FAMILIES AND FAITH:
If you have multiple children with scheduling conflicts, consider our new program that meets once a month at Holy Cross. This is a program based on families attending Mass together at 10 am and then proceeding to the parish hall for one hour of community-based faith formation. We have wonderful lead families working on this model. Attending these sessions fulfills your child's faith formation requirements for the year. If you have a child in a sacramental year, you would need to simply pay the additional sacramental fee and you can determine if you would like your child to attend sacramental prep in person, or complete the work at home.
