I hope that you will find this parish to be a welcoming and open place to discover who God has created you to be. Saint Thomas Aquinas tells us that the final purpose of all people is to flourish and that the way we come to this flourishing is through the grace of God in Jesus Christ our Lord. This vision of human flourishing is not about attaining material wealth but striving for the immaterial love that leads to the transformation of every part of our lives. Whom we love will determine who we are. And who we are at Holy Cross is a people who love God and love our neighbor. This parish prides itself as a haven for the downtown neighborhood as we welcome the stranger, the homeless, the sick, the needy, and all others who might find themselves in our area.
