OUTREACH

Holy Cross offers numerous opportunities to serve the local and wider community. Since its first beginnings, meeting in the homes of parishioners, Holy Cross committed to use 10% of its previous year's income for outreach -- a commitment Holy Cross continues from its permanent home on Myrtle Grove Road. Holy Cross also uses its time and talents within the community.

We are always evaluating our projects and looking for others we have the resources to support. Contact the Outreach Coordinator with your ideas.
