Christmas Dinner Thank You.

Events, Parish Life /

On Sunday, December 12th, dozens of parishioners attended our annual Christmas Dinner. The children and all attendees enjoyed Christmas music and a great menu provided by Francesco’s Restaurant. We thank all those who came for this event, especially parents for bringing their children. Because the children of Holy Cross are very special, Santa Claus came and gave them goodies asking them to listen and help their parents and behave well. Special appreciation to Santa for coming this year, Renata Cyman who decorated the hall, Natalie Lazar who gave gifts to children, those who served food, did clean up and made that day very special.  Merry Christmas to all!  In the picture are some attendees of Christmas Dinner.
