Christ made my soul beautiful with the jewels of faith and vir-tue. I belong to Him whom the angels serve. -Saint Agnes (291-304), Virgin, Martyr, Feast Day January 21

In today’s second reading, St Paul tells the Corinthians (and us) that all of our gifts are from God and that they are giv-en, not for ourselves alone, but for the common good. But the generosity of God knows no limits - the miracle at Cana reminds us that whenever we faithfully do as God asks, He can change our gifts of water into wine!

IN OUR PARISH COMMUNITY

FROM THE DESK OF FR JOHN

We had a productive Finance Council meeting at Holy Cross. Our expenditures are on track with the projections for 2012-2013. Our in-come is a bit behind from last year.

We spent time discussing our school educational en-dowments whose income is ear-marked for subsidies to both Roncalli and St Peter the Fisherman Catholic Schools where students from our parish are attending. The Council approved moving money from a low bear-ing savings account to a higher bearing investment ac-count. With the recommendation of the Parish Pastoral Council and through the efforts of the Building and Maintenance Committee, the Finance Coundil ap-proved expenditures of money for the ringing of our two bells in the steeple and air conditioning church. We talked about on-line giving and also preliminary budget preparation for 2013-2014. There is always very helpful counsel given to contin-ue to move Holy Cross forward financially at our Fi-nance Council meetings. If there is an adult in our parishes who has not been confirmed and would like to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, please call me at the Parish Office 920-755-2550. We will set up a preparation sessions plan for reception of the Sacrament by Bishop Ricken April 13 at St Anne’s.

Hubby: “If I had it to do all over again, do you know whom I’d marry?” Wifey: “No, whom?” Hubby: “You.” Wifey: “That’s what you think.”

SOUPER BOWL SUNDAY In 1990, Rev Brad Smith presented a challenge to his Pres-byterian congregation in South Carolina. He called upon his parishioners to consider all the food and drink they con-sumed on Super Bowl Sunday and to think of those who didn’t even have a bowl of soup to eat. His challenge to them was to bring $1 to church and offer it to those who didn’t have enough to eat. In 2013, the Christian Services Committee invites you to do likewise. Even better, consider bringing a can of soup AND $1 (or more) with you and de-posit in the containers provided at the church entrances. All proceeds will go to TREP. Make Super Bowl Sunday more than a day of extravagance-make it a day of caring! Thank You!

The Knights of Columbus of the local district are planning to have a March for Life on Tuesday, January 22, at 7pm at the St Francis of Assisi Waldo Site in from of Mary’s shrine. You are invited to join in the march and pray with the Knights of Columbus in support of the life of the unborn. This event is being held outside so please come dressed appro-priately.
