Parishioners from the Philippines celebrated their annual festival at Sunday Mass at Holy Cross on Dec. 10, 2023, with veneration of the Blessed Virgin Mary (in honor of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception two days before), the choir singing hymns in Tagalog and a pot-luck buffet after the service.
Candle Labyrinth on Gaudete Sunday
The Medical Mission Sisters, whose Frankfurt community is based at Holy Cross Center for Christian Meditation & Spirituality, prepare a 2,000-candle labyrinth on the church floor for the 3rd Sunday of Advent each year, with the installation providing an opportunity for contemplation for parishioners attending the English-language Gaudete Sunday Mass.
