We will have a Family Mass this Sunday, March 15th at 10:30 a.m. in the HFC. Our next family Mass will be next month, Sunday, April 19th.

Our Gospel this Sunday is the healing of the man born blind from John chapter 9. The scene is a dramatic one involving a rather eventful trial with parents being called in as witnesses and the defendant arguing with the plaintiffs (the Pharisees). The Pharisees ultimately did not care about the defendant and the truth. They were merely trying to discredit Jesus.

Please join us for our next book meeting where we will discuss Life: My Story Through History, by Pope Francis. All are welcome!

We invite you to join us as we gather to pray the Rosary in a beautiful, 30-minute service accompanied by music & candlelight.

Families are invited to take part in this simple and moving prayer service as we follow Jesus along the Way of the Cross. Presented by our parish families, this devotion offers a meaningful way for children and adults alike to enter into the mystery of Good Friday together.

Dear Parishioners, In praying these past several days about the Samaritan woman at the well (our Gospel for this third Sunday of Lent), I’ve had the image of a rose in my mind. Well, actually, it’s two roses I’ve had in mind. I’ve included here a painting by Edouard Manet from 1882 to illustrate what I mean. I picture our Lord and the Samaritan woman as these roses. There is a love being exchanged there, and what greater symbol of love is there than a rose? But these aren’t

Our annual Lenten Fish Fry, hosted by the Knights of Columbus Maria Council #4836 and the St. Paul of the Cross Women’s Club, brought parishioners and families together for an evening of fellowship and delicious food.

Experience a Powerful Encounter with the Holy Shroud, learning about its profound history and significance within the Catholic faith, as we explore its mysteries and the impact it has had on believers worldwide.

Are you a temptation person or transfiguration person? (The temptation was last week, the transfiguration this week in our Lenten readings.)

On February 13, the Serving Our Seniors (SOS) Ministry at St. Paul of the Cross Church hosted a well-attended St. Valentine’s Fellowship Luncheon.

Jesus experiencing temptations in the desert would appear to be a theological conundrum. How could Jesus Christ, the sinless, incarnate Word of God, experience a temptation–something evil?

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Mt 11:28–30

“Everybody plays the fool” is a song from 1972 by the band The Main Ingredient. Aaron Neville remade the song in 1991 (I prefer Aaron Neville’s version). It’s a beautiful tune, but an even more interesting and beautiful way to talk about love, especially having your heart broken. Perchance a fitting reflection for Valentine’s Day weekend? The readings also strike somewhat at this theme: not calling your friend or lover ‘fool’ or raqa, trying to reconcile, staying faithful to

In partnership with Catholic Extension Society, St. Paul of the Cross Parish Community is helping Fr. Victor Ingalls in Mobile, Alabama, so he can keep doing what he loves most-being a priest for God’s people.
