Sacraments and FuneralsThe Sacraments are the life of the Church. They are those special moments in the life of Jesus Christ which he has left for the Church so that we can experience him again and again. A Christian life devoid of the sacrements would be an unenriching one. Our doors are always open to help you recieve the sacraments depending on your needs.
Baptism Classes: Please contact the Church office or call Jennifer Brooks.
Sacrament of Penance: Please call the Church office to schedule time with Fr Basil or you can come striaght to office. Every Saturday there is opportunity to go to confession before vigil Mass. Just arrive before 5:15pm and ask for Fr Basil.
Marriage Preparation: Please do not set a date before coming to the office. You and your spouse need to visit with the priest to discuss your plans to get married. This first stage is very important.
Sacrament of Annointing of the Sick: Please notify us as soon as possible if any family member or parishioner is sick so that we can arrange to visit the sick person. Those scheduling for surgery and medical procedures can always request for prayers from Fr Basil before and after these interventions.
Funerals: Please call the Church office first before making decisions with funeral homes for any vigils, funerals and memorial services. -

Social Justice Ministry
The Social Justice Ministry focuses on the church's role in undoing institutional and systemic racism. It does not focus on blaming or calling out individuals, but rather raises awareness about how the deep and historic roots of racism in this courtry affect us all, even well-meaning poeple of goodwill. In this regard, the ministry hosts monthly Courageous Conversations which are open to the community.

Defend Life Ministry
As Catholics, we believe that life comes from God; therefore, life is sacred from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. However, we live in a world and a society in which an ever-growing number of people do not believe in the sacredness of life. Therefore, laws are passed which allow for abortion and euthanasia. The Defense of Life ministry at Holy Cross speaks up for life in many ways; praying the “Memorare”, group prayer outside abortion clinics, inviting pro-life advocates to speak on abortion and the alternatives and making available pro-life information through literature and CD’s. If you would like more information and/or you would like to join the Defense of Life ministry, please contact Ed Mullen.
