Welcome Back Holy Cross families!
We are very excited to begin a new year of faith learning with all of you and look
forward to meeting the new families and students in our faith formation classes.
The ultimate objective of all catechesis (faith formation) is intimacy and communion
with Jesus Christ (National Directory of Catechesis 55). We hope this year that the
students in our program will develop a closer friendship with Jesus through prayer,
instruction and fellowship with their peers and catechists. This intimacy with Jesus however, cannot happen
without the help of our parents. As your child’s primary educator in the faith, you are their most influential
catechist by your words, actions and the experiences that you share as a family. Regular attendance at Mass and
faith formation class will not only help your child understand and appreciate their Catholic faith but it will
nurture their spiritual closeness with Jesus.
We wish you a wonderful new school year and look forward to being a part of your child’s faith journey.
God’s blessings,
Brenda Mears
Faith Formation Director

Children’s Liturgy of the Word begins Sunday, September 25!
Children ages 3 & 4 years old are welcome to participate in Children’s Liturgy of the Word
every Sunday during the 9:00am and 11:00am Masses.
Children’s Liturgy of the Word is a worship experience for children in which they leave the
general assembly for a separate celebration of the Word. Children and their teachers are
called to come forward after the opening prayer when they receive a special blessing from
the priest. They will go to hear the Gospel reading, participate in an activity, prayer and
song. During offertory time, the teachers bring the children back to the assembly.
You do not need to register your child in order for them to participate. Children can participate any time and
parents are always welcome.

Time & Talent Weekend
September 24th & 25th
You are invited to be a Christian Steward and use your God-given gifts. Each household will be receiving a
stewardship booklet in the mail. This book provides information about how you can serve and get involved at
Holy Cross.
There will be a letter inserted in the front of the stewardship booklet reflecting all of the ministries that your
family is currently doing, as recorded in our database (from previous Time & Talent books). It is crucial to our
ministries that we update our database with current information. Please take the time to fill out and return this
letter by September 25th in the basket provided in the church entryway.
If you are not currently involved in any ministries, please prayerfully reflect and ask yourself, “How will I give
back to God this coming year by serving others in His name?”
Please be sure to update us with your email address, as reminder emails will be sent throughout the year.
Thank you for being a good steward of God’s gifts!
Blood Drive at Holy Cross
Find the Hero in You!
Sunday, September 18th
9:15 am - 1:00 pm
Trinity Gymnasium
Why Donate Blood?
You don’t need a special reason to give blood.
You just need your own reason.

Some of us give blood because we were
asked by a friend.

Some know that a family member or a
friend might need blood some day.

Some believe it is the right thing we do.
Whatever your reason,
the need is constant
and your contribution is
important for a healthy
and reliable blood
supply. And you’ll feel
good knowing you've
helped change a life.
Our goal is to get 30 donors, so sign up today!

Cross Talk is published monthly by Holy Cross Catholic
Church in West Fargo, ND. If you would like to submit an item
for publication, please email Heather Heger or drop your news
item off at the church office.
Are you or someone you care about unable to attend
Mass and receive Holy Communion?
There are several communion distributors
who will bring the Lord to you. The
need could be temporary or ongoing. Call
the church and let us know. We will contact
you and determine when is a good time for
us to visit with Communion.
Eucharistic Adoration is every Monday from 9am to 8pm. If
you are interested in becoming a scheduled adorer, one hour per
week, call the parish office for more information.
In Care of the sick Please call the parish office to notify us of
illness in the family. The local hospitals do not call us anymore.
New Members If you wish to become members of Holy Cross,
please contact the parish office (282-7217).
Simplicity Giving A funds transfer service to assist parishioners
to reach their financial stewardship goals. Contact the office
manager for more information.
It must be in house by the 20th of the prior month.
Volunteers
We are always looking for
more people interested in
volunteering for liturgical
ministries. The more
people we have, the less
time they need to serve.
If you are interested in
sharing your time during
the Mass, please call
Heather at 282-7217.
