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.

Announcing the Wellness Fair
UPDATE
As of the end of May, Outreach and Parish Life has distributed 1,820 fliers to four area elementary schools: Carolina Beach, Bellamy, Mary C. Williams, and Anderson. One was placed in each student’s school folder. We will also reach out to food banks, camps, and daycare centers. Our media campaign (social and otherwise) will begin in late June.
In the meantime, feel free to pick up fliers at church to post at your gathering places – pool, hair salons and barber shops, restaurants, etc. Spread the word! We hope to have 100 children attend our first-ever wellness event. As always, thank you for your loving and prayerful support!

Wisdom from Pope Leo XIV
We have a new Pope! Pope Leo XIV. What a joy he brings to the world and an inspiration to each of us as ministers of God’s Word. This quote from him was taken off a Facebook post and it crystalizes for me how God works in our lives and the reach he has within us. Enjoy!
