humildad y mansedumbre de mi mamá mi de mi papá a mí y a mis hermanos nos enseñó a luchar por la excelencia. Mi mamá siempre decía que sus hijos tenían el cerebro de mi papá. Mi papá era inteligente, pero no se graduó de la escuela secundaria (más tarde obtuvo su GED) como él dejó la escuela para entrar en el ejército en los últimos años de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Deseaba ir a la universidad después de la guerra, pero terminó usando su dinero GI Bill para apoyar a sus padres ya que eran pobres les pago su hipoteca. Papá se convirtió en un oficial de policía de Filadelfia, se casó con mamá y formó una familia. Él inculcó mis hermanos y hermana que impulsan la educación y el servicio. No es de extrañar que a los cinco (5) de nosotros tenemos títulos de posgrado. Papá creyó en nosotros y nos inculcó la confianza de que podíamos hacer lo que nos propongamos en mente. Estaba tan orgulloso cuando un hijo o nieto alcanzaron una meta. Recuerdo a mi mamá diciendo cómo ella admiraba que papá nunca dijo una mala palabra sobre nadie. Eso es cierto, como papá siempre encontraba lo mejor de una persona, sobre todo si estaban abajo. Mamá y papá nos enseñaron nuestra fe mediante la palabra y el ejemplo. Nuestra fe y herencia católica estaba en el aire que respiramos en casa. Papá, Feliz Día del Padre. Gracias por todo lo que hiciste por mí y la familia. Te echo de menos y a mamá todos los días. Deseo Feliz del día de padre a todos los padres y abuelos de nuestra comunidad parroquial. Que el amor y la misericordia y la fuerza de nuestro Señor esté siempre con vosotros. Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia, P. Vince

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death.

In this memoir, set as deeply in his mind as in the Southeast Asian jungle, a young American soldier embarks

on a journey to a war that, for him, will never be over.
