Chaplain's Corner

Greetings Holy Cross Family, and welcome to the 2023-2024 Academic year.  If you are familiar with the Liturgical year calendar that the Church follows, you will know that we are not at the beginning of the Church year, but actually winding the year down in a season called Ordinary Time. In the Liturgical year, Ordinary does NOT mean a habitual rhythm or something plain and unimportant.   Ordinary time is numbered or ordered time.  We are not feasting like we would be in Christmas and Easter, and we are not fasting like in Lent – but we are spending our time in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ.  So, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives.  There’s nothing ordinary about that! What a great time of year for school to start! As we continue our journey at Holy Cross this year, please keep our school community in your prayers that as we walk together we do so in a spirit of encouragement, love and support, and always with Jesus at our side.  

All the Saints at the Holy Cross of Jesus, pray for us!
