Go Into Deep Waters

This year, our parish is invited to embrace the call to “Go Into Deep Waters,” inspired by Jesus’ words to Simon Peter in Luke 5:4. Just as the disciples were called to cast their nets beyond the shoreline, we too are called to step out of our comfort zones and trust in the Lord’s guidance.


“Going deeper” means growing in our discipleship — through prayer, study, service, and a greater commitment to living out our faith in daily life. It is an invitation to strengthen our relationship with Christ, to share His love more fully with others, and to support the mission and ministries of our parish with renewed hearts.



Together, let us journey into the deep, confident that the Holy Spirit will fill our nets with abundant grace and blessings.

Holy Cross Catholic Church

is dedicated to building a community of disciples. As we cultivate a church of living stones nurtured by the Eucharist, our vision is to foster discipleship through small groups for sharing and growing in the love of Christ and our neighbor.


We are committed to enhancing our Weekend Liturgy Experience, Hospitality Ministries, Outreach, Music, and Presentation of Christ's Message.

  • Our Values

    We are Disciples of Christ, Welcoming, Accepting, Accountable, Growth-Focused, Humble and Community Oriented.

  • Discipleship Path (STARS)

    Serve: Serve the Church, the poor, and the marginalized.


    Transform: Love God with all our heart, soul and mind through prayer and learning to love God and our neighbor.


    Accept: As Jesus does, we extend our acceptance and kindness to embrace diversity as opportunity.


    Reach Out: To those beyond the doors of the Church, our neighbor, the unchurched and the fallen away.


    Share: Share our faith, talents and treasure.

  • Our Parish Prayer

    Lord Jesus Christ,


    You call us to build your Church, not of brick and mortar, but of living stones. Give us your Holy Spirit to transform us so that, nurtured by the Eucharist, we may courageously strive to respond to your call to make disciple for your glory and the salvation of the world.


    Amen.
