One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is a safe and nurturing place to learn and grow. At Holy Cross School, we are blessed with a faith-filled community where students feel loved and supported. Our school year’s theme is Anchored in Hope, which reminds us that even in uncertain times, we remain steady in our mission, grounded in God’s love, and committed to safeguarding the precious children entrusted to our care. This year, your donation will support several key safety and security improvements including:
New front doors for the main school building
Protective window reinforcement
Privacy fencing for the playground and field
Join us in being Anchored in Hope and standing together as a community of faith; determined to create an environment where our children can flourish academically, spiritually, and personally. We prayerfully ask you to consider making a donation to the Annual Giving Fund in support of this important initiative. Contributions can be made online or by sending your gift directly to the school office marked for the Annual Giving Fund.
Thank you for your continued support.

+ How long will the Annual Giving Fund campaign last?
While gifts can be made at any time, the active part of our campaign will run through January 31, 2026. The sooner funds are raised the sooner we can put the proposed plans into action!
+ Is there a fundraising goal for the Annual Giving Fund?
While we do not yet have all of the project estimates available, we know the costs will be significant and likely exceed $500,000. We have applied for various grants, however, we simply cannot complete these projects without community support.
+ How will the money be used?
Gifts to the Annual Giving Fund will go directly in support of campus safety enhancements, including the replacement of the school’s main front doors, protective enhancements to the windows, and improved fencing for privacy.
+ 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 .
