Beauty & The Beast
Week of July 29 - August 2
This enchanted week will include our favorite trip to the
beach to build the beast’s castle and a trip to the library for
some fairytale fun! We’ll have a splendid feast at Mr
Dominic’s and we’ll travel to Mendon Ponds Park to
explore the trails and wildlife. We don’t have a tower to
climb so we’ll head to Rock Ventures to learn about
climbing and cooperation. We’ll also learn about candlemaking and have our faces painted as a beauty or a beast,
and there may be some animal visitors for us to explore.
To end our week, we’ll make a fancy lunch and you will “Be
Our Guest” at the Royal Ball.

The Casino Tent is in need of booth captains, dealers and
workers. The Money Wheel, Over and Under, and Chucka-Luck each need a captain to manage the booth all three
nights. They are easy booths and games to manage.
Each captain is responsible for staffing their booth and
making sure the nights are covered with a sufficient
number of workers. The casino staff provides each
captain with operational support during all three nights of
the festival. Without captains these
games will not be opened, so we need
YOU! We also are looking for Black Jack
and Let it Ride dealers. Training will be
provided.
The Casino tent provides over 1/3 of the profit for the
entire festival so it is a vital part of the overall success.
Please contact Rich @ 545-6672 (w) or 749-6885 (cell)
for more information. You can also call the parish office
@ 663-2244. Thank you in advance for your help.
Needed: 2013 Festival Workers

Ensure that Our Actions
are Based on His Commands
All Holy Cross Bakers: We Need You!
Since the time of Augustine the story of Martha and Mary
has often been interpreted as a commentary on the
difference between the active and contemplative life-with
the contemplative winning out. It’s hard to imagine that a
Gospel such as Luke’s, so filled with stories of
compassion and assistance, would profess that view. It is
Luke’s Gospel that includes the story of the good
Samaritan, the classic example of active love of neighbor.
Maybe a better way for us to understand the story of
Martha and Mary is this: Mary’s example is a reminder
that we must clearly hear what Jesus is teaching. We cannot just run about acting as we always have. Rather, we
need to take his teaching to heart, and in that way ensure
that our actions are based on his commands.
Theme Baskets for the Festival
©2013 Liturgical Publications Inc
Do you have a special cake recipe or baked
treat? Please plan on sharing it during our
Parish Festival. Every year our cake
booth does a booming business...we
don’t want to run out of baked goods!
Your contribution will make this year’s festival successful
and delicious!
Theme baskets are a fun, successful way to raise money.
There are so many theme possibilities...start thinking today
and gather items for your basket creation. The baskets will
be on display for all the nights of the festival and the
drawing for each basket will take place on Saturday
evening.

Holy Cross Church, Rochester, New York
Parents: The First Promoters of Vocations
July 21, 2013
By Carlos Sanchez
There are two important
elements you can consider: first of all you have to
pray for an increase in
vocations to the priesthood and consecrated
life. Jesus says in Matthew 9:38 “to beg the
master of the harvest to send laborers into the vineyard.”
If we want more priests, sisters and brothers, we all need
to ask, and secondly, you have to teach young people how
to pray. Pope Benedict XVI said that unless we teach our
youth how to pray, they will never hear God calling them
into a deeper relationship with Him and into the
discipleship of the Church.
As a parent, you have the responsibility to cultivate an
attitude of service in your children by responding as a
family to the needs of others, and to find opportunities to
affirm the gifts and talents of your children, and help them
relate their gifts to various career and life choices
(including priesthood and religious life).
“St. John Vianney was the fourth of eight brothers. Like many other saints, St. John came from
very Christian parents. His father owned a farm and his mother was a native of the village of
Ecully, located close to the city of Lyons, France. Since childhood his parents would take him
to the farm where he learned to be a shepherd. In these long hours of work, he received the
conviction to be a Priest. He said to himself: “If I’m a Priest I can win many souls for God.”
He shared this thought with his mother, who offered her support, but his father gave him great
struggles. Two years passed before his father accepted his son’s inspiration to be a Priest.”
It is a challenge today to create a
culture of vocation that will encourage
and assist our youngest members to
respond to God’s call. As a parent, you
can perform no higher undertaking than
to be an example of the Catholic faith
and to establish a culture of vocation in
your home.
As a father and mother, you want what is best for your
children, but you may not be sure of what to do if your son
or daughter mentions the possibility of the priesthood or
religious life.

Blood Drive
In August we are hoping to have our
second Blood Drive. Each blood
drive saves many, many lives and
the need is huge. We are looking for a senior in high
school to (with help) organize this. The American Red
Cross offers a college scholarship for any senior who
coordinates and has a successful drive for this very
worthy cause. The scholarship comes in handy for books
or the many other expenses that occur.
End of July . An Overnight Service Experience
A great way to earn service hours out in the community.
We will be staying in the Bethany House of the Srs of St
Joseph's and be directed by them. (Limited number can
attend, so let me know now if you'd like more information
about this new opportunity.)
Week of Sun, July 28 thru Sun, Aug 4 . Festival
Especially need strong, hard working people to set up and
take down. Don't forget anyone can make a gift basket to
be raffled off. Try putting together a family game night
basket or a hair care basket...the ideas are endless.
