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.

What's new
A heartfelt “Thank You” is offered to all Holy Cross parishioners who braved the rain and wind on Sunday, March 5th as they witnessed our Groundbreaking Ceremony. This begins our now four-phase expansion and renovation plan that will evolve over the next five years.
We will have a new vestibule and code-compliant entrance, along with a new façade and bell tower. In summer 2017, we will begin our 12,000 square foot expansion including classrooms, youth ministry, food pantry, choir practice and gathering area, along with updated kitchen and bathrooms.
Holy Cross has truly been blessed. We have a fine leader in Father Joseph and we are focusing for the future of our parish family. Our parish can be as much as you want it to be. If you have made a sacrificial pledge toward our goal, you have our sincere appreciation. If you have not pledged to the GIFT Campaign, please let your concerns and baggage go and invest in your parish.
We are asking you to consider making a strong commitment to Holy Cross and make a generous pledge to meet our initial financing goal of $2.5 million. This is your church home, we need to expand and we must all do our share now. Our campaign is structured over three years, or 36 months, or 156 weeks. A small amount can go far, just ten dollars a week for the Lord is a pledge of $1,560; twenty dollars a week is $3,120. Your donation makes a difference, once you make the commitment! Pledge now; Build now!
We thank you very much for your faith in God and this parish. If you haven’t pledged, we will be calling to ask for your pledge. If you would rather not receive the call, please go online at www.holycrosscc.org/GIFT and follow the links to the GIFT Campaign serviced by the Fort Worth Diocese Advancement Foundation.
