Dear Holy Cross Families,

This week I want to highlight a few special events that will be happening here at Holy Cross as well as summer opportunities for our students.

Athletic Celebration
For all 5th-8th grade athletes and their families: Join us this Sunday, May 1st at 10:30 a.m. for our athletic mass followed by an outdoor celebration of our Crusader athletes. There is still time to RSVP at athletics@holycrosscrusaders.org. Athletics will be providing food from the REAL Grille Food Truck, please let them know if you can provide drinks or desserts.

Celebrate God’s Mercy Concert at Holy Cross Parish
A few years ago, recording artist, songwriter, and author Amanda Vernon came to Holy Cross Parish to perform for our school and parish community.  We are excited to announce that she will return to offer a concert on the theme “Celebrate God’s Mercy” on Sunday, May 15th, at 6:30 pm in the church. Amanda has released eight albums of religious, spiritual, and liturgical music. Her style is described as “soulful pop with gospel and jazz roots.” Be sure to invite family, neighbors, and friends to this special evening of song, prayer, and praise. For more information on Amanda, visit www.amandavernon.com. A free-will offering will be taken at the concert.

South Bend Summer Scholars
The Robinson Community Learning Center is hosting a summer camp in partnership with TutorND and ACE Teaching Fellows! The South Bend Summer Scholars program is for rising 1st-8th graders and includes literacy and math activities with the goal of supporting students' creative thinking, problem-solving, academic development, empathy, and leadership skills. Programs run from June 13-July 20. The registration deadline is April 29, and you can register HERE, or visit rclc.nd.edu for more information and the registration link.

Middle School Science Summer Camp

Eucharistic Procession and Festival
All Holy Cross School families are invited to a family-friendly Eucharistic Procession and Festival on the afternoon of Sunday, June 19, in Warsaw, IN as the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend launches the three-year Eucharistic Revival for the Catholic Church in the United States, renewing devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. The procession will begin at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish at 2:30 p.m. with music and prayer before departing at 3 p.m. on a 2.8 mile route, concluding with Benediction and a festival at Sacred Heart Parish.

Last Sunday we celebrated Divine Mercy Sunday, which Pope Saint John Paul II instituted and added to the liturgical calendar to be celebrated on the Second Sunday of Easter. Even before Sister Faustina’s death in 1938, the devotion to Divine Mercy had begun to spread.  When John Paul II canonized Saint Faustina in 2000, he established Divine Mercy Sunday as a feast day for the worldwide Church.
The message of Divine Mercy that Saint Faustina received from the Lord is simply that God loves us and wants us to recognize that his mercy is greater than our sins. We can call upon God with trust, receive his mercy, and allow that mercy to flow through us to others. In this, we experience God’s joy and assist others to experience that joy as well. The ABC of Divine Mercy is: Ask for God’s mercy, Be merciful, and Completely trust in Jesus… May this eighth day of the Octave of Easter, the Second Sunday of Easter and Mercy Sunday, help us to grow in our trust in God’s great mercy for us through Jesus.
