Text Box: HOLY CROSS 125th ANNIVERSARY The committee has been meeting to plan activities for 2011. There are some fun new things planned. The first donation to help fund the year came from Ashley, Tara, Rachel & Norah Kluz. The four grade school girls designed and sold 12 evergreen baskets at the Christmas Bazaar. They gave the $100 that they made to the parish as the first donation toward funding activities for the anniversary year. Our thanks to the Kluz girls for their creativity and thoughtfulness. A parish wide fund raiser will involve individual donations of $125.00 towards our new “Honor Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow” fund. Details will be in the bulletin soon.
