Fr. Kevin F. Novack, Pastor
Week of March 7, 2010
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.. Rom 8: 38-39
Every celebration of the
Eucharist is a share in
the cross of Christ, a
proclamation of his death
until he comes again.
Therefore, the Church
desires a crucifix to be
placed in every sanctuary
as reminder of this saving
event. From the time of
our renovation in 2006 we
have planned to have a
sanctuary crucifix. This
has finally come to
fruition with the
installation and blessing
of the cross that took
place Saturday, August 1
-- the thirtieth
anniversary of the
founding of the parish.
The cross is collaborative
effort by Tim Vinci, a
craftsman who took a
donated plank and
fashioned it into a cross
with inserts, Cathy
Valenzuela, a fused-glass
artist who created the
iridescent ruby glass
inserts, and myself, who
painted the figure of
Christ within the area Tim
routed out on the main
cross upright. The piece
was designed to accent our
worship environment, and
to call to mind the great
mystery of our faith. I
invite you to step into
the sanctuary some time
and look at the cross more
closely. May it help us to
experience more deeply
what Our Lord has done for
all.
