Our Cross+Trainer Thanksgiving potluck and commissioning for first-year members was last Thursday. It was wonderful to support the new batch of Cross+Trainers as they made a commitment to the ministry for the rest of the year. Fr. Pat gave us a blessing and reminded us of the importance of centering our lives around the Eucharist and spending time in prayer in front of the Blessed Sacrament. It was a beautiful evening of fellowship, blessings, and laughter. (Photos will be up as soon as people submit some for posting.)
On behalf of all the Cross+Trainers, we'd like to wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! As we celebrate with our families and friends, let us not forget to say a prayer for all of those who may not have a meal to eat or a family to share a meal with. Our hearts and prayers are also with all the families who lost their homes to the recent fires.
Sunday marks the First Sunday of Advent. What are YOU doing to prepare your heart for the coming of our Lord?

About Us
The Cross+Trainers are a group of young adults ranging from Confirmed high school seniors to post-college young adults who serve the parish community of St. Paul the Apostle in Chino Hills, California through a presentation of dynamic retreats for youth. Our primary ministry focus is discipleship. We recognize that we cannot expect to be effective in ministry unless we have first invested all of ourselves into our own personal formation in prayer, regular participation in the Sacraments, catechesis, meditation on Scriptures, and in keeping our brothers and sisters in the ministry accountable to Christ's call to discipleship. Thus, our apostolate, or duty in giving back to the Church, is through the retreats that we staff and facilitate.We are faithful to the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, taught and passed down to the faithful through the generations. We think Pope Benedict XVI is amazing. This blog is lovingly dedicated to Our Blessed Mother.
