FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK—DEL ESCRITORIO DEL PASTOR 2

The World in View from a Believer’s

Perspective

When Fr. William Mitchell, our founding Pastor retired in

1994, Fr. Blasé Meyer was appointed as interim until the

new Pastor, Fr. Dennis Riccitelli could be installed. Last

month, Fr. Blasé left this world to meet the Lord.

When a man of the cloth dies, priests from all over the

Diocese turn out to concelebrate and offer their mass

intentions for the fallen ‘brother in arms’. We were 30 to

40 priests at his funeral mass. Each priest celebrated his

mass intentions for Fr. Meyer, which was the equivalent

of that many masses being offered for the deceased—all

at once. Bishop Olmsted presided over the Eucharistic

Liturgy. Fr. Dennis Riccitelli preached a beautiful homily

about how Blasé helped Dennis say ‘yes’ to his priestly

vocation more than half a century ago. Fr. Richard Felt

was present, offering a temporal adieu and his prayers

on behalf of the deceased.

As priests, we men have received among the most

sublime gifts ever to be given to men. But the Lord had

this to say to his closest collaborators: From everyone

who has been given much, much will be demanded; and

from the one who has been entrusted with much, much

more will be asked.

With that in mind, I solicit your prayers today for Fr.

Blasé. God hears and answers the prayers we offer on

behalf of the dead—and that truth is full of hope.

Your Pastor,

Fr. Larry

El Mundo que se ve desde la perspectiva de

un creyente

Cuando el Padre William Mitchell, nuestro párroco

fundador, se jubiló en 1994, nombraron al Padre Blasé

Meyer como interino hasta que el nuevo párroco, Padre

Dennis Riccitelli, pudiera tomar posesión. El mes pasado, el

Padre Blasé dejó este mundo para ir a reunirse con el

Señor.

Cuando un hombre de sotana muere, sacerdotes de

alrededor de la Diócesis llegan a concelebrar y a ofrecer

sus intenciones de la misa por el “hermano en armas”

caído. Habíamos entre 30 y 40 sacerdotes en su misa de

funeral. Cada sacerdote celebró sus propias intenciones de

la misa por el Padre Meyer, lo cual equivale a ese número

de misas ofreciéndose por el fallecido, todas al mismo

tiempo. El Obispo Olmsted presidió ante la Liturgia

Eucarística. El Padre Dennis Riccitelli predicó una homilía

hermosa acerca de cómo Blasé le ayudó a Dennis a decir

‘si’ a su vocación sacerdotal hace más de medio siglo. El

Padre Richard Felt estaba presente, ofreciendo un adiós

temporal y sus oraciones por el fallecido.

Como sacerdotes, nosotros como hombres hemos recibido

uno de los dones más sublimes que jamás se haya dado a

los hombres. Pero el Señor dijo lo siguiente a sus

colaboradores más cercanos: De aquellos que hayan

recibido mucho, mucho será demandado; y de aquel a

quien mucho se ha confiado, mucho más será pedido.

Con eso en mente, les pido sus oraciones hoy día por el

Padre Blasé. Dios oye y responde las oraciones que

ofrecemos por los muertos—y esa verdad está llena de

esperanza.

Su Pastor,

Padre Lorenzo

THE TRINITY OF STEWARDSHIP 5

The Holy Cross Stewardship Committee fosters the mission of Holy Cross Catholic Church by INFORMING the parish of ministries taking place, by INVITING people into new and existing ministries, by SUPPORTING people in their ministries, by PROVIDING information regarding the financial situation of the parish and to INCREASE financial support of the parish.

Dear Parishioners,

You may be aware that a comprehensive planning study of the entire parish is underway. The

purpose of this review is to help gauge support for the following projects that constitute our

parish master plan:

I offer sincere thanks to study participants. We value your thoughts shared during this

planning process. I encourage everyone who hasn’t responded to do so. Your input will help

us make an informed decision regarding our long-range plans for Holy Cross.

We hope to have all surveys completed by Jan. 30. You may return your survey to the office or

place it in the offertory basket at any of the Masses.

You may also complete the survey online by going to steiergroup.com/survey, clicking on Holy

Cross Catholic Church and entering the password: holycross2018.

Gratefully,

Fr. Larry Merta

St. Vincent de Paul's life-saving works to the poor could never

be accomplished without the generous support of our

parishioners and good friends like you. Every dollar you give

works small and large miracles in the lives of the forgotten

and destitute we see day to day right here in our own

community. Next week-end our Saint Vincent de Paul

members will be outside all the Masses with their blue

buckets for donations that make these miracles happen. May

you be blessed for whatever you can give.

F o r m a t i o n

P r o g r a m

Join us in our continuing Adult Faith

Formation study program featuring

renown theologian, author, and national

speaker, Dr. Edward Sri. We are

exploring the classical view of morality

and find that it’s not merely a set of

guiding principles for theoretical

situations—it is an entire way of life.

Session 2: Recovering the

Basics Each one of us is created for love. The

good news is that we don’t have to

figure out how to live up to this purpose

on our own. In this session, we'll

discover that there really is a set of

skills that will make us capable of living

our relationships well and eventually

building up a great society: the virtues,

and that these virtues are the skills we

need for life.

Books can be purchased from the

Parish Office for $5 ($14.40 on

Amazon) .

Participant study guides will be

provided at all sessions. Donations to

cover the cost of materials is greatly

appreciated.

The videos and participant guides can

be found on FORMED.org (Parish Code

BR4Z9E) for those who cannot attend

or who have to make up a session.

2017, how did you do on your

caregiving journey?

1. If you felt overwhelmed during

the past year, did you ask

anyone else to help you with

your caregiving duties?

2. Did you take some breaks from

your caregiving duties even if

just for a couple of hours each

week?

3. Did you seek and receive support from others on the

caregiving journey through in-person support groups or

online virtual support groups?

4. Did you keep up with your own medical appointments and

wellness exams?

Did you remember to affirm yourself occasionally for all you are

doing for your loved one?

If you answered “yes” to four of the five questions above, then

you had a successful year that deserves to be replicated. If

you answered “yes” to three or fewer questions, you should

have a good idea of a focus for your 2018 caregiving journey.

To fulfill the third point above, come join us at our monthly

support group meetings. We will meet next Thursday, January

25, 2018, at 1:30 p.m. in classroom J at Holy Cross. We

meet again on Wednesday, February 14, 2018, at 2:30 p.m.

in classrooms 1-2 at Mountain Vista Medical Center, 1301

Hay Que Registrarse En La Parroquia

Da muchas ventajas el registrarse (matricularse) en la

parroquia donde uno asiste a Misa. Los datos personales son

privados Y no los compartimos con nadie. Luego, cuando su

familia necesita sacramentos, o matricularse para los

programas de educación religiosa, o si va a ser padrino en un

bautizo, los procedimientos se pueden lograr rápidamente y

fácilmente.

Venga a la oficina de la parroquia y llene el formulario para

registrarse en la Iglesia de la Santa Cruz.
