Your oneness with me as I celebrate Mass, without a congregation, is truly felt.  For Palm Sunday I will bless the Palms and they will be available to all parishioners of Holy Cross, San Luis, and St. Ann’s. The palms will be located at Holy Cross Church, you may pick up your palms on Sunday
between 9am and 5pm, enter the church through the side doors and exit the front. 
Please remember to continue social distancing practices while inside the Church. fr. roger

Holy Cross Catholic Church doors remain open during daytime hours
for individual prayer, meditation and reflection during this difficult time. 
There are books, literature and other resources inside the church for Parishioners to utilize. Parishioners are welcome to come and pray,
but please remember to continue social distancing practices while inside the Church.

With vivid and heart-rending meditations on the incredible pain Jesus suffered for our sins, renowned author and speaker Steve Ray walks us through the trials, scourging, mocking, crowning with thorns, way of the cross, and crucifixion. This is a tremendous resource for us to meditate on God’s great sacrificial love for us demonstrated by Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross.
