SIGNED AND SEALED WITH THE CROSS

Monday, March 28 - Wednesday, March 30
7-8 p.m. in the church

As early as the 3^rd century, Christians started to sign themselves with a cross.
Eighteen centuries later, we continue the practice of making the sign of the cross when we start to pray, when we celebrate the sacraments, and when we enter a church. Done so often and usually out of habit, has this ancient gesture lost its meaning for us?

During this 3 night parish mission, Fr. Albert Haase, OFM, will help us explore the identity of our God proclaimed in the ancient gesture of being signed with a cross. We will also explore the challenges and responsibilities we accept when we seal our lives with the sign of our salvation.
