HC PASTORAL COUNCIL 2016-2017

Correction from Holy Cross Annual General Meeting:

Inserted to this Bulletin is a Corrected “2016 Budget” Report which was part of the Holy Cross Financial Reports included in the Holy Cross Annual General Meeting, April 3, 2016 booklet. On behalf of Pastoral Council and Finance Council, we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Curtis Eberle, Finance Council Chairperson Neil Garchinski, Pastoral Council Chairperson

We pray for the comfort and spiritual healing of Yvonne Ehman, sister of Marlene & Gordon Hoffert and Paulette Robillard, sister of Ruth & Albert Robillard.

As a Community of Faith, today, April 10 at our 5:00 p.m. Mass, we welcome : Kashia Sue Buchinski and Kove Kennedy Henry Bunchinski who are professing their faith and are receiving Full Communion to the Catholic Church; Lillian Laurin Biswas, Dylan John Arthur Egert, Claire Violet Rottiers, and Carbin Bruce Tatemichi who are receiving the Sacraments of First Eucharist and Confirmation. We extend our full support and prayers to all of them, their families and sponsors. May they continue to grow in their faith and in their life nourished by Christ and may they be strengthened and be guided by the Holy Spirit.

THANK YOU , all PARISHIONERS . . .

The Cross presented to me from the Parish and from the Pastoral

Council is a wonderful work of art, and it will always hold special

“Holy Cross” memories for me. I thank you so very much for this gift.

Also, thank you for all your support over the past four years as the

Chair of Pastoral Council. My greatest gift was to have the oppor-

tunity to serve you. And as a church and working together, we

became a strong team!!

Thank you for your prayers and blessings during my recent illness.

It was a disappointment for me not to attend the AGM; however, I

knew Lori and Neil would step-in and do a great job. And as our

new Co-chairs of Pastoral Council , I know they will serve you with

faith, love, and understanding, and with your continued support.

My love and prayers,

Ruth Robillard
