Support 6th Grade Trip Fund Raiser

Order by Friday, December 6.

Pick up on Monday, December 16, 3:00—6:00 PM in the Parish Center.

Last year, for the first time ever, the sixth grade class of Holy Cross School went on an incredible over-night trip and experienced unforgettable camaraderie and remarkable experiences! Every member of the class could attend the trip without charge. They worked hard to earn the funding, AND the class had so much support from their school and Church community—all of YOU! 

We’d love to do it again! We are beginning our fund raising with items which everyone purchases during the Christmas season —The sixth grade class is teaming up with

Fabulous Flowers to provide you with florist-quality Christmas decorations that will add sparkle to your homes!

Red Poinsettias in foiled pots, Evergreen Wreaths with velvet bow and pinecones (Deluxe also has berries and trim,) Low & Round or Low & Long Evergreen Center Pieces with candle(s) ribbons, pinecones, and berries! Interested in ordering?

Complete the order form found in the November 17 bulletin, attach a check and bring it to the parish office--they will see that the school gets it! 

Thank you so much for your support of this endeavor! You are a remarkable parish community and we appreciate you.
