We continue to make progress towards our initial milestone of $2,500,000 needed to start
construction. We are truly blessed to have parishioners who are willing to make huge
sacrifices to support this critical project. We thank immensely for their generosity. We of-
fer our prayers to them and to those who have pledged. We still have a long way to go to reach our goal of $5,000,000. Unfortunately, this is not
something the steadfast few can accomplish alone. We need everyone in the parish to sup-
port their church and pledge to make this dream a reality. Many of you contribute to the
success of the parish in various ways and it is greatly appreciated. The time is now to go
beyond your current level of support and make a financial investment in the future of this
parish. There are over 2000 families registered at Holy Cross, and up to today, we have pledges
and cash of $2,022,619.56 with 250 families participating! If you have not pledged, please
find it in your heart to complete the pledge form located in the pews and place it in the
box in the back of the church or go to www.holycrosscc.org to pledge online. Give In Faith Today for our Future.
Nosotros continuamos haciendo progreso hacia nuestra meta de $2,500,000 que se necesitan
para comenzar la construcción. Nosotros estamos verdaderamente bendecidos de tener feli-
greses que están dispuestos a hacer grandes sacrificios para apoyar este proyecto tan im-
portante. Les damos inmensamente las gracias por su generosidad y les ofrecemos nuestras
oraciones a todos ellos y a los que ya han hecho sus promesas. Todavía tenemos un largo camino que recorrer para alcanzar nuestra meta de $5,000,000.
Desafortunadamente esto no es algo que los que ya han decidido participar, puedan lograr
solos. Necesitamos que todos en la parroquia se decidan a hacer su promesa para hacer de
este sueño una realidad. Muchos de ustedes contribuyen de diferentes maneras para el éxito
de nuestra parroquia, y esto es enormemente agradecido. Ahora es tiempo de ir mas allá de
nuestro nivel de apoyo actual y hacer una inversión financiera en el futuro de esta parroquia. Tenemos más de 2000 familias registradas aquí en Holy Cross, y hasta el día de hoy, con un
total de 250 familias participando, tenemos en promesas y efectivo $2,022.619.56. Si usted no
ha hecho su promesa, por favor tóquese el corazón y llene la forma de compromiso que tene-
mos en las bancas de la iglesia y deposítela en la caja que esta al entrar a la iglesia o vaya a
www.holycrosscc.org para hacer su promesa en línea. Dé con Fe Hoy para nuestro Futuro.
