On Sunday, April 12th, the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Mia and Noah Diaz, precious children of Matthew and Pilar. Proud godparents were Daniel and Stephanie Restrepo, Benjamin Baldeon, and Ursula Mejia. We welcome Mia and Noah with great joy as our new members of both our parish and our Christian family. Congratulations to the Diaz and Champa-Martinez families!

Celebrating a Century of Faith: Holy Cross 100th Anniversary Pictorial Directory
As we prepare to celebrate our 100th Anniversary this year, we are excited to announce a new commemorative church directory! This is a special opportunity to honor our century of service to the community and to celebrate the families who make Holy Cross so vibrant.
We have partnered with Universal Church Directories to capture this moment in our history. Professional photography for individuals and families is scheduled for: Monday, April 13th.
Note: If we have a large response, we will add a second day of photography.
This directory will not be truly complete without you. Whether you have been a member of Holy Cross your entire life or have just recently joined our parish family, we want you to be part of this historic project. Every family photographed will receive a complimentary 8×10 portrait and a copy of the new directory.

On Sunday, March 15th, we hosted a St. Patrick’s Luncheon. We enjoyed music and a menu prepared by David and Ed Obssuth, as well as their helpers in the kitchen. The meal consisted of corned beef, cabbage, baked chicken, a variety of vegetables, assorted breads, Irish soda bread, and delicious homemade desserts. We thank those who decorated the hall, served, and cleaned after the event. We enjoyed the drawing of the in-house 50/50 and basket of cheer, as well as the “green surprise gifts” game. We thank everyone for coming to our annual celebration. St. Patrick—bishop, great missionary, and patron of Ireland—pray for us!

On Christmas Eve at 4 pm we traditionally celebrated Holy Mass with our youth participation. They wear costumes of Mary, Joseph, Angel Gabriel, Shepherds, Three Kings, Angels and a Little Lamb. The youth read the Holy Scriptures, and sang together with participants of the Mass the Silent Night with lighted candles and well received Feliza Navidad. We thank the youth, parents, School of Christian Living teachers, Ms. Natalie and Mr. Paul and all who helped to celebrate the Birth of Jesus in such a joyful and meaningful way.
To express our joy in celebrating 100th anniversary of our presence in the community of Woodland Park and beyond we ordered an aluminum and reflective sign. The sign was mounted above the front door of our church.
Our special 100th Anniversary Mass and Dinner will take place on Sunday, May 17th. Help us to organize this event and plan to attend with your family members and friends. Save the date. More information will follow.
