When you are admitted to a hospital or nursing home, please tell the admissions staff and nurses that you are Roman Catholic and would like a visit from the facility’s Catholic Chaplain. This is due to HIPAA privacy laws. The Chaplain is often able to see you and administer the sac-raments during times when the pastor is not available.
If you experience any personal injury on church property, please call the office or speak to
Fr. McGuirk.

My People, We are reading from Romans Chapter 9 about our relationship to the Jewish people. Too many Christians and
Americans do not respect the Jewish people. Bishop Malesic reached out to the local synagogue when the shootings happened in Pittsburgh. At the Second Vatican Council on October 28, 1965 all of the bishops wrote and signed Nostra Aetate: “Our Relation-ship to Other Religions.” They hold the Jewish people highest. They decry all persecutions. And they reiterate St. Paul: “theirs (the Jewish people) is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the law and the worship and the promises; theirs are the fathers and from them come Christ our Savior.” Be good to the Jews for Christ’s sake. And when you hear that others hate them, remind those others to read Romans 9.
Blessings, Father McGuirk
“Let us pray also for the Jewish people, to whom the Lord our God spoke first, that he may grant them to advance in love of his name and in faithfulness to his covenant.” Prayer from the Liturgy of Good Friday

Faith of our fathers, living still In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword; Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy Whene’er we hear that glorious word. Faith of our fathers, holy faith, We will be true to you till death. Faith of our mothers, daring faith, Your work for Christ is love revealed, Spreading God’s word from pole to pole, Making love known and freedom real. Faith of our mothers, holy faith, We will be true to you till death.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Calling all selfie-takers and designated family photographers!
We are announcing the Holy Cross Family Festival of Funny Fotos,
Featuring Favorite Photos of Corona Capers. We need your help to compile a gallery of photos capturing the capers committed by our parish families during the corona virus quarantine. This is a FUN-Raiser – if we raise some funds, that would be nice, but we just want to have some fun since we can’t have a Fall Food Festival this year. So while you were at home wondering what to do without a festival where you could frolic and feed yourself, maybe you took some photos of your summer of staying home and voluntarily avoiding visiting? Since we can’t see each other at the festival, we can see each other through our fun family photos.
These are the “categories” from A to Z: Awesome Adults; Beautiful Baby Boomers; Cute Kids; Darling Dads; Energetic Elders;
Friendly Families; “GREAT” Grandparents; Happy Halloweeners; Incredible Infants; Jolly Juveniles; Kind Kinfolk; Lazy Loungers; Magnificent Moms; Nice Neighbors; Official Organizations;
Playful Pets; Quarantined Queens & Kings; Rowdy Relatives; Smart Students; Talented Teens; Uncles/Aunts in Uniform; Virtual Vacationers; Wonderful Workers; eXuberant Gen Xers;
Youthful YouTubers; Zooming Zoomers:
You may submit photos for as many categories as you wish—or create a category of your own! Formal portraits will be accepted, but tasteful funny photos (think “America’s Funniest Home Videos”) that you took yourself are what we’re looking for. If you can submit the photos via email or online (Jpeg format), that would be preferable. If you send us an actual photo, please include an SASE, or we will be unable to return it. All we ask is a donation of at least $5.00 per photo to cover the cost of publication and one copy of the gallery for your family. No information other than your name (and maybe your funny caption) will be published. Who knows? You might even see the Familiar Friendly Faces of Father McGuirk and his Superstar Staff! If you don’t want to “show your face” you can wear a mask! Or you can just donate a few dollars toward the project anonymously. Donations can be made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Anyone who donates will get one copy of the publication. Extra copies will be available for a small fee to cover the cost of publication. Deadline for submission of photos or donations is November 1, 2020.
Call Maria if you need more info or have any questions.
Deadline: Sunday, Nov. , 2020 – Publication date: Nov. 28, 2020. Name: ______________________________________________ Phone ______________________________________________ Caption: (Optional) ____________________________________ ____________________________________________________ Donation: _______________ Extra copies: ____________
Remember to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope, if you would like us to return your photo.
Please note that all the photos will be similar in size. For example, if you send a 5x7, it will be the same size in the gallery as an 8x10 or wallet-size submission. Thank you!
