Don't forget that our Facebook page has changed. We're now located at Kaukauna Catholic Parishes - KCP. But feel free to look around the Holy Cross page as well because there are so many wonderful pictures of Holy Cross before and after our amazing renovation. We'll see you on the new page! And our new joint-parish website is www.kaukaunacatholicparishes.org.

We invite you to come to Jesus today and every day.

Visit our new joint-parish Facebook page - Kaukauna Catholic Parishes. There will no longer be postings on the Holy Cross page. We at St. Katharine Drexel and Holy Cross are excited about spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ throughout Kaukauna, Hollandtown and beyond -- together! Stop at the KCP Parish Office at 119 W. 7th Street in Kaukauna, right next to St. Mary Church. We're closed today, but stop by on Wednesday, February 13th, for a hot cup of coffee, scrip and maybe to register as a new member! We love new members! Together, we can discover, live and share Jesus.

Gospel reading for Monday, October 22 Luke 12:13-21 Monday of the Twenty-ninth Week in Ordinary Time Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.” He replied to him, “Friend, who appointed me as your judge and arbitrator?” Then he said to the crowd, “Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.” Then he told them a parable. “There was a rich man whose land produced a bountiful harvest. He asked himself, ‘What shall I do, for I do not have space to store my harvest?’ And he said, ‘This is what I shall do: I shall tear down my barns and build larger ones. There I shall store all my grain and other goods and I shall say to myself, “Now as for you, you have so many good things stored up for many years, rest, eat, drink, be merry!”’ But God said to him, ‘You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you; and the things you have prepared, to whom will they belong?’ Thus will it be for the one who stores up treasure for himself but is not rich in what matters to God.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Saint of the day for October 11 Pope Saint John XXIII A shy, retiring man with a wonderful sense of humor, Cardinal Angelo Roncalli became our beloved Pope Saint John XXIII. Perhaps the greatest irony was that his fellow Cardinals elected him as a stop-gap pope to give them time to get the politics ironed out for a more permanent candidate. Little did they know what the Holy Spirit had in store for the Church through this “temporary” Pope.

Gospel reading for Thursday, October 11 Luke 11:5-13 Thursday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time Jesus said to his disciples: "Suppose one of you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me; the door has already been locked and my children and I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.' I tell you, if he does not get up to give him the loaves because of their friendship, he will get up to give him whatever he needs because of his persistence. "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?" The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

I believe.

Help me, Lord, to pray a little longer every day, until my whole life is a prayer.

Gospel reading for Wednesday, October 10 Luke 11:1-4 Wednesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name, your Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread and forgive us our sins for we ourselves forgive everyone in debt to us, and do not subject us to the final test." The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!

Have a relaxing evening with Jesus.

Gospel reading for Tuesday, October 9 Luke 10:38-42 Tuesday of the Twenty-seventh Week in Ordinary Time Jesus entered a village where a woman whose name was Martha welcomed him. She had a sister named Mary who sat beside the Lord at his feet listening to him speak. Martha, burdened with much serving, came to him and said, "Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me by myself to do the serving? Tell her to help me." The Lord said to her in reply, "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her." The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!
