Dear Parishioners of Holy Cross,
Today we celebrate the 5th Sunday in Ordinary.
Here are the Announcements for this week:
- All the priests of the Diocese of Rockford will be at their annual clergy conference this week from Monday thru Wednesday. Please pray for all of us. Instead of Masses on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, our deacons will graciously be leading communion services. If there is an emergency and someone needs a priest for an anointing, call the office and we will make sure a priest can see you or your loved one.
- The next Youth Ministry night is February 16th from 6:15-8pm.
- Come join Deacon Greg & Jackie Norris for an evening of stories and reflection on Thursday, February 13th in Donovan Hall from 7:00 to 8:30 pm as they TALK THE WALK – WALKING THE CAMINO FRANCES, THE WAY OF ST JAMES.
- Join Enriching Lives Card Ministry in creating Valentine Day Cards for senior residents in nearby care facilities. All the while you can enjoy Red Punch and Valentine cookies. We hope to see you in Donovan Hall tomorrow: Sunday, Feb 9th.
- The Altar Server Ministry is open to boys and girls (5th grade and older) whose families are registered in the parish. Training sessions for new Altar Servers will be held in Holy Cross Church on Sundays in February. Click here for details.
- The Holy Cross library would like to invite all parishioners to our upcoming book fair the week of February 23-28. Call the school office with questions (630) 593-5290.
God bless you all!
In Christ Jesus,
Fr. Connor Orabutt
