Holy Cross Catholic Parish

This Catholic men’s group meets monthly, but offers much support to our parishes and many charitable agencies. They are Catholic men of faith and men of charitable action who also grow their own personal faith through many spiritual programs. Men join, but it is a family organization.

Currently, Holy Cross Parish is home to two councils. Council 255 meets at Saint Peter's Church, and Council 13127 meets in the parish center at Our Lady of Victory

The environmental stewardship ministry launched year 2006, when a committee was established to examine Catholic teachings regarding stewardship of God's Creation and related social justice issues. During the fourteen years that followed, the environmental stewardship committee gathered for regular monthly planning and goal setting meetings, except for the months of July and August. 

Regular monthly meetings are currently on hiatus, due to the COVD-19 pandemic. It's anticipated that once restrictions are lifted, the Environmental Stewardship Ministry's committee will be in a position to re-establish itself and restart initiatives to assist the clergy, the parish and area Catholics to move ahead with Care of Our Common Home.
