Faith Activities

Guided by Faith

At Holy Cross, we believe a stronger, more connected community comes from strong values and moral principles. Guided by the Catholic faith, our school helps students grow into thoughtful, compassionate individuals.

Beyond attending Mass together and offering opportunities for students to become altar servers or participate in readings, our school community offers many other ways to celebrate our shared values and beliefs.

 
Dear Families,
It is a joy to welcome you as you explore Holy Cross Catholic School. Please know that you are always welcome here in our Holy Cross community. We believe that every child is a gift from God. As pastor, I have the great privilege of supporting and encouraging families in their educational and faith journeys. The Catholic faith provides so many blessings. I invite you to visit our school, attend a Mass and experience the warmth of our community firsthand. Please contact or visit our parish office with any questions about how to get involved. May God bless you and your family.Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Vitalis Anyanike, Pastor

How Students Explore Their Faith

  • Daily Prayer and Reflection

    Students begin each day centered, with moments of prayer to foster gratitude. Most of our classrooms at Holy Cross also include a prayer corner and/or other elements of Catholic identity.

     

  • Religious Education & Formation

    Religion is part of the curriculum like any other subject. Tailored to each grade level, teachers make sure the content helps students deepen their understanding of Catholic traditions, teaching and scripture, while also deepening their relationship with Christ.

     

  • Sacramental Preparation

    Our staff helps guide and support students as they prepare for First Communion and Confirmation. We also have many students and staff decide to enter the Church, and we are happy to accompany anyone who is interested in exploring the sacrament of Baptism as well.

     

  • Service Projects

    Holy Cross students actively live out their faith as they participate in meaningful service learning projects such as Operation Giving and many other collection drives for material goods.
