Easter Egg Hunt
Last Sunday we held an Easter Egg hunt and party that brought joy to the children participating in the event. Thankfully, we had a nice and sunny day where children found Easter eggs hidden outside. In the hall, the games were prepared by Mrs. Donna Maher. We thank all School of Christian Living teachers and parents who brought their children and were part of their children enjoyment.
Confirmation Class Cares For Our Neighbors
On Sunday March 12th students from our Confirmation Class distributed food consisting of sandwiches, water and clothing to the homeless in Paterson, NJ. Jackets, scarfs, shawls, hats, blankets, winter shoes and other items were donated by parishioners of Holy Cross. It was a very cold day and it was very appropriate to remember the less fortunate of our society. “Whatever you did to the least of my brothers and sisters you did to me” – words of our Savior, Jesus Christ. At the end of the distribution the remaining items were donated to Eva’s Village in Paterson.
