Parish Pictorial Directory by Universal Church Directory

Announcements, Events, Parish Life /

Our parish had the last pictorial church directory done in 2009. Next year, as we know, we will celebrate our 100th anniversary. It is a great occasion to have another church directory honoring our service to our community for the past one hundred years. In contact with the Universal Church Directory, we scheduled the date. The pictures of individuals and families will be taken on Monday,April 13th. Based on the number of parishioners taking pictures we may have a second day. This directory will not be complete without you. If you are a member of Holy Cross your entire life or you just joined our parish family, please feel that it is a privilege and honor to be part of our project. Volunteers would be needed. Please contact our church office or simply contact one of our parish committee members. Thank you in advance. God bless!

Confirmation 2025

The Sacrament of Confirmation was administered by Prime Bishop Anthony Mikovsky on Sunday, November 9th, at 11 am Holy Mass to new five Confirmands

  • Jazlyn Therese (of Lisieux) Batista, Sponsor – Juan Santos
  • Jaylin Catherine (of Alexandria) Batista, Sponsor – Joanna Santos
  • Roselyne Katherine (Tekakwitha) Caceres, Sponsor – Pamela Caceres-Morales
  • Sebastian Michael Gomez, Sponsor – Christina Gomez
  • Sophia Mary Vogel, Sponsor – Gabriella Samarelli

We thank the Prime Bishop for his celebration of Mass, preaching the Word of God and administering the Sacrament of Confirmation. We congratulate our new confirmands, their sponsors, family members and friends. I also thank Deacon Mark and Deacon Bill for helping me in preparing our students for this important sacrament.

The Sacrament of Confirmation is the sacrament through which we receive gifts of the Holy Spirit to make us soldiers of Christ, ready to profess our faith in word and deed. There are seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, counsel, strength, godliness and fear of the Lord. Confirmation imprints on our souls that sacramental character which gives us the strength needed to profess and defend our Christian faith. (Catechism PNCC)

The New confirmands were invited to participate in different ministries in our parish such as lectors, substitute teachers in our School of Christian Living, members of Adoration Society and other groups. God bless you all.
