Thank you for your Giving Tuesday donations!

Your GIVING TUESDAY donations will be used to purchase native plants for the Smith Parish Center Courtyard to replace the invasive species that have been removed.

An enclosed quiet space without play equipment, the Parish Center courtyard is a place for reflection and learning, where students explore nature and engage in quiet play and outdoor classroom instruction. Our Parish Community Building Team hosts events in the Courtyard in their efforts to bring people together in Christian community. Our Parish Center Quo Vadis residents enjoy their time in the courtyard both individually and collectively.

This project is one component of our Church Properties/Outdoor Space Initiative that was undertaken in response to the 10th anniversary of Laudato Si’ (Praise Be to You), the encyclical of Pope Francis, that calls for integral ecology and care for our common home.

In recent remarks, Pope Leo XIV recognized Laudato Si’ as a vital witness to ecological conversion in action. His message underscored the Church’s commitment not only to reflection and dialogue but also to measurable steps toward achieving the goals.

The donation portal will remain open if you would like to help us reach our $1,800 goal by making your tax-deductible online donation TODAY!

Thank you for your interest in, and support of, Holy Cross Parish and School.

ELEVATE your giving in December!

The Notre Dame Federal Credit Union/ELEVATE December Incentive is here! This is a great opportunity to support Holy Cross Parish and School at no cost to you! The donation is a give-back that comes from using your Notre Dame FCU/ELEVATE credit or debit card to buy gas, groceries, and anything else your family needs. Beyond this promotion, 1% of most non-PIN purchases, all year long, goes back to your designated charity! Each ELEVATE cardholder, who has designated Holy Cross Catholic Church in South Bend as their charity, who makes one purchase with their ELEVATE debit card (bypass PIN) or ELEVATE credit card in December counts one time as a unique user. For every 10 unique user purchasers, Notre Dame FCU will make a $2,500 donation to your designated charity. That means 20 users with one purchase each will generate a $5,000 donation, 30 users would make that donation check $7,500.

This is a non-PIN purchase in any amount, with your ELEVATE card (not bill pay or online). Please, PARTICIPATE! If you do not have an ELEVATE debit or credit card, all the information you need to become an ELEVATE member, and support Holy Cross Parish and School at no cost to you, is on the Notre Dame Federal Credit Union website. NotreDameFCU.com/ELEVATE  Thank you for your support!
