81st Catholic Appeal & Parish Council Nominations

The 2022 81st annual Catholic Appeal, "Journeying Together in Faith and Love," which began May 30th ends next Thursday, June 30th, sustains numerous agencies, programs, and ministries of the Diocese of Fall River, providing food, shelter, emergency assistance, spiritual comfort, and educational opportunities. Your contribution helps children, adults, and the elderly by bringing the corporal and spiritual works of mercy to life.

Our Parish goal this year is $37,717 of which to date we have raised/pledged $29,305 from 162 of our 1317 households listed as registered and active.

If you are among the 162, THANK YOU!

If you have not yet made a donation, please consider making an online gift.

***PLEASE make sure to choose Holy Cross Parish so we get credit for your donation.

Parish Council nominations remain open this week.

The primary purpose of the Parish Council is to advise and assist the pastor and the pastoral team in planning for the parish. We focus on the “big-picture” issues that affect the parish as a whole. The Council also sets short-term and long-term goals for the parish community within the framework of the diocesan priorities for parishes.

This coming year it will be using the responses of the Survey to compose our next five-year Parish Pastoral Plan for 2022-2027. The Council evaluates the effectiveness of parish programs and services as they related to the seven essential elements of parish life: Evangelization, Worship, Faith Formation, Community, Service, Stewardship and Leadership.

This past year the Council met on the third Tuesdays of most months between September and June from 7:00-8:30pm. It is a three year term of service.

Please consider putting yourself forward or nominating other parishioners who you feel represent you/your family. Use the following link to access the electronic form. Nominations will close Monday, June 27th.
