Parish Mission - Signed and Sealed with the Cross

As early as the third century, Christians started to sign themselves with a cross. Eighteen centuries later, we continue the practice of making the sign of the cross when we start to pray, when we celebrate the sacraments, and when we enter a church. Done so often and usually out of habit, has this ancient gesture lost its meaning for us?


Over three nights, Fr. Albert Hasse, OFM, will lead us in a parish mission titled "Signed and Sealed with the Cross." We will explore the identity of our God proclaimed in the ancient gesture of being signed with a cross. We will also explore the challenges and responsibilities we accept when we seal our lives with the sign of our salvation. 

Join us on September 13, 14, and 15 at 6:30 pm in the sanctuary for Liturgy of the Word followed by Fr. Albert's talk. Light snacks will be served in the Christus Center each evening starting at 6 pm. On Sept. 14 we will not have evening Mass.
