When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled ...then there appeared to them tongues as of fire,
which parted and came to rest on each one of them.
And they were all filled with the holy Spirit. Acts 2:1a, 3,4a

Knights of God Household Covenant
We, the Knights of God, promise to be kind to each other, be good examples at home and at school, and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We will do these things by using only kind words and actions, treating others the way we want to be treated, pausing to think before we act, and asking if Jesus would be pleased by what we are doing.
We pledge to participate in Mass, receive the Sacraments regularly, and share our faith with others.
We pledge to do our best to keep this covenant as the household of the Knights of God.

At the school entrance each morning at 7:35AM, we pray a decade of the Rosary as students arrive for a new day. Come join us as we entrust our community's prayer intentions to the loving, immaculate heart of Our Blessed Mother.
Special Community Prayer Intention:
Novena Prayer
O gentle, loving God, You chose Saint Joseph to watch over the Divine Child and our Blessed Mother, knowing that his care would be loving and sure, constant and wise. We seek his care and protection, entrusting our spiritual and temporal needs to his fatherly intercession.
INTENTION for HCCS needs: Guide us as we place our parish spacing needs into your hands!
Saint Joseph, strengthen our faith, renew our hope and keep us steadfast in God’s love. Surround us with His unseen light, and we will walk in your footsteps with trusting hearts that are ready to accept God’s Will and carry it out with courage and trusting confidence. Amen.
"The path we have walked (in building and opening Holy Cross Catholic School)...has been in the footprints of Our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Supreme Architect whose plan we have followed. All that we have tried to do has been for Him. There is a joy in this new ministry for our parish and the exciting work we have been able to accomplish under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
On behalf of the administration, faculty, parents and students, I wish to express gratitude and praise to God for all the good work that He has begun and prayerful hope for all that we have yet to accomplish...From daily Mass, confessions, adoration, prayer, classes, sports, friendships, challenges and joyful expectation for all that is to come, Holy Cross School is a place of love diffusing far and wide the goodness of Christ. Only in openness to the Holy Spirit can we continue to grow in body, mind and soul and give glory to Christ by becoming all that He calls us to be in His Holy Name.
Yours in Jesus through Mary,
Msgr. Daniel J. Deutsch August, 2008
