What is a CRHP Retreat?

It is 30 hours of Spiritual Renewal planned and conducted by a group of fellow parishioners who have experienced the same successes and failures, highs and lows, good and bad times that you may have. Their sharing is from the heart it is real and meaningful.

It is a 30 hour interactive event. You have the opportunity to internalize, communicate, and share on each topic as you see fit and are comfortable during the weekend.

It is a relaxed and comfortable setting. There is no pressure to do anything other than listen; the only emphasis is on being yourself.

The team conducting the weekend have attended a weekend themselves. They understand your perspectives as attendees and are totally committed to support, serve, and respond to your needs, both spiritual and personal throughout the weekend.

You will establish a closer relationship with Jesus......... you will also establish a close relationship with your fellow retreatants and gain life-long friends.

Register today and come join us for a Spiritual Renewal Weekend Registration forms are available in the Parish Center foyer. or CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

Fr. John's January Update

Dear friends in Christ,

Let me start by wishing all of you another new year of blessings! We begin the month of January by honoring Mary as the Mother of God, imploring her to intercede for us.

I would also like to thank you for your generous support of our parish and for the constancy of your devotion to our faith. You have been a great source of inspiration and consolation to me throughout the years. Please know of my tremendous gratitude for all you do.

Today, we press the “play” button and plunge right into action. We are setting out to accomplish a great many wonderful works Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam (AMDG), “For the greater glory of God,” as St. Ignatius taught.

Thank you to those who have already responded so generously to Campaign 2.0. Our collective contributions will ensure the continued growth of our community as a source of the true peace that can be found only in Jesus Christ.

Please mark your calendars with the following dates:

Sunday, 16 January 2022, is the celebration of the 4^th Anniversary of the Dedication of Our Church. During the 11 a.m. Mass, we will honor Misty Huff, our business manager, with the Spirit of Holy Cross Award for her dedication to her ministry and to our parish. We will be blessed to have with us Julianne Wallace, Director of Apostolic Mission and Charism for the Congregation of Holy Cross, to mark this special occasion. Julianne is the resource person to help us move forward in both the mission and charism of the Holy Cross family. We will also be joined by Fr. John DeRiso, Director of Vocations for the Province of the Brothers and Priests of Holy Cross, USA.

Monday, 17 January 2022, Fr. John DeRiso will give a presentation in the church at 7 p.m. I cordially invite all of you to come and benefit from this time together in anticipation of the Feast of Fr. Moreau, founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, which falls on Thursday, 20 January.

Sunday, 23 January 2022, is the Third Sunday of Ordinary Time, also celebrated as the Sunday of the Word (Bible Sunday). I wish to take this time to congratulate all who joined me in listening to The Bible in a Year podcast which ran from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. We will be distributing certificates to all who accomplished this great feat. I am very proud of the more than 500 people of our parish who joined me in this mission, completing 365+ episodes of the Bible and listening to more than 9,000 minutes of God’s Word being spoken to them. By so doing, they have greatly enriched their souls, allowing God to transform them. This was truly a life-changing journey for those who remained faithful.

As you make your New Year’s resolutions, I urge to please consider joining The Bible in a Year podcast sponsored by Ascension Press and hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz by going to www.ascensionpress.com. Better still, go to St. John’s website, www.stjohnviera.org, and click on the place indicated under the photo of Fr. Mike.

Friday, 28 January 2022, is yet another day for celebrating our 4^th Anniversary. St. John’s will be hosting a special concert by King’s Cadence Men’s Gospel Quartet at 7 p.m. in the church. Please bring your family and friends.

Sunday, 29 January 2022: The Diocese has assigned Fr. Selvaraj from India to be our annual Mission Co-Op speaker during all Masses again this year, giving us the opportunity to share in the life of those in need.

Please know that you are in my prayers!

Be Blessed!

Love,

Fr. John
