Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

HOW WELL DO YOU HEAR?

Jesus said to Pilate:
It is you who say I am a king.
The reason I was born,
the reason I came into the world,
is to testify to the truth.
Anyone committed to the truth hears my voice.
                                   John 18:36-37

Nearly 33 million Americans have fallen into poverty - the highest in years. As their futures fall, so does the future of our nation. Join the Catholic Campaign for Human Development and help break the cycle of poverty. CCHD supports self- help projects in which poor and low-income people work together to improve their lives and their communities.
