There is something truly special about being part of the Holy Cross community. We are more than a school. We are a family, united by our Catholic faith and our shared commitment to helping our children grow in Faith, Scholarship, and Service.
This year, our theme, “One Body, One Mission” reminds us that each of us has an important role to play in the life of our school. When we come together, our collective generosity allows Holy Cross to continue providing a place where children are known, loved, challenged, and supported. This year, we invite you to be part of our Annual Giving Fund, which will support two important priorities for our school community.
Creating a Safe and Welcoming Entrance: Over Christmas break, we are excited to begin the installation of new front doors for the main school building. This important campus improvement will enhance the security of our school while creating a welcoming entrance for students, families, faculty, staff, and visitors.
Supporting Our Holy Cross Families: Our Annual Giving Fund will also provide tuition assistance to families in need. Your generosity allows us to support families who may need additional assistance while helping preserve the vibrant and diverse community that makes Holy Cross so special.
Every gift makes a difference and together we can strengthen our school, support our families, and invest in the future of Holy Cross. We prayerfully ask you to consider making a gift to the Annual Giving Fund. Contributions can be made online or by sending your gift directly to the school office marked for the Annual Giving Fund.
We are deeply grateful for your partnership, prayers, and generosity. Together, we strengthen the Holy Cross community and support our shared mission of educating and nurturing our students in faith.
One Body. One Mission. One Holy Cross.

+ Is there a fundraising goal for the Annual Giving Fund?
Our goal is 100% participation by our school community. The costs for the new doors will exceed $250,000. We have applied for various grants, however, we simply cannot complete this project without community support.

Gifts to the Annual Giving Fund will go directly in support of the new doors and tuition assistance for families in need.
+ How much should I/we contribute?
Please give as generously as possible and from your heart. Think about what a Holy Cross education and the Holy Cross community means to you and your family. Gifts of all sizes, big and small, are welcome and appreciated!
+ Why is 100% participation from the parish and school families so important?
One hundred percent participation in the Annual Giving Fund shows our commitment to Catholic education, Holy Cross Parish and School, its teachers and staff, and our children. While gifts differ in size, each gift has an impact on participation and is appreciated.
+ Is my donation tax deductible?
All donations are tax deductible under the law. Holy Cross is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization, Federal ID #52-0740632.
+ We aren’t parishioners at Holy Cross, so you don’t expect us to give, right?
Actually, we do. We ask that everyone give something. No amount is too small (or too big) to show your commitment to your Holy Cross family.
+ Does my donation qualify for matching Corporate gifts?
Many corporations have matching gift programs for their employees, retirees, and board members that can substantially increase the overall gift. Contact your employer to determine if they will match your gift and to find out how to obtain matching funds.
+ Are there other ways to give?
Charitable donations may also be made in the form of stocks or other assets. Please contact Mrs. Z at c.zalewski@hcross.org for more information .
