Congratulations to Hugo and Griselle Carvajal, proud parents of Catalina Arelis who was baptised on Sunday July 18th. She became the youngest parishioner of Holy Cross Church. Congratulations to godparents, relatives and friends.
The Sacrament of Baptism is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through this sacrament we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church. As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As Jesus won new life for us on the cross, with the symbol of the cross, Catalina was marked to receive the new life in the Lord. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave new life and lead to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish are asked to help this child to grow in Christian faith.

To fulfill our parish outreach program, as suggested by the Central Diocese, we held a Free Town Picnic inviting community members, parishioners and friends. The Picnic was held on Sunday, June 27th from 12 to 4pm. We had perfect weather which allowed many children to take advantage of the 16 feet water slide from Party Time Rentals, Woodland Park. Children and adults were also entertained by magician, “Simply Magical.” In the parish hall children and adults enjoyed face painting done by our parishioner, Natalie Lazar. We thank her for sharing her time and talent.
We had varieties of homemade ethnic foods, hot and cold and desserts donated by several parishioners. We truly appreciate sharing their culinary talents and their generosity. We thank parishioners who donated paper products. The parish provided hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn, watermelon, green salad, soft drinks and prizes for the children. We thank Dominick Bucci, David Obssuth, Edward Obssuth and the help of Andy Obssuth for preparing hamburgers and hot dogs in the kitchen and outdoor grill. We thank the Galindo Family, Dominick Bucci, George O’Brien, Natalie Cyman for setting up the hall and outdoor tents. We thank all those who supported our parish with free will donations.
