editor — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 08:03:20 +0000

Everyone is cordially invited to celebrate SantaKruzan/Flores de Mayo on May 12, 2012. Mass will be celebrated at 4:30 pm, followed by a procession. Children who wish to participate may contact Agnes Macadangdang at agnesdm@comcast.net or Marivic Matias at mpmatias@pacbell.net.

Santa Kruzan comes from the word “Santa Kruz” which means “Holy Cross.” The festivity commemorates the search of the Holy Cross by Queen Helena (Reyna Elena) and her son, Constantine. The Holy cross is believed to have been the Cross of Christ in Calvary. St. Helena died asking all Christians to celebrate the discovery of the Cross every May.

Scripture Class

Lent is a call not just to “give up something” but more important to “give something for the poor.” Wherever you live in the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in need, they come to the Parish Office. They are, in effect, ringing your doorbell. Each week our St. Leander Conference of the Society of the St. Vincent de Paul feeds the poor in our community. This month they are in need of peanut butter and jelly or jam, macaroni & cheese, pork & beans, canned fruit, and canned pasta.
