Holy Cross Catholic Church

Fr. Charles will be taking a trip home to Ghana this summer. His trip was canceled last year due to COVID. If you would like to send something for him to share with family, friends and anyone in need please bring items to the rectory by the end of April. The items will be shipped, it takes about 3 months for delivery of shipments. Items such as nice summer clothing, toiletries, office/school supplies, small kitchen items, items you no longer use will be accepted. Monetary donations to help with Father’s travel expenses would be a blessing as well.  If you feel it in your heart to share, it will be very much appreciated! If making a monetary donation, please put it in an envelope marked “Fr. Charles trip home” you may drop the envelope in the collection or in the box on the porch or bring it to the Church office.
