And, a special thanks to Fr. Scott for providing the
additional meetings for theological clarification of
questions and answers.
Here is what some of the participants had to say
about their Awakening Faith experience ...
“I enjoyed the group discussions
and found them very informative.
It opened my eyes to why we do
what we do as a “church”.”
Thank you to all the Awakening Faith
participants for making this program a true
success. Kudos and many thanks to the
following Group Leaders for their special
insight and guidance which made the
program so meaningful:
Peg Mallin and Donna Scarpelli
Paul DeSante
Bruce Kobal and Dan Dewey
Bob and Peg McCrarey
Skip Simmons and Sr. Linda Fusco
Al Hannibal
John and Maureen Donnelly
Chuck and Sylvia Smith
Nancy Sarnowski
Rosanne Tupek and Melanie Lion
“Sharing experiences, meeting
new people, breaking down the
different aspects of church/faith
and giving me something to
think about.”
“Helping me develop a deeper
understanding of my faith.
An understanding that was much
more meaningful.”
With gratitude,
Chris DeSantis
Coordinator of Awakening Faith Program at Holy
Cross Church

30 HOUR FAMINE CANDLE CEREMONY
Participating teens learned at the candle ceremony on
May 6th that each candle represented a child. There
were a total of 340 candles and every 3.5 seconds a
candle was blown out representing a child that dies
from preventable causes. In 20 minutes, with a child
dying every 17 seconds, a total of 340 children had
died. The one candle lit at the end represented the
child they saved through the efforts of the donations
they collected.
With additional donations filtering in, the Holy Cross
Teens group collected a total of $1,669.39, which
means they helped feed a child for 4 years and 209
days!
