FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
Dear Parishioners,
In a previous bulletin, I thanked the individuals
and families that contributed to our 2015 Project
Advance Campaign.
Below is the letter of gratitude we received from
Archbishop J. Michael Miller as well as a look
ahead to this year’s campaign. Your continuous generosity and
support are evident in the pride you take in looking after not
only the needs of your own parish, but extending it to the outside
community as well. I look forward to our renewed efforts in this
year’s Project Advance!
God Bless,
Fr. Maciej Wos, SDS
Pastor
FROM THE ARCHBISHOP OF
VANCOUVER
Dear Father Maciej:
I would like to express my gratitude to you and your parishioners
for a successful Project Advance 2015 appeal. It is evident that
you and your parish leadership team worked diligently to
encourage your parishioners to “Live gratefully, give generously.”
Your parish met its share of the Archdiocesan goal of $3,000,000
which helps to meet the capital needs and the charitable works
of our Archdiocese. As well, over $3.7 million was returned to
parishes. Your parish received a total of $36,507.64, which I hope
helped address some of your specific needs.
As we begin preparations for Project Advance 2016, the
Archdiocesan goal remains $3,000,000. Parish goals have been
reviewed, as they are annually, and given the seismic challenges
we face, we have decided once again that for 2016, parish goals
will remain the same as they were in 2015. Therefore, the goal for
Holy Cross Parish for 2016 remains $55,000.
Thank you for your continued cooperation and your leadership
in making our annual Project Advance Appeal a fruitful
endeavour, which furthers the evangelizing mission of the
Church.

40-HOURS DEVOTION will be held in our Parish from
Wednesday, March 02 till Friday, March 04. On Wednesday, the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed in the main church,
while on Thursday and Friday we will use the Adoration chapel
(Children’s Room) to adore Jesus present in the Sacrament of the
Eucharist. I strongly encourage you to come and spend “quality
time” in private prayer with our Blessed Lord.
In the foyer of the church, there are sign-up sheets for you to enter an appropriate time for your visit. This ensures us that there
will always be someone in the church during these days of the
exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
-- Fr. Maciej
