Friends,

It is exciting that we are coming to the end of a successful school year. Holy Cross Catholic School celebrates the end of its first year counting the many memories that have made for such a wonderful ministry. I thank God for the many children, parents, and parishioners who have made our first year so memorable. We have many things for which to thank God.

I believe that this ministry deserves our attention as it addresses the way we can respond to the world around us. In God's blessings or with our burdens, HCCS continues to teach our children the ways of Jesus Christ. Our discipleship in Jesus Christ helps us in all ways of life. We rely on our Lord to guide us and keep us faithful to our Heavenly Father.

If you have not already enrolled your student at HCCS, I invite you to make an appointment with Sr. Lynda Snyder, SND who can answer all your questions regarding our school and the education opportunities it offers your young person.

 
We adore You O' Christ and we praise You, because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.  Compassionate and loving God, You have been gracious to us and blessed us in the past.  You continue to be generous in sharing Your gifts with us.  Help us to prepare and provide for the future of Catholic education in Defiance.  May our sacrificial gifts be pleasing and acceptable to You.  May we look forward to our future united in faith, confident in hope, and sincere in our love for You and the work of Your Church.  Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.  St. John the Evangelist, pray for us.  Amen.
 
Fr. Todd
