On September 12, 2024, a small group of teachers and leaders from Holy Cross School and Parish in South Bend, Indiana, embarked upon a five-day immersion trip to Monterrey, Mexico.  This blog serves to document their immersion experience.  
Since 2022, this annual “Awareness Through Immersion” experience has been made possible by the generosity of the Apostolic, Justice & Peace Fund, Congregation of Holy Cross United States Province, and the hospitality of members of fellow CSC parish Nuestra Madre Santísima de la Luz in Guadalupe, Nuevo León.  The purpose of the trip is to strengthen cultural awareness and appreciation through an authentic immersion experience. 

Please consider pledging to the Annual Bishop’s Appeal this year.

By giving to the Annual Bishop’s Appeal, you answer God’s call to discipleship by supporting His work throughout the diocese.  Your gift has a two-fold effect: it supports the work of diocesan services, ministries and programs, and it offsets our parish goal (which we will need to make up if we don’t reach it).  Any overage will stay in the parish to help us meet our $50,000 debt payment this year or to fund upcoming major projects.
