Welcome to Church of the Holy Cross

JUSTICE ARISES IN PEACE

                                           James writes:
The harvest of justice is sown in peace. A just society does not arise out of murder, envy, lying, greed - all those actions and attitudes that destroy peace among us and within us.

What are you doing within yourself and in your family to promote the conditions for peace and therefore justice?

THE HOLY CROSS EDUCATIONAL TASK FORCE will meet on Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 p.m. in Kennedy Hall.
