Pastor's Reflection
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 10, 2023
Dear Friends,
Here it is! Our Forty Hours opens with the 12 Noon Mass and continues through Tuesday evening. Come and spend some quiet prayer time with Jesus our Lord truly and really present to us in the Most Blessed Sacrament. When we come to Him, we never leave His presence the same way as we came in. He always graces us, one way or another! Adoration visits can be made after the Noon Mass until 7 pm on Sunday. And on Monday / Tuesday, from 7 am to 7 pm (except during the celebration of Mass at 9 am). Jesus waits for you.
Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time, September 3, 2023
Dear Friends,
Every blessing to you and yours on this Labor Day weekend, as summertime activities draw to an end and the hustle and bustle of Fall commands our attention. Holy Cross Regional begins classes this Wednesday. I know several other local schools have already begun classes. May God bless our teachers and students with every gift of the Holy Spirit for a fruitful year of study and growth.

Dear Friends,
I hope you are still looking out for our Two Dollar Sunday! It’s coming to Saint Eleanor soon. Hint: not until after Labor Day weekend. Keep watching.
Many of you know Jean Phillips, not simply by name but personally. She is the Administrative Assistant in our parish office. Jean’s tenure in the office spans eighteen and a half years. She possesses a wealth of information about so many of the things that take place here in the parish. Jean’s service to the clergy, staff, volunteers, and parishioners arises out of her deep faith, extending great care and concern for others. Jean is preparing for retirement, effective October 20, 2023. She will be greatly missed! We wish her every blessing and grace in this new adventure in her life!
