In Phase II of Go Make Disciples, our priest, Fr. Savio Yerasani invited his parishes, St. John the Baptist in Montello and Good Shepherd in Westfield, to consider “The Mission Cross”. The project consists of a large wooden cross with 72 smaller (palm-sized) wooden crosses hung throughout the front of the large cross.

JANESVILLE — Like the apostles on Pentecost, we too are propelled by the Holy Spirit to bring Jesus to our families, to our workplaces and social activities, and even into the public square.

PLAIN/SPRING GREEN — “I love St. Monica,” said Meg Aspinwall, the director of faith formation at St. Luke Parish in Plain and St. John the Evangelist Parish in Spring Green. “And I love her story. We all have family members who have either fallen away from the faith or who have chosen other directions or never found the faith, so I always ask for her prayers.”

“Behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city, until you are clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49). “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

This renovation seeks not only to repair structures that were falling apart but to restore beauty. Some might ask what this has to do with Go Make Disciples. Isn’t the church building some separate thing to evangelization and catechesis?
