NEW THIS YEAR – Families and Faith

If you have multiple children with loads of scheduling conflicts, please consider our new Families and Faith program, held at Holy Cross. This program is based on families attending the 10AM Mass, then proceeding to the parish hall for a one hour community-based faith formation session under the direction of lead families. Fees remain the same - $100 for one child, $200 for two children, $250 for three or more. If you have a child in a sacrament year (grade 2 or 10), you may still participate; however, the sacrament fee of $50 will be required in addition to the program fees. To learn more about this program, please contact Lindsay Franzoni at lfranzoni@holycrosseaston.org.

Our Parish is committed to providing a safe place for all the faithful. Therefore, we follow a strict policy of The Essential Three for all who minister, work or volunteer in our parish. We ask for your cooperation and support. The safety of our community depends on all of us doing our part. Please click on the image to visit the Diocesan Safe Environment page for more information
