Covid19 (Coronavirus) Response Plan

Parish Life, PNCC /

Dear Friends,

At the beginning of this week we were instructed by civil authorities to avoid gatherings of more than ten (10) people. Because of this, we are not celebrating Sunday Mass. The church will be closed. However, I will celebrate privately one Mass on Sunday at 11 am. The Holy Mass will be available for viewing on Live-stream through Facebook. The videotaped Holy Mass will also be available on this website on Sunday afternoon.

Additionally, the Candlelight Service “My time with Mary” that was scheduled for March 19th was cancelled. Also, the Stations of the Cross (Friday night) will be cancelled to comply with the current recommendations by the authorities. The Stations of the Cross can be read on the website.

Because of necessity of holding Sunday Holy Mass by remote participation only, you may take advantage of our existing daily Mass 8:30 am from Monday to Friday and 10 am Mass on Saturday.

In this difficult time for our church we would appreciate your donations by mail, or electronically through Venmo, highly recommend and safe form of contribution. The Holy Cross’ Venmo account. Also, you can support the church through PayPal via this website.

Once again, please be safe, use your special precautions protecting yourselves and others and help civil authorities from spreading this illness.

With prayers and best wishes to you and your loved ones,

Fr. Joseph and Staff

God bless Benson Jessie

Parish Life, PNCC /

On Sunday, September 22nd the Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Benson Jessie LaPorta, son of Christopher La Porta and Cynthia (nee Crespo). Proud godparents were Edwin Crespo and Sabrina Cardona. We congratulate LaPorta, Crespo families, and their friends on on this special occasion. 

The Sacrament of Baptism-Confirmation is the foundation of our Christian faith, is a gateway to new life in the Spirit, and the door that gives access to other sacraments. Through the Sacrament of Baptism-Confirmation we are regenerated and incorporated into Christ’s body – His Church.  As God made the covenant with his people so through Baptism, Jesus makes a new and everlasting covenant with his followers. As Jesus won new life for us on the cross, with the symbol of the cross, Benson was marked to receive the new life in the Lord. As the waters of the Red Sea led the people of Israel to freedom so the water of Baptism gave new life and lead to Salvation. Parents, godparents and all members of our parish pledge to help this child to grow in Christian faith.
