The Holy Cross of Christ

Third Sunday of Lent

Dear parishioners,

During this season of Lent, we contemplate the cross of Christ, as we know it is the means of our salvation.  It is the means of our salvation because Jesus himself took all of our sins with Him that day, and they were nailed with Him on the cross.

On this Third Sunday of Lent, we are invited to repent of our sins.  This is the first step in accepting the gift of salvation from our God.  I would encourage you to take the time in the days and weeks ahead and make a good examination of conscience and then celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Lent.  We will have Lenten Reconciliation Services with individual confessions during the week of March 14th.  Details will be in the bulletin.  Come and experience the mercy of God!

In Christ the Lord,

Fr. David Mulholland

Pastor

"My eyes are ever fixed on the Lord, for he releases my feet from the snare.  O look at me and be merciful, for I am wretched and alone."
