My dear Parishioners,

It was a magnificent celebration — last Sunday, when the

parish came together to celebrate Eucharist, bless our new

building and Marian Prayer Garden, and picnic together!

Fr. Robert Joerger, our Passionist Provincial, delivered a

moving homily on the meaning of “Father’s Day” that

touched many hearts, and blessed the building and garden.

Bishop Wamika of Uganda honored us with his presence,

and among our guests were beloved Fr. Michael Greene,

C.P. and Fr. Benedict Wakabi also of Uganda. Our bilingual

celebration of the Eucharist was among the best we have had

here at St. Paul of the Cross, reverential and enthusiastic!

I want to thank everyone who made this wonderful day

possible—the liturgy, the blessing, the picnic. So many of

you lent your hands, your heart and your talents to the events

of the day! It was such a joy to see everyone working

together so beautifully, and to enjoy the benefits as I and so

many others did. As the saying goes, “You made our day!”

Thank you. A special word of thanks to all who worked

behind the scenes, including those who set up and took

down the picnic area. “We have to do this again,” many

said. “Yes, but not too soon,” I said. First, let everyone

relax and enjoy the summer. You deserve it. Meanwhile,

the Parish Council and I will scan the calendar for a fall date

for our next big parish get-together.

—Fr. Jerome, C.P.

El mensaje del pastor

Mis queridos Hermanos, Fue una magní fica celebracio n - el Domingo pasado, la parroquia se reunio para celebrar la Eucaristí a, la ben-dicio n de nuestro nuevo edificio y el Jardí n de Oracio n Mariana, y el picnic juntos! P. Robert Joerger, nuestra Pasionista Provincial, presento una homilí a conmovedora sobre el significado del "Dí a del Padre" que toco muchos corazones. Luego procedio con la bendicio n del edificio y el jardí n. El Obispo Wamika de Uganda, nos honro con su presencia, y entre nuestros invitados estaban el muy querido P. Michael Greene, C.P. y el P. Benedict Wakabi tambie n de Uganda. Nuestra celebracio n bilingu e de la Eucaristí a fue una de las mejores que hemos tenido aquí en San Pablo de la Cruz, reverente y entusiasta! Quiero agradecer a todos los que hicieron posible este dí a maravilloso, la liturgia, la bendicio n, el picnic. Muchos de ustedes brindaron sus manos, sus corazones y sus talentos a los acontecimientos del dí a! Fue una alegrí a ver a todos trabajando juntos de una manera cordial, y de disfrutar de los beneficios que yo y tantos otros disfruta-ron. Como dice el refra n, "Me alegraron el dí a!" Gracias. Un especial agradecimiento a todos los que trabajaron detra s de escenario, incluidos esta n los que recogieron y acomodaron todo al final del picnic. "Tenemos que hacer

esto de nuevo", muchos dijeron. "Sí , pero no demasiado pronto," les dije. En primer lugar, dejemos que todos nos relajemos y disfrutemos del verano. Se lo merecen. Mien-tras tanto, el Consejo Parroquial y yo vamos a revisar el calendario y ver una fecha en oton o para nuestro pro xi-mo gran encuentro parroquial.

“...Háganse

servidores los

unos de los otros

por amor…”
