Outreach

Have you ever wondered how you can get involved with your community, meet new friends, share your talents, make a difference in the world, embrace hope, and share the love we learn in our Church Family? At Holy Cross we are committed to living our faith teachings through outreach. When we say about Holy Cross, "Love is Spoken Here," we are shining a light on and supporting the potential for growth, development, creativity, health, and happiness in all people. Below are ways you can use your talents and cause them to multiply through others. Whatever we do, let us do it with glad hearts and open hands.

Sharing

Wellness Fair, August 2: Share your talents on the dance mat, sing-a-long, kite making/flying, as a guide on the St. Francis Way, or setting up/taking down, passing out goodies or supplies - volunteers are needed.

Share items you have on hand that you can loan for the day to the Wellness Fair: items like coolers, card tables, and tents.

Donating

Outreach: Donate to our own Blessing Box by bringing canned food to Holy Cross where it will be placed in the Blessing Box for easy access by those in need. We are really low of food items. Click on the link to discover what we need and where to put it.

Here I Am, Lord: Listening for God’s Call

God calls in many ways—even at 3 a.m. Through restlessness or invitation, we’re nudged to respond, serve, and say, “Here I am, Lord.”

Held in the Heart of Christ: A Reflection on Tragedy, Tenderness, and the Call to Peace

In the wake of a devastating school shooting during chapel at Annunciation Catholic School, I grieve the loss of innocent lives, reflect on Christ’s comforting presence in suffering, and find solace in the tender embrace of grandmothering—reminded of our sacred call to love, serve, and be instruments of peace.
