	COLUMBIETTES The Columbiettes, an organization of Catholic women dedicated to our Patronesses, Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Theresa the Little Flower, and St. Joan of Arc, are comprised of affiliated Auxiliaries of the Knights of Columbus. OUR PURPOSE IS TO: promote the spiritual, social and charitable welfare of our members to instill a steadfast conviction relating the proper place and function of Catholic women in safeguarding the religious, civil and economic rights of all Catholics to rely upon the intercession of Mary, our Mother and Model, for guidance in guarding the common good, and to work through her, on loving and aiding all members of the human family and to give assistance to the Knights of Columbus in all their activities upon request. At Holy Cross, the Columbiettes provide a number of services to the parish, such as funeral receptions, Secret Santa shop for the children, distribution of saint cards and Christmas wafers and the Stations of the Cross through the eyes of Mary. We also conduct a number of fundraising activities to support various charities.

	HOLY CROSS CRAFTERS There’s no joy like making something for yourself with your own hands, unless it’s making something to give to the Church Bazaar while in the company of good people from the parish! Members of this club will help you learn new crafts each Wednesday from 11:00 AM until 1:00 PM at St. Joseph’s House. The Crafters help the parish by making and supplying crafts to be sold at the Church’s Fall Bazaar. If you enjoy crafts or have ideas for crafts, come and join us for coffee and fellowship.

	Eucharistic Adoration Eucharistic Adoration is a quiet, calm, private time in prayer or contemplation in front of our Eucharistic Lord. When you look upon the Sacred Host, you look upon Jesus, the Son of god. He is really there! “I Myself am the Living Bread come down from heaven.” (Jn. 6:35) Each moment that you spend in His Eucharistic Presence will increase His Divine Life within you and deepen your personal relationship and friendship with Him. Adoration is on Friday from 9:30 AM until 7 PM. If you would like to join us each week for visitation and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, contact Kathy Garlow at 769-1098.
