Our Mission:
“Making Christ Visible in
God’s Community”
Our Power PACKS closet is in need of veggies, milk, fruit cups and entrees. And, as always BAGS! Thank you for your support of this very important ministry!
THANK YOU!
To the Hospitality Committee!
 
Hospitality is a spiritual habit that is integral to the Christian faith. I have witnessed profound acts of hospitality throughout our community during my time at Holy Cross. The Hospitality Committee is a cornerstone of our ministry of hospitality. From receptions to social events, this group helps to set the stage for the presence of Christ to be made known in our midst. Many thanks to the more than 30 people who contributed and participated in the Agape Meal on Maundy Thursday. Thank you for your ministry to and love of this community.
Calling all 5th Graders! Join us at Camp Gravatt for the 5th Grade Bridge Retreat, may 14-15! Contact Father Dorian if you have questions. Adult chaperones welcome and needed. This is a great event where we build relationships, make new friends across the Diocese, learn about God, and prepare for transitioning into middle school. One of our best events.

Holy Cross members and friends have the opportunity to provide a meal and/or dessert for our youth group. We'll meet most Wednesdays during the school year. Each meeting includes a *socially distanced* dinner. You may cook/bake or purchase already prepared food. Please plan to feed (or in the case of dessert, treat) twelve. Monetary donations are also welcome. Youth dinners currently cost about fifty dollars a week but donations in any amount are accepted and appreciated. To sign up, please visit bit.ly/hcteensspring22. 
If there is maintenance that needs to be done at the church, please use the button below that will take you to a form on CCB. A copy will be sent to Greg Farley (Junior Warden) and Tom Jones for action.
ANGEL MATES is a group of friends who have lost their spouses. We meet once a month for lunch and fellowship. 
Please contact Roseann Medaglia (text or call 732-496-8488) to join this group and start socializing! You can also contact Angel Mates through My Holy Cross.
The media team is in need of a few more volunteers. No experience needed. All training and support provided. Reserved seating guaranteed. To serve on media team all that a person needs to be able to do is sit in the booth, follow along with the service, and click the arrow on the keyboard to advance the slide at the appropriate time. The sound board is not that much more difficult. One only had to push the labeled button to queue the correct microphone. All are welcome and training will be provided. If you feel this is a ministry you would like to participate in, please see Lynda Clark, Mike McAllister, or any member of the media team.
The bulletin for every Sunday will be sent out via Eblast on Fridays.
