Daughters of Holy Cross

The Daughters of the Holy Cross in almost 60 years made an enormous impact on the life and development of our parish. We are grateful all those who in previous years served as members of this association and were called to rest in the Lord. We acknowledge the service of the present members who have a long membership in this society.

As in the past, the present society helps the parish to furnish and supply the rectory. The members organize Bake Sale, 50/50 Drawing and help in various parish functions and fundraisers to help the parish financially.

I pray with ardent hope that more ladies will join this wonderful group of women so that this important society will continue to serve the parish and our Lord and Savior. Please join this important society by calling Elaine Rotsaert at 973-838-4246 or the parish office at 973-256-4888.

Stewardship Committee

The purpose of this committee is to educate members of the parish about the importance of sharing their time, talent and treasure according to their possibilities for the well being of the parish.

All members of the parish are called to be stewards of the Church collaborators and cooperators in continuing the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, which is the Church’s essential mission. A secular culture often encourages people to focus on themselves and their pleasures. However, we cannot deny the role of religion in shaping human and social values. We need to accept the challenge of being Christian steward.

Those who would like to join this important committee, please contact Al Katinsky at 973-694-3208 or the parish office at 973-256-4888.

St. Nicholas Ministry

The purpose of this committee is:

  • To serve the family of Holy Cross in times of need, despair and joy.
  • To remember those who are aged and infirm.
  • To extend the spirit of Christian help to the community.

The St. Nicholas Ministry would like to expand our service by including parishioners who would be willing to visit the home-bound and hospitalized.

Those who would like to join this important ministry, please contact Lucy Daum at 973-694-9457 or the parish office at 973-256-4888.
