A Memorial Day Prayer

Big picture

Father in Heaven,

Bring us peace and make us peacemakers.

Grant us the courage to work for your Kingdom

So that justice can flourish in our world.

In your mercy, gather in all of the brave men and women

who have given their lives so we can be free.

Let them live forever with you in heaven

Freed from pain in your loving embrace.

Comfort their families,

Who have also sacrificed for us.

We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Class of 2023 Legacy Gift To HOly cross

Traditionally, the graduating class presents a gift to Holy Cross as a thank you that also leaves a lasting legacy in their honor. This year, the class voted and chose to purchase a commercial microwave and cart so that students are able to warm up items in the lunchroom instead of only bringing cold lunch options from home.

Thank you, Class of 2023!
