Our Church is Open                        for Private Prayer

While Bishop Matano has suspended all public Masses throughout our diocese, he has encouraged parishes to be open so the faithful can stop in for private prayer. Here at Holy Cross (as it is at the time this bulletin is being prepared), our church will be open on Wednesdays from 1:00 until 5:00 PM and Saturdays from 8:00 until 9:00 AM (this, of course, is subject to change if new directives are made). We certainly ask anyone who is sick/not feeling well that you not come to church in an effort to avoid the possibility of making others sick. You will enter through the North door of church or the Parish Center doors (the other doors will remain locked). There is hand sanitizer available when you enter and everyone is asked to use it upon entering. We ask that everyone be very conscious of social distancing—please stay at least 6 feet apart when in church. Let each of us remember this time is set aside for private prayer and to be respectful of each other, we ask that there be no socializing in church—just social distancing. 

Still open for Confession at 3:30 PM on Saturdays.

Calendar and Upcoming Events

Parish Life is how we define fellowship at Holy Cross. It’s the many opportunities to share and enjoy God’s gifts of friendship and fun with other who share the same Christian values.

Our phones will still be open so you are able to call and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.  All calls should be to the Parish Office 585-663-2244 for quickest response. 

Our e-mails are still available and we will do our best to answer you as quickly as possible.  However, it is with sadness that I share, with such closings as school and office, we have had to furlough some employees.  Please pray for all affected by this pandemic in one way or another. 

May God Bless you and keep you and your families safe and healthy. Peace.

Who We Are

Holy Cross Church is a community, rich in talents, skills and gifts, and united in faith. We are a stable parish, fortunate to have a cross-section of ages including many who are second or third generation parishioners. Bring your gifts or your needs and you will find a hand to join with yours.

Funeral Planning

Funeral directors usually make contact with the church for funeral arrangements. Once this has happened, the families are encouraged to be involved in the planning of the liturgy. Contact Mary Jo DiNoto by calling the parish office at 585-663-2244.

We want to keep our teachers, volunteers, and all of our students as safe and healthy as possible! 

As everyone knows, this situation changes daily, and we will re-evaluate as often as is necessary. 

Thank you for all your hard work this year teaching our Religious Education children!

Blessings on you and your family that you remain safe and healthy,

Sacrament Preparation

God is actually present among us; we can see Him, hear Him, touch Him, and communicate with Him...in the Sacraments. A major responsibility of Holy Cross Church is to guide all parishioners with their preparation to receive a sacrament for the first time.

Online Giving Benefits

Online Giving: Is easy, convenient and safe. Allows you to give any amount, anytime from any device with Internet access. Puts all offerings at your fingertips to print receipts and track pledges.

Day of Goodness Tri-Fold with Registration

Youth

We all want to feel needed and valued. Our young people have this same need. Keeping this community of believers involved is a task to which we are all called. They seek a community where their needs are met and where they feel they belong.

Religious Ed Calendar

Dear Holy Cross School Families,

Due to the closing of Greece Central School District, Holy Cross School will be closing as well to protect and safe-guard our students and their families.

We will be working on sharing available resources for childcare, meals, and online resources with you as they are available. Each teacher will reach out to you with specific information regarding instruction. 

Thank you for your patience and understanding.  Our Holy Cross Family is strong and I know that we will support and take care of each other.  

Love and prayers,

Mary Martell
