Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Jesus knew it is very human to be afraid of someone who could kill your body. But, He said, the one you really should be afraid of is the one who can cause you to lose both body and soul. On September 11, terrorists destroyed the bodies of many people whose spirits remained alive and free. In the face imminent death, they reached out to say "I love you!" They stayed behind to help others. They gave their own lives that others might live. They did not lose their souls.

We are receiving the final bills from McGough Construction for the remodeling and elevator. If you plan to make a semi-annual or annual payment on your pledge, or are considering a second year gift, please consider doing it now. The more we can pay on our loan now, the less interest we will have to pay.

THANK YOU!

I want to thank all those who contributed towards the renovation of Kolbe Hall and the new elevator. It was the highlight of my day when I could use the elevator at the Open House and get into Kolbe Hall and see all my friends I haven't seen for 2 1/2 years since being confined to a wheel chair. I felt like I came home to Holy Cross. Thanks again!

We have the great honor of possessing in our midst the Son of God, God Himself, the King of Kings, the Master and Lord of the world.
