Thanksgiving (May & Don Chan) 7:30pm Deceased: Dear Parishioners, Lucia & Antonio Lemme (Daughter Carmela) I was sitting on my patio the other day, enjoying Special Intentions: the warmth of the sun and taking in the beauty Allen Philips (Family) of my surroundings – green grass (still), different Sat. 9:00am +Madalena & Pasquale Natola (Dina Natola) varieties of trees swaying in the breeze and the 5:00pm +Mary Separovich (Larry & Mary Crema) colorful array of flowers – and my mind wandered Sun. 8:00am +Gino & Mary Rigazzi (Van Essen Family) to the Reading of Genesis describing “Creation”. 10:00am Sp. Int. 50th Wedding Anniversary Doreen & At the end of each day, God would sit back, relax, survey His work Amedeo Merlo (Family) and say: “God saw that it was good”. It truly made me ponder and 12 Noon +Souls in Purgatory (Harwood & Faria Families) appreciate those words. 7:30pm Sp. Int. Teteng (Family) Over these next two months, July and August, things are winding July 20 - 26, 2015 down. For example, here at Holy Cross, our School is closed and Mon. 9:00am Sp. Int. Victoria Chatto (Morris Family) the majority of our Ministries are also finished until September. Now is the time to unwind and enjoy the moments. For many it is Tues. 9:00am +Mark Baldonero (Family) the chance to spend quality time with family and friends; perhaps Wed. 9:00am Sp. Int. Carmel & James Harrington (Family) touch base with forgotten acquaintances, or take that long-awaited Thurs. 9:00am +Giuseppe Guttadauro (Giuseppina) getaway. Even our good Lord relaxed and was thankful on the Fri. 9:00am +Thomas Hoi Lam Kong (Family) seventh day. 7:30pm Deceased: Alma & Michael Gomes (Family) We all need this time – a time to relax, reconnect and rejuvenate. Maria & Hank Vandrunen (T. Giannelli) Our lives are so filled with achievement, commitment and Special Intentions: expectations. When do we really “stop and smell the roses”? Allen Philips (Family) Alba & May (Danny & Lanny) My dear parishioners . .this is my hope for all of us over the next Sat. 9:00am Sp. Int. Federico (Family) two months . that we do take the time to enjoy what life has to offer us, no matter how great or how small; but most importantly, 5:00pm +Baby Inglis (James & Tanya) at the end of the day, we can truly say….“it was good”. Sun. 8:00am +Sister Piereaugusta Bosa (Terragni Family) 10:00am +Sanu Lupchai (Mrs. Yee) Wishing you all a Great Summer and God Bless… 12 Noon +Sixto Velasco & Pura Burguete (Chit & Ria) 7:30pm +Luigina D’Elia (Family) Fr.
