We are very proud to be flexible instruments in God's hands to raise the cross on the grounds of our Parish of St. Andrew. After the cross from the walls of the Church had to be removed because of the damage that was being done by the residue of birds and their nests, I came out with the idea of having a big cross on the property of the Church. This idea was quickly picked up by a few members of the Parish and the Liturgy committee, who offered their talents, time, service, and money so that a beautiful big cross will be erected on the grounds of the Church. The CWL, together with the generosity of our parishioners who bought tickets and donated substantial money (God reward your generosity), together we worked hard to concretize this idea taking the opportunity of the year of St. Paul! We, the parishioners, are proud to raise the cross as an expression of gratitude for God's love for all to receive. Words fall short to express my gratitude to God and all of you, who directly or indirectly have worked and contributed towards this historical event in the history of our Parish.

With heartfelt thanks to all of you for this nice and worth gesture of Raising and Blessing of the Cross, God bless you all with His peace. Fr. Dominic, OCD
