Cranberry Festival
|
October 3-4
The Cranberry Festival is almost here! Sign up sheets are posted on the table in the back of the church, and the fudge recipe and boxes are waiting to be picked up by those interested in making our fudge recipe to be sold at this year's Festival.
This is a fun event to get involved in! You can sign up to work at the "booth" on either Saturday or Sunday, help to set up in the mornings or break down the tables at the end of each day. Baked goods are needed - cookies, small breads, cakes - the more to sell the better - and cranberries are a key ingredient! This has been a successful fundraiser for Christ Church, and has become a wonderful tradition! Please contact Donna Hudak if you have any questions!

Soon his heart was filled with both joy and pity, and wounds appeared on his hands, feet, and side. He reportedly carried these scars (called stigmata) until his death in 1226.

He became part of the Radical Reformation and Catholics and Protestants both persecuted him. --taken from Christianity Today

St. Gerard Sagredo 
Bishop, 1046
St. Gerard was an Italian bishop from Venice (some claim Basque origins) who operated in the Kingdom of Hungary (specifically in Budapest), and educated Saint Emeric of Hungary, the son of Saint Stephen of Hungary). He played a major role in converting Hungary to Christianity. He was the bishop of Csanád.
Gellért's martyrdom took place on 24 September 1046 (his co-martyrs were Bystrik and Buldus) on a hill in Budapest which is now named after him. Allegedly he was placed on a 2-wheel cart, hauled to the hilltop and rolled down the now named Gellert Hill, then as still being alive at the bottom, beaten to death. Other unverified tales report him as being put in a spiked barrel for rolling down.
Canonized in 1083, along with St. Stephen and St. Emeric, Gellért is currently one of the patron saints of Hungary.
