Two bills introduced in the Illinois House and Senate seek to take away any protection of the unborn. Cardinal Cupich is asking citizens of the state and people of faith to take action.

Please consider volunteering for the Hesed House Food Ministry. People to prepare a meal are needed immediately!

Today, at all Masses, we are asking everyone to consider making a financial commitment to the Holy Cross community and towards the spiritual formation for today and future generations.

Praise the Lord! We have overwhelmingly surpassed the March goal amount of $50,000 and are thankful to all who made their donation to the campaign to help us meet this matching grant.

This week, we mailed out the remainder of the pledge packets to parishioners in order to provide everyone an opportunity to be a part of this important parish initiative to further God’s Kingdom.

To date, we have received $32,601 in new pledges/donations towards this matching grant of $50,000.

During the month of March, all new pledges and donations will be matched up to $50,000!! If you have not yet made your pledge or would like to increase your pledge amount, now is the time.

Bishop Malloy requested a letter be read at all Masses last weekend regarding the legislation introduced in Illinois that seeks to extremely expand abortion availability and provisions, repeal protections of the unborn in current law, and take away rights of conscience.

The Diocese of Rockford sent additional information regarding the extreme abortion-expansion legislation that has been introduced in Illinois. It is critical for all people of goodwill to voice their opposition to this legislation.

March 3 & 4 - please drop donations off in the narthex on your way to Mass.

We are 59% towards the overall $4.9 million goal. With everyone’s help, we will be able to fund all three projects. Our volunteers continue to work hard at contacting fellow parishioners to share details of each project. 

This week we continue with our campaign FAQs. Are they replacing the stained-glass windows in the sanctuary? What renovations will be made to the church? Is there a way to honor or recognize all who donate to the campaign?

This campaign is another step in our stewardship journey to grow as a community of believers who share their time, talent and treasure.

Let us celebrate the gift of a catholic education both in the school and in the religious education program. And let us join together to help finish what was started over 10 years ago in the Catholic Education Community Center (CECC).
