Who We Are
Pastoral/Office Staff
Our Pastoral and Office staffs assist in all phases of care and ministering to our parishioners, along with managing all our active ministries. Lives are touched in times of difficulties and celebrated in times of joy, in a safe and caring environment for all our people.
Parish Council
Our goal has been to clarify what Holy Cross stands for and
promotes, as well as to be a member of our parish family. It lets fellow
parishioners and outsiders know what to expect from Holy Cross as quickly as
possible.

Ministry & Volunteering
The call of a parish community is to express the love of
God through a variety of ministries that are carried on by the community.
Each parishioner is called to share their gifts and talents within the
community so that the Word of God.
Liturgy
In Catholicism, the Mass comprises one of its most
definitive elements, involving unique beliefs in the liturgy of the
Eucharist, as well as the unity that it symbolizes. The Mass itself is
composed of more than just its Eucharistic liturgy, and in fact, forms a
thorough and fundamental foundation for divine worship in Catholicism.
Fellowship
Parish Life is how we define fellowship at Holy Cross. It's
the many opportunities available to share and enjoy God's gifts of
friendship and fun with others who share the same Christian values.
Outreach
The ministry of the parish is not limited to just our
immediate community. It reaches out to other churches, both Catholic and of
other faith traditions. We are concerned about all those marginalized by
society. We must join with others to raise our voices for the Right to Life,
for Peace and Justice. Many things can be done better with the involvement
of the larger community.
History
Holy Cross began as a mission church in 1863. She was
blessed and dedicated by Bishop Timon of Buffalo on May 3rd. Reverend John
M. Maurice of Our Mother of Sorrows served as pastor for the first ten
years.
"As we were looking for a new parish, we knew there were many options. There are several that are an easy drive. We know people at most and also know the various schedules and the value each could offer. But there was something special about Holy Cross."
