MONSIGNOR DERMOT BROSNAN, PROCLAMATION PRESENTATION
Today during Mass we held the Proclamation presentation for Monsignor Brosnan. Monsignor Brosnan dedicated his life to counseling, mediation and youth activities which rapidly grew into a full time ministry for him. To address this growing need Msgr. Brosnan requested and was granted authorization by the Archdiocese to devote his time exclusively to working with persons addicted to various substances. The Proclamation will be on display for a couple of weeks.
HOLY CROSS PARTNERS WITH ST. JOHN BOSCO TO READ THE POLAR EXPRESS
Holy Cross’ Director of Instructional Technology, Allen Bordelon read to several classes at St. John Bosco today. An alumnus of St. John Bosco, Mr. Bordelon enjoys reading The Polar Express to the elementary kids every year. He also shows the kids his Polar Express train set.
FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE MASS & REENACTMENT
Today, the Holy Cross Campus Ministry students reenacted the Vision of Juan Diego of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The Senior and 8th Grade girls were able to go and pray before Our Lady and leave red roses at the Grotto.
In 1999, Pope John Paul II declared the date of December the 12th as a Liturgical Holy Day for the whole continent. During the same visit Pope John Paul II entrusted the cause of life to her loving protection, and placed under her motherly care the innocent lives of children, especially those who are in danger of not being born.
She is the Patroness of the Unborn and The Americas and her feast day is celebrated on December 12th.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, help us to remain faithful to your Son, even through our struggles. Renew in us a greater respect for life, especially for unborn children. Draw us constantly closer to your loving heart, where you comfort and care for us. Amen.
In your prayers please remember Cuca Villela who died on Monday, December 8, 2014. Mrs. Villela is the mother of Miguel Villela ’05, Noah Villela ’16 and Melissa Villela.
