Faith Formation

-
At Holy Cross, faith isn't just a subject; it's our very essence. While we wear our Catholic identity with pride, we also warmly embrace and respect those of different faith traditions. In our halls, diverse spiritual journeys converge, but our mission remains constant: to provide an education that fosters spiritual growth, moral integrity, and a deep, unifying connection to God.

student mass
At Holy Cross Catholic School, our weekly student Mass is a cherished tradition that brings our school community together in faith and reflection. All students attend Mass, with older middle school students accompanying and assisting their younger peers.
Fr. Mark’s homilies are thoughtfully crafted to be meaningful for all grade levels, reinforcing the values of service, kindness, and faith development.

Why Faith Formation Matters
At Holy Cross, we instill a deep-rooted understanding of faith principles that remain with our students long after they leave our halls. This spiritual foundation provides them with guidance, comfort, and resilience, helping them navigate challenges.
Faith formation brings together student from diverse backgrounds. Through shared prayers, service projects, and spiritual dialogues, students learn the power of unity, respect, and mutual understanding. It's here that they discover despite our varied backgrounds our shared faith connects us all.
Through community outreach initiatives, service projects, and simple daily acts of kindness, students embody the essence of compassion, realizing that the highest form of faith is in selfless service to others.
