Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

WHOSE SIDE?

The Pharisees didn't approve of Jesus. They especially objected to the fact that he hung out with the "wrong crowd." Associating with tax collectors was not something they'd ever do. But Jesus set them straight - He had come to call sinners, not those who made a big deal about their righteousness. Whose side are you on?
