PROJECT ADVANCE 2023
We would like you to consider making a donation to Project Advance.
Funds raised through Project Advance are a critical supplement to the ministries of our Diocese, which are greater than what one individual parish could support and maintain. As a parish community, we are not only working to assist the Diocese in this fund raiser, but also to raise funds for different needs of our own Holy Cross Community. Anything over and above the Archdiocesan goal of 56.400 will stay within Holy Cross Parish and go towards the following:
– Replacing the furnace in the rectory – $13,000
– Parking Lot Repairs – $22,000
– Seismic upgrade of our elementary school
You can drop off your pledge form in the collection basket, at the parish office or go online to give at www.projectadvance.ca and please designate our parish as the recipient.
BIBLE STUDY 2023
Our next Bible Study is from FORMED.ORG: Philippians: Life in Christ, a 6-session Catholic Bible Study starting Wednesday, Sept 13 at 7:30 pm. It will be conducted in a hybrid meeting – attend virtually or in person in the Music Room. For registration or more information, contact the Parish Office or Tito Macapinlac at titom1999@gmail.com or (604) 761-3135.
