Q&A
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, as we begin to prayerfully consider participating in the capital campaign to benefit the building fund, a few questions have been asked by several parishioners. Why do we need a capital campaign? How does a capital campaign work in conjunction with the weekly offering? How long is our campaign? A capital campaign is needed when the weekly offerings are not sufficient to cover the cost of improvements needed for the church to benefit the parish community. It is a good time to examine your overall giving level to ensure you are fully supporting the parish with your weekly offering through tithing which is 10% of your income. Capital campaign pledges are in addition to what is given weekly. In our diocese, it is customary to ask parishioners to give the same amount to the capital campaign each week that they give in the weekly offering and to contribute this incremental amount for 3 to 5 years. Our campaign is 3 years for phase 1 of our building project.

Holy Cross Catholic Church Capital Campaign
Our parish was founded based on the needs of the community in 1979 beginning as The Colony Catholic Community. We have experienced tremendous growth over the years. We are faced with the challenge of continuing to serve our parishioners and the constraints of our current facilities.
We envision comfortable rooms for our children to learn about the Lord; ample space to celebrate confirmation receptions with each other and for our families to host weddings; a place where our ministries can meet to plan how they can continue to serve our parish community; and a church home that is inviting to the many new families that are moving into our area.
This capital campaign is our GIFT to the Holy Cross parish and we pray you will joyfully contribute your gifts of time, talents, and treasures. Our goal is to raise $5 million for the first phase of this project. Your generous financial support will contribute to new classrooms and meeting space, a larger parish reception hall, updated kitchen and restrooms, and much more.
Our success depends on your generous contributions. God has blessed us daily with many gifts. Let us use those gifts to be a blessing to others.
May God’s grace be forever in your heart.
The GIFT Campaign Committee
“Each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”1 Peter 4:10 -
What's new
"As a body is one though it has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though many, are one body, so also Christ.” 1 Cor 12.
This verse captures our parish. Each family is a vital part to our success.
On behalf of the GIFT Comittee, I want to thank all those who have made a financial commitment to the future of Holy Cross by donating or pledging $2,406,387 !
You can see our construction progress on our vestibule and bell tower, which emphasizes our commitment to expand. We can fail when over 50% of our "body's" parts are not fully engaged.
We need everyone’s love, prayers, support and financial commitment to continue moving forward. It is up to all of us, especially those who have not pledged, to raise the remaining construction costs of our expansion of over $5,000,000!
Pledges can be made online at www.holycrosscc.org/GIFT or you can follow the links above GIFT Campaign. Donations can also be made to the GIFT Campaign using the envelops in the pews, which can be placed in the collection basket. .
