Morning Mass The NEW Bible Timeline: Understand the Whole Bible – a Journey from Creation to Exodus
Have you ever wished you could see the “big picture” of the Bible? Join us for Part 1 of The NEW Bible Timeline, a 24-session series that will transform how you read Scripture. Presented by Jeff Cavins with Fr. Mike Schmitz, Dr. John Bergsma, and other trusted presenters, this groundbreaking study was filmed in breathtaking locations across the Holy Land, Egypt, Rome, and beyond.
In Part 1 (Sessions 1-8), you’ll learn to read the Scriptures with consistency, simplicity, and prayerfulness as we explore:
• The Early World – Creation, the Fall, and the first promise of redemption
• The Patriarchs – The lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph
• Egypt & Exodus – Moses leading Israel through the Red Sea to Mount Sinai
When: Wednesday nights at 7:00 PM
Where: Holy Cross Parish basement
Dates: September 30 – November 25, 2026
Whether you’re a longtime parishioner or new to Scripture study, all are welcome! No prior Bible knowledge is required.

How do we help our daughters to grow in confidence, courage, kindness, and leadership while building meaningful friendships?
Pathways Girls’ Club is designed to do exactly that. This is not just another activity — it is a space where girls can develop their character, strengthen friendships, and learn the virtues that will help them navigate life’s challenges.
Holy Cross will be hosting the Pathways Girls Leadership Club beginning October 2026 to May 2027. Girls will grow in virtue, friendship, and leadership through engaging activities, including arts & crafts, drama, games, discussions and service. The club will meet one Saturday morning each month from October 2026 to May 2027.
