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 and every family is a vital part to our success.

The GIFT Committee thanks all those who have made a financial commitment to the future of Holy Cross by donating or pledging to reach the full $6,100,000 goal! By August 31, 2019, approximately $3.3 million of the $6.1 million cost of the renovation and expansion was raised.

Now, we need to recommit our prayer spirit and financial resources to raise the other $2.8 million. We can fail when over 50% of our "body's" parts are not fully engaged.

We are pleased to report that donations and pledges received for the GIFT2RENEW plan, started on September 1, 2019, amount to $498,413 as of March 24th, 2020. In this GIFT2RENEW plan, we need many more parishioners to participate. Our facilities are first rate and our ministry activities are increasing. Please pledge a minimum of $40 per month or $10 per week; if you are able, please pledge more.

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 $2.3 Million of our construction loan!

Pledges can be made to give through your bank account, credit card or check online at www.holycrosscc.org/GIFT or you can follow the links above for the GIFT2RENEW Campaign. Donations can also be made to the GIFT2RENEW Campaign using the envelops in the pews, which can be placed in the collection basket.

We are one church, different people, different situations, united with Christ in faith, working together for a common goal, the evangelization of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Holy Cross Catholic Church Capital Campaign

"Give in proportion to what you own! If you have great wealth, give alms out your abundance; if you have but little, do not be afraid to give alms even of that little.” Tobit 4:8

This scripture holds a message that we don’t often want to hear, but needs to be said at times. All too often, we allow others to take the lead, or volunteer, or serve in the church, or help with the projects while we sit back and enjoy the benefits. We feel justified because we don’t have enough time, or we don’t know enough about how to do something, or we don’t have enough money to do what is being asked of us. Let us remember we all have something to offer. It is up to us to use what God has given us in large and small measures.

As ordinary time resumes, let’s make an effort to make these EXTRAORDINARY times by sacrificing and giving in proportion to what we own.

We need your prayers, pledges and donations to the GIFT Campaign. Please do what you can!

“Each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”
1 Peter 4:10
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.
