A MESSAGE from HCFM'S President
This Newsletter comes to you from Holy Cross Family Ministries (HCFM), as a ready font of information. We are a family of Catholic ministries sponsored by the Congregation of Holy Cross. Our mission is to inspire, foster, and promote the prayer life and spiritual well-being of families throughout the world. We help families pray! We are striving to be humble, hungry, and smart disciples in all we do. In 2020 there are 41 Holy Cross religious serving full-time in HCFM in 17 countries and 27 ministry centers. Our confident hope is that our Blessed Mother Mary, Mother of the Church, will always lead us to her Divine Son Jesus Christ. We invite, welcome, and count on your prayers for the progress of this good work in the tradition of Holy Cross and Venerable Patrick Peyton's Family Rosary. Let me be so bold as to ask you to continue praying for his speedy beatification.
Venerable Patrick Peyton, Pray for us!
Yours in Holy Cross,
Father Willy Raymond, C.S.C.
