Today we celebrate the Dormition of our Most Holy Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary. ☦️

At her falling asleep, she was not abandoned to death, but received into the heavenly glory of her Son. Her life was one of humility, obedience, prayer, and complete trust in God.

May we learn from her example to say “yes” to God in our own lives, to carry our crosses faithfully, and to always turn our hearts toward Christ.

Most Holy Theotokos, save us!
Blessed Feast of the Dormition! 🕊️☦️

There are many words that can be said about the Huelsman family and their last day here at Holy Cross…

For 13 years, they have been a beautiful part of our parish family, giving their time, love, and service to this community. Today we say goodbye as Deacon Nectarios begins his journey to seminary, and while we are certainly sad to see them go, we are grateful for all that they have given us.

In his homily today, Deacon Nectarios reminded us of something so simple, yet so important: Christ is in our midst. Even as seasons change, people move, and our lives take us in different directions, Christ remains with us and unites us.

May we carry that reminder with us, and may Christ bless the Huelsman family as they begin this next chapter. They will always have a place in the Holy Cross family. We all love you very much!❤️

Glory to Jesus Christ!

✨Today was a day of great celebration at Holy Cross!✨

Today we had the joy of witnessing several beautiful milestones in the life of our parish family.

👑 Keegan & Gianna and Brandon & Sierra celebrated the Service of the Removal of the Crowns, marking the completion of their first week of married life. As the wedding crowns are removed, we pray that the grace bestowed upon them in the Mystery of Holy Matrimony remains with them always, strengthening them in love, faithfulness, and unity as they build their domestic churches together.

💛 We also rejoiced in the Churching of Sophia and Augustine, giving thanks to God as they were brought into the church to receive His blessing. May the Lord guide them as they grow in faith, surrounded by the love and prayers of their families and our parish community.

Please join us in praying for these families.

Many many Years!

☦️ May Christ our God grant Keegan & Gianna, Brandon & Sierra, Sophia, and Augustine many blessed years, growing ever closer to Him.
