Their task is to proclaim the good news of salvation, not only to the people of Israel, but to all the nations. God's love and gift of salvation is not just for a few, or for a nation, but it is for the whole world, for all who will accept it. The gospel is the power of God, the power to forgive sins, to heal, to deliver from evil and oppression, and to restore life. Believe in the power of the gospel.

Bishop Barron offers inspiring insights into the mystery of Christ's presence in our lives and the centrality of the Eucharist as an important part of that presence. This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God, and the Real Presence of Christ. New members are welcome!

3 May 7, 018 Page #6 A Message From Bishop O Connell In Monmouth and Ocean counties this Memorial Day Weekend, we are all encouraged to love one another as we celebrate the sacrifices made for our freedoms. At a time when division, polarization and prejudice seem to taint our society anew, we need to look deeply into our hearts again to renew our commitment to the freedoms that are ours to own, and to share together as neighbors. Hatred is the antithesis of our national heritage and our national motto E pluribus, unum... out of many, one. It is also the antithesis of the cause of freedom for which those brave women and men, whose memory we honor this weekend, sacrificed and laid down their lives. Let us pray for peace in our nation and for those brave women and men who gave their lives in service to our country. Thank You From Project Paul Dear Parishioners, Project Paul has been providing food, clothing and homelessness prevention services to the needy in the Bayshore area of Monmouth County for 0 years.

Church Security Committee Consider joining our newly forming Church Security Committee which will develop plans and supervise preparedness for emergencies of various types. Individuals with backgrounds in law enforcement, risk management, security, health care and first responders will make particularly valued contributions to our faith community. But security expertise is not necessary, we also need volunteers to monitor our church entrances during services. The Committee will work closely with local and state law enforcement and emergency preparedness teams to ensure that Holy Cross Church has clear communication policies and sensible protocols for emergencies. If you are able to help us, especially if you worship at Holy Cross, please call the Parish Office and express your willingness to serve on this committee. Holy Cross Vocation Chalice The Holy Cross Vocation Chalice is a great opportunity for families to pray together to promote vocations. Just take the chalice home, place it in a prominent place and pray for vocations. Prayers are included with the chalice. Return the chalice after a week for the next family to take home. If your family would be interested in participating, please call the Parish Office, or fill out a form on the parish website.
