Dear Parishioners,
Hello Everyone! My name is Fr. Tom Bales and I will be helping at Holy Cross while Msgr. Brodeski is away.
I’m sure you are still confounded by what has taken place and would like to know what is going on. You
know as much a I do. What we can do, is be open to God and trust Him, and pray for Monsignor.
I have had some experience in the Valley, as my first assignment was at Holy Angels in Aurora. After that, I
moved to St. Patrick Parish in St. Charles. We’re talking 1974‐1980 here and Batavia was a little city to the
north. What happened? Where did all you people come from? It’s unbelievable, Randall Road was a
quick shot north with three stop signs. One thing you can’t count on in life is knowing what’s around the
next corner. That’s probably what you’re experiencing now in light of these recent events. Just keep pray‐
ing and I’m sure things will work out.
If there is anything I can do for you during my stay let me know, although I am limited not knowing how long I’ll be here.
Congratulations to all the children who received Our Lord on Saturday for the first time, what a beautiful day for them and for
the parish!
Go Bears!
Fr. Tom
P.S. Join us for the monthly Festival of Praise (FOP) this Monday, May 5th at 7:00PM in the church.
VOCATIONS CORNER: WHAT IF I’M STUCK? by Fr. Keith
Romke, Vocations Director, Diocese of Rockford
Sometimes in life we’re not sure where we are supposed
to go, and at other times we don’t even know where we
currently are! In these moments it can be difficult to
make any choices, because we become afraid of making
wrong decisions. As a result we can tend to sit back and
wait for something to happen, rather than boldly trusting
that so long as we are seeking to do God’s will, He will
help us to achieve it! Let’s put it this way, if we truly give
our best effort to discerning God’s will, why would He not
honor that by guiding us along the path that truly is His
will? In other words, if in striving to do God’s will we
make the right decisions, then God will bless this and give
us the grace that we need to continue. If, on the other
hand, in seeking to do God’s will we drift off from the
path that He intends for us, He will certainly do what He
needs to do to guide us back onto the right path. He’ll
never leave us hanging as long as we are intentionally try‐
ing our best to follow Him. So, if you are afraid to take
the next step in your life, whatever you feel it might be,
have courage that as long as you have prayed about it,
and as long as there is a sense of peace surrounding the
decision, there is no need to fear. One way or another,
God will use that step to eventually lead you to Him.
Take that step!
On that note, right now is the time that many students
are planning on what they will do next year. This is the
perfect time to mention to young men and women that
they should pray about considering a call to the priest‐
hood or religious life!

hurting from a past abortion? God has forgiven them already.

look into the next Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat from May 2nd – 4th,
sponsored by the Diocese of Joliet. Contact Kay at 1‐866‐99‐4‐GIVE

‐SPIRITUAL ADOPTION UPDATE...EIGHTH MONTH AFTER
CONCEPTION...You're in the homestretch with your spiritually adopt‐
ed baby. All of the organs that were developed by the 8th week are
now basically completely formed. The baby is just gaining weight
now and making the mother uncomfortable with his or her size. An
interesting detail about this time of development is that the eyes are
usually blue, regardless of the permanent color. The final formation
of eye pigment or color usually happens a few weeks after birth. In
a short time the baby will be born. The mother has planned to bring
him or her home, or place the baby for adoption. Either way, she
knows she can receive the assistance she needs from the Catholic
Church and from crisis pregnancy centers. The prayers you have said
for this baby and his or her mother have certainly been appreciated
and helpful. It hasn't been easy, but your prayers have given the
baby's mother the grace to seek the help she has needed through‐
out the pregnancy. We will be having a "baby shower" for our
babies in May. Look for details.
ENRICHING LIVES MINISTRY ‐ Comfort the Afflicted
Our Mission: The mission of the Enriching Lives Ministry is twofold.

ST. MICHAEL BEREAVEMENT MINISTY ‐ Bury the Dead
A thought to ponder ~ Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ.
~ 2 Peter 3:18
We have been enriched by God's amazing gifts of love and wonder
recently with Easter Sunday, Divine Mercy Sunday, the Canonizations
of two new Saints, Confirmation and the First Holy Communion of
our youngsters. God has truly opened His heart for us in profoundly
beautiful ways as He has filled our hearts, minds and souls with His
mercy, forgiveness and joy! Through all of these beautiful liturgies,
we have had the opportunity to grow and nurture our faith during
this marvelous rebirth of Spring. With our young First
Communicants, let us reaffirm that the Holy Eucharist is the source
and summit of our faith and prayer life as Catholics. The Eucharist is
truly the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ!
What a magnificent gift He has given us for all time, and most espe‐
cially in the celebration of Holy Mass! We are invited daily to enter
into this sacred mystery as we worship and give thanks to Him for
His goodness, grace and mercy! We are also very blessed with His
presence in our Adoration chapel. Stop by for a visit with Him!
This beautiful quotation unites all of us in our common love and pur‐
pose:
You and I will always meet at this table of remembrance ~
while you are absent or at another Eucharistic community.
You are always in our hearts; and we do meet, we do remember,
and we do go on. That's the strength and the power of our
tradition as a Eucharistic community, that we have this power
to transcend physical presence, but always to meet in the
heart.
~ Msgr. Robert Hoffman
Thank you, Msgr. Hoffman, for walking with us while you were with
us on your earthly journey!
This week let us pray for the repose of Msgr. Hoffman's soul and for
all of our deceased priests. We could not have received the Holy
Eucharist or any of the Sacraments without the gifts of their holy
vocations and their sacred hands! May God grant them their eternal
rest and reward!
What transformation can happen in our lives when we fully realize
that Jesus is with us in the breaking of the bread...go forth and share
some of who you really are with others through your love and com‐
passionate care! Do allow your Easter transformation to continue to
deepen your faith and love for your spiritual life! May each of your
Communions be as Holy as your First and as Sacred as your Last!
Mother Mary, draw us closer to your Immaculate Heart and the
Sacred Heart of your Son during this Mary Month of May!
Mark your calendar: The final meeting, of the current season, of
the St. Michael Ministry of Compassionate Care will be held on
Thursday, May 15th at 7:00PM in the St. Therese room. It would be
great to see you there!
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL LENTEN ALMS BOXES ‐
Feed the Hungry, Clothe the Naked
Alms giving along with prayer and fasting is one of the three pillars
of Lent. St. Vincent de Paul Society’s would like to thank you for
helping the less fortunate in our community by donating money in
our Lenten Alms Boxes. If you forgot to bring your box back today,
we will still have the three Collection Baskets out in the Narthex for
the next couple of Sundays. You can also make a donation in the
Poor Box located in the narthex.
