Mission Statement

​

Holy Cross Church is a welcoming Catholic community founded in 1949.  We are dedicated to building the Body of Christ by fostering an inclusive parish community where all feel welcomed, valued, and supported.  We radiate Christ’s love through our celebration of the Mass and the Sacraments, our service to our neighbors, and our fellowship events.  We embrace the diversity of our congregation and encourage active participation in our parish life.

​

No matter what your present status in the Catholic Church,
No matter what your current family or marital situation,
No matter what your current personal history,
age, background, or race,
No matter what your own self-image —
You are invited, welcomed, accepted, loved and respected
here at Holy Cross Church.
