TOMORROW IS A NON-UNIFORM DAY! TGI last Friday of the Month! 

Parent Volunteers Needed for Lilac Festival

HCCS will be out at the Children’s Tent at the Lilac Festival on Saturday May 8th. In addition to handing out information about our awesome school, there will be sidewalk chalking and a building creation area for us to oversee. The event runs 10am-4pm and we are looking for volunteers to pop in for an hour or two throughout the day. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Meyer at ameyer@defianceholycross.org or 419-784-2021

Parent Volunteers Needed for Field Day Things that Go

Our field day will take place on Monday May 24th. From 9:30-11:30 we will host our “Things that Go” event in the school parking lot. We are in need of parents to help students interact with the many different “exbibits”. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Meyer at ameyer@defianceholycross.org or 419-784-2021. Students will get to explore all of the exhibits – some will be hands on, some will be just to look. Antique cars, trucks, farm equipment…our list of “Things That Go” for students to explore is growing! If you have a “thing that goes” that you would like to offer for our two hour event, please contact Mrs. Meyer.

First Communion Prayer

Congratulations to all students who will be making their First Holy Communion this weekend at St. John’s!

O Jesus, You have loved us with such exceedingly great love as to give us the ineffable gift of the Holy Eucharist, inflame us with a burning zeal to promote Your glory by praying for Holy Cross Students to prepare worthily to approach Your holy table for the first time. Protect, O Sacred Heart of Jesus, this young soul from the assaults of evil, strengthen his/her faith, increase his/her love and endow him/her with all the virtues that will make him/her worthy to receive You. Amen.
