Welcome Ministers Team

The Holy Mass is the core of who we are at Holy Cross. It is where our community gathers to be nourished by God's Word and the Holy Eucharist. It strengthens us for our daily lives and binds us together in faith.
We strive to ensure every liturgy is a joyful, reverent space where everyone can actively participate.
At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet ‘in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.’ (CCC 1323)
