STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Every Friday morning at 8:10 a.m. all are welcome to pray The Stations of the Cross with our student assembly at Holy Cross.
LENTEN SERVICE PROJECT
This year our service project will be directed toward ICU Mobile, a pro-life ministry that supports women, saves lives of the unborn using ultrasound technology and advocacy, and shares Christ through word and deed. ICU Mobile’s need is to provide a small “gift bag” to support each prospective mother who steps into their mobile clinic. Here is how Holy Cross will help. Each grade level has been assigned to collect a particular item needed by ICU mobile. The collection will take place in each classroom between March 1 and March 23. If each student would donate $5 worth of the items below, we will reach our Lenten service goal.
Preschool – Mini hand sanitizer
Kindergarten – Mini hand sanitizer
Grade 1 – fuzzy slipper socks
Grade 2 – fuzzy slipper socks
Grade 3 – Travel size lotion
Grade 4 – Lip balm
Grade 5 – $5 Coffee shop gift cards
Grade 6 – $5 Subway gift cards
Grade 7 – Wrapped chocolates
Grade 8 – Wrapped chocolates
I encourage you all to give generously, remembering that when we invest what God has given us to impact the lives of others, we can trust that the results will make a difference both now and for eternity. Thank you all for your help and consideration!
A blessed Lent to you all,
Constance L. Krocak
THE HOLY CROSS CRUSADER CELEBRATION - 4/14/18
Please continue to turn in your tickets are you sell them. More tickets are available.We look forward to sharing this special evening together! We appreciate the broad support this gala event enjoys each year from our school, community, and alumni. We ask for your help to make this year’s Crusader Celebration a success. There are many ways to contribute your time, talent, and treasure.
- TIME: You may fulfill the family volunteer commitment you have with the school by participating in the preparations or hosting of this event. It’s a fun way to help the school and learn to know the families of your children’s classmates. There are many opportunities to help the night of the event. You will receive an email with a link to an online sign up for work shifts.
- WINE AND SPIRIT DONATIONS: One of our most popular games at the Celebration is the school spirit toss. This game is a ring toss which includes wine and other adult beverages. The Events Committee is asking every family to donate two bottles of wine or adult beverages by April 6.
- SILENT AUCTION DONATIONS: Consider donating an item for the Silent Auction. It’s a centerpiece of the Celebration, and a wide variety of donated items means there is something for everyone. Please consider how you can use your gifts of talent, creativity, hobbies, or interests to offer something unique to the auction. Bakers may want to donate a cookie of the month club. Maybe you can host a children’s birthday party or offer a day of babysitting. Are you a builder? How about a dog house or book shelf? Donations don’t have to be money or products, so think creatively!
- GREAT GATHERINGS DONATIONS: Please consider hosting a Great Gathering Event to raise funds for Holy Cross. Volunteer to host a dinner, picnic, Easter egg hunt, barn dance - the possibilities are endless – as a donated item for the auction. Set a theme, a price, a date, and determine how many people you can host. Families then sign up to attend the event and pay the price you charge as their donation to the school. As host, you absorb your costs of the event as your in-kind donation to the school. Some examples of Great Gathering Events are: A costume party, A card party with snacks & drinks, A bowling party, Bocce ball in the backyard, A volleyball game at a park, a Game night, A bonfire and hayride, An afternoon pontoon ride, and Brunch for two families.
Those unable to host an event in their homes might consider hosting at a park, an alternative venue, or co-hosting with another school family. The Great Gathering Events will be posted prior to the Crusader Celebration to allow families to check their calendars before signing up to attend. Please contact Karen Johnson at the email listed below if you are interested in hosting.
