Novena for Pope Francis April 26-May 4
The entire Church mourns the death of the Holy Father, Pope Francis. In cathedrals, basilicas, parish churches, shrines, and chapels the Holy Eucharist will be offered for the repose of his soul. Communities and individuals will ask God to bestow his infinite mercy on the man who served the Church as Bishop of Rome.
This novena has been prepared to help pray for the Pope during the time of mourning. The daily novena – lasting for the novendiales period from April 26 to May 4, 2025 – consists of a short reading from Scripture or some other ecclesiastical text and some brief prayers, including orations drawn from the Roman Missal and the Order of Christian Funerals.

Fr. Danny Murphy 1944-2024 Memorial Mass
It is with profound sorrow and reverence that we announce the passing of our beloved Fr. Danny Murphy. Fr. Danny was called to eternal rest in the late afternoon of December 12, 2024. We are deeply grateful for the many years of faithful service he gave to Holy Cross Catholic Church, and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him.
In keeping with Fr. Danny’s wishes, his funeral Mass was celebrated in his native New York.
His memorial Mass here at Holy Cross Catholic Church was delayed due to the damage the Church sustained from the Hurricane Milton tornado, however, it is now scheduled for Monday, March 24, 2025 at 5:30 p.m.
This Mass will be live-streamed. Check back here for the livestream link.
A reception will take place afterward in the Parish Hall, offering a chance to celebrate Fr. Danny with refreshments, food, and fellowship.
We hope that all parishioners are able to attend.
