Beverly Kingston – Holy Cross Catholic Parish

6-week Formation Series on Lectio Divina Starts on Tuesday, October 11th!

Participants will read an introductory primer on this ancient way of praying with Scripture and discuss a chapter of it together each week.

Participants do not have to be present each week–please engage as you are able!

Dates: Tuesdays, @ 7pm, Oct 11-Nov 15

Location: Holy Cross Parish (back of church)

Resource: Lectio Divina by Basil Pennington (participants can borrow a copy from the leaders or buy one here)

Leaders: John Deguara and Matthew Insley

Altar Servers Needed

We wish to reinstate the ministry of altar servers at our Saturday evening and Sunday Masses.

Altar servers not only assist the priest during the Mass but, more importantly, add a sense of solemnity and dignity to the Mass.
Since it has been quite a while since we’ve had servers, we are going to begin by training older servers, junior high through high school,
who will then assist in eventually training and guiding the younger servers. In addition, we invite adults and families to serve at the Masses.
Parents would be able to guide their younger children in serving. How wonderful it would be to see families with children together serving at our Masses!

If you are interested in participating in this ministry, please contact the Parish Office @ 574-233-2179 or Father Jim with your contact information, your age(s), and which Mass you
would like to serve. Father Jim will schedule a couple of training sessions for the convenience of those who volunteer for this ministry.
