Eternal Father, In your Goodness,
Grant me the intellect to comprehend you,
the perception to discern you,
and the will to appreciate you.
In your Kindness,
Endow me with the diligence to look for you,
the wisdom to discover you,
and the spirit to apprehend you.
In your Graciousness,
Bestow on me a heart to contemplate you,
eyes to see you, ears to hear you,
and a tongue to speak of you.
In your Mercy,
Confer on me a conversation pleasing to you,
the patience to wait for you,
and the perseverance to long for you.
Grant me a perfect end, your holy presence, Amen.

THE PIVOTAL PLAYERS
Bishop Robert Barron continues his journey around the world to explore a handful of saints, artists, mystics, and scholars who not only shaped the life of the Church but changed the course of Western civilization.

A SLIGHT CHANGE IN CONFESSION SCHEDULE
We are fortunate to have the opportunity for confession every weekday morning, Mon-Fri, before the 7:00 a.m. Mass. That will continue, but instead of the 6:45-6:55 a.m. time slot, confessions will be heard from 6:30 to 6:45 so Fr. Joseph can have time to prepare for the 7:00 a.m. Mass.

FAMILY FORMATION A Whole Family Approach to
Learning and Living the Catholic Faith
The Family Formation Program at Holy Cross serves families with children in Grades K-6. It is a faith formation opportunity for the entire family. Families are supported and encouraged in their efforts to pray, worship, and grow in faith together as a Catholic family.
For families whose children are not enrolled in a Catholic school, Family Formation fulfills the need for religious education and sacramental preparation. However, all families with children in grades K-6 are invited to come and be part of the Family Formation community.
For more information or if you would like to register for this year, please contact Cindy Howie at 352-8748. Deadline for registration is Monday, August 14th.
CHILDREN’S RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
THE CATECHESIS OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is available at Holy Cross. It is an approach to the religious formation of children that is rooted in the Bible, the liturgy of the Church, and the educational principles of Maria Montessori. The children come to an ’atrium’ where they are given the opportunity to independently discover the beauty of the Catholic faith and their role as a part of the body of Christ.
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is offered for preschool children. If you are interested in having your preschooler participate in this exceptional program, please call Cindy Howie at 352-8748.
1ST, 2ND, AND 3RD YEAR CONFIRMATION CLASSES
Confirmation preparation classes for students attending public schools begin soon. Confirmation preparation is a 3-year cycle that typically begins with monthly classes in 6th grade and continues with weekly classes for 7th and 8th grades. The classes will start this September.
Registration forms can be sent to you, or pick one up at the Parish Office. Please return registration forms to the Parish Office by Monday, August 14th. For more information please call the Parish Office at 352-8748.
