Sunday School News
On Sunday, June 18th (on Father’s Day) we presented awards to youth who were involved and participated in Sunday School Classes and different projects. We thank teachers Mr. Paul Murphy and Ms. Natalie Lazar for their dedication to teach our children Sunday School lessons. Our dear youth helped the parish with preparations of Thanksgiving baskets, Christmas gifts for the elderly, and flowers for Veterans. They made beautiful gifts for Mothers and Fathers. They prayed during classes, read and studied Sunday School materials discovering the basics of our Christian faith and Christian values. We thank parents for their involvement and support. Sunday School classes will resume on Sunday, September 10th at 11 am. Here are names of youth who received awards:

Free Town Picnic 2023
The parish town picnic, held Sunday, June 4th, was a huge success. It got bigger this year.
As always, the food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you to the chefs Ed Obssuth, Dave Obssuth, Dominick Bucci and Tracey Banta for a job well done. Thanks to all that donated desserts and homemade dishes to share with friends. We thank those who set up the hall and tents before the event: Penni Lazor, Fran Cuccinello, Matthew Daniewski, Dominick Bucci and those who cleaned after the event, Hernan Patino, Laura Orrego, Diego Ochoa, Iris Miolan and others. I was impressed seeing so much new energy in many parishioners helping at the picnic. Children and adults enjoyed fun and games including a 16’ water slide, dunk tank, “blake the clown”, face painting, balloon twisting, a touch of nature (20 animals on display that gave some educational tips). Many thanks to the Picnic Committee for planning and volunteering their time and talent to make the day fun filled for the young and adults.
Parishioners, friends, children, neighbors and Woodland Park residents all came together and enjoyed the afternoon festivities.
Many thanks to all that participated in any way with helping to make it a great day for all. This event was considered as an outreach program to our community supported by the diocese. As a result, we had people who signed up to become members of our parish and their children will attend First Holy Communion and Confirmation classes.
Looking forward to 2024’s picnic.

Christmas Dinner Thank You.
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.
