Prayer for Pope Francis
Bishop Barbarito has called upon all the faithful to pray for the health and well-being of Pope Francis. Let us join together in prayer, seeking God’s grace and healing for our Holy Father.
The USCCB has provided the following prayer:
O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
Grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Pre-Campaign Survey
In October, we began a Pre-Campaign Study to determine the thoughts and opinions of Holy Cross Parish on conducting a capital campaign to address the beautification and structural needs of the Church, especially following the tornado damage. Since then, our consulting firm, Ruotolo Associates, Inc., has conducted over 30 personal interviews and three focus groups. The next phase of the study is this online survey which is being sent to ALL of our supporters.
We invite you to participate in this survey. The results of this study are essential to determine how we will proceed with the Campaign, and your involvement in this planning process will be greatly appreciated.
Please complete the following survey by midnight on Thursday, December 19th. And be assured all answers to your questions will be sent directly to Ruotolo Associates and held in the strictest confidence: Please use the following link to access the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/holycross
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact Cheryl Flynn at cflynn@holycrossverobeach.org.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Rev. Thomas E. Barrett
Pastor
