Dear Holy Cross Parishioners,  We are so thankful to Holy Cross Parish for your dedication to the children at St. Joseph Home for Children.  The food shelf donation you so generously made was truly wonderful and helpful.  Our children have many challenges and good healthy food is a comfort we strive very seriously to provide.  It lifts us up when we feel the love and support coming from our parish community.  Thank you so very much!  -Mary Schoelch, Volunteer Specialist
