RAFFLE
In the last month we have had to call the ambulance
twice during Mass. In both cases the people are doing well. However, I have been thinking about what
we do during emergencies during Mass. I would like
to thank the ushers and the parishioners who
stepped up and helped in both situations. It is good
to know that everyone responded professionally. In
both cases the congregation was also very patient
and understanding. I am sure that the prayers of
the parishioners helped a lot.
There is one thing we need to change. When the
ambulance comes to the Church it parks in the carport area. This means that the carport should be
clear. Nobody should be parking under the carport
during Mass. We have special spaces for those who
need to park closer to the Church. We would ask
you to use the handicap spaces and not park in the
carport. We understand if you need to drop someone off and walk them to the pew, but that shouldn’t
take more than 10 minutes or so. The same is true if
you are going to just run into the office for a couple
minutes during office hours. If you are going to stay
for a while please park in the spaces or on the street.
I hope and pray that we do not have many emergencies, however if we do I want them to be able to get
to where they can help.
Fr. Tom

Holy Cross Parish is planning a special Mass and procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi on Sunday,
June 26, 2011 at the 11:00 am Mass. We are forming
a special choir to lead the music that day. Our focus
will be on the more historical and traditional styles of
Church music. An invitation is extended to anyone
interested to join the choir for this special event. An
organizational meeting will be held Thursday, May 12
at 6:00 pm in Friendship Hall. Music will be available
to pick up at that time. Last year’s Corpus Christi
Mass and procession was a great success, and we are
looking forward to it again this year. Contact Todd
Senzig at 766-3773 for more information.

Holy Cross Parish took a weekly collection for the Warming Shelter during our past Lenten series and we received
the following response from the executive director of the
shelter:
“We wish to express our appreciation for the gift to the Fox
Valley Warming Shelter. Your active support of FVWS is
heartening and helps us continue our work in providing
basic needs to the homeless. We, and especially our guests,
are most grateful for the donation of $605.00. We value
your loyalty and friendship and look forward to your continued support in the future.”
Sincerely,
Fox Valley Warming Shelter, Inc.
The Fox Valley Warming Shelter will be open all
year long for the homeless to give them a safe place to sleep
and get breakfast and an evening meal. They need the shelter in the summer as well as the rest of the year. Some
may be just out of rehab for any of many reasons; and others find themselves in temporary difficulties. Some are veterans trying to adjust after experiencing much death and
violence in wars.
There will be a sign-up for one day each of the
summer months. Again we'll need people to help provide
food for a meal, serve, and four volunteers for the four
shifts during the night into the early morning. The sign-up
will take place May 14/15 after all the masses. Dates we
will help at the shelter are: June7, July 12, Aug.16. We can
all be thankful we are not in a position to need the services
of a shelter yet, anyone there, could have been any on us in
different circumstances. Pray about it and sign up if you
can. Social Concerns Ministry, Holy Cross Parish
Any questions please call Jean Beatty 766-1135.
Pastoral Council Nominations
Do you know someone who loves Holy Cross? Someone that can

Council. The Pastoral Council meets monthly to plan the priorities and direction of the parish. The members are asked to commit to a three year term. New members will be selected from
willing nominees at the 9:15 am Mass on Pentecost Sunday
(Sunday, June 12, 2011). Please contact the Pastoral Council
Chair, Lawrence Ortner at 759-0795.

Faith formation—walking with Jesus
Last Class: Wednesday, May 4, 2011 was the last Faith Formation Class for this school year. The students
gathered on the playground and participated in an exercise/walk-a-thon. The children went to six different areas of activity which included; face painting, jump rope, bean bag toss, hula-hoop, ball toss, and gunny sack
hop. In between each area they took a walk around the block. This event also raised money for the youth ministry here at Holy Cross. Students collected cash donations in reward for them participating in the exercise.
Watch this month’s Cross Current for pictures and more details.
Catholic Men, on Saturday, May 14th Esto-Vir invites you to join us for celebration of the Holy Mass celebrated
by Fr. Patrick Beno and a spiritual talk given by a Catholic convert and former protestant pastor Mr. Michael
Cumbie. We will gather at Nativity Parish in Ashwaubenon at 6:35 am for recitation of the Rosary followed by
Mass and Michael Cumbie’s talk. Be a man – See you there!

Mother's Day Prayer
God our Creator, we pray:
for new mothers, coming to terms with new responsibility ;
for expectant mothers, wondering and waiting;
for those who are tired, stressed or depressed;
for those who struggle to balance the tasks of work and family;
for those who are unable to feed their children due to poverty;
for those whose children have physical, mental or emotional disabilities;
for those who have children they do not want;
for those who raise children on their own;
for those who have lost a child;
for those who care for the children of others;
for those whose children have left home;
and for those whose desire to be a mother has not been fulfilled.
Bless all mothers, that their love may be deep and tender,
and that they may lead their children to know and do what is good,
living not for themselves alone, but for God and for others.
Amen.
