Holy Cross welcomes a new family and celebrates the baptism of their daughter

On Sunday, August 29, 2010 Holy Cross Parish enjoyed the celebration of a special Holy Mass at 10:30 AM with the Sacrament of Baptism conferred upon Patricia Rose Tiseo, daughter of Jason and Christine (Nieves) Tiseo. The Godparents were Vincent Valerian and Ashley Carter. Jason and Christine, and their two daughters, Isabel and Patricia, are the newest addition to Holy Cross. Best wishes to the Tiseo Family and our prayer that they find Holy Cross to be their second home, a place of spiritual growth and social contentment.
