Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)
Light of the World
Speaker SeriesHoly Cross has a variety of speakers come to speak throughout the year. The topics are varied and are certain to be thought-provoking. Eucharistic Adoration |
Why Catholic is an adult formation program based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Participants meet in small faith sharing groups which meet for 6 weekly sessions, with each session lasting about 90 mintues. Sessions are held 2 times per year, during the Lent and Advent seasons. 
Spirit & Truth is a community of young adults (ages 18 and up, single & married) who share the common goal of seeking God. In our world today, it is difficult to find others who are striving for goodness and faith. Keeping it real, we support each other in the walk of following Christ. 
R.C.I.A. is the process by which both Catholics and non-Catholics learn about the Catholic Faith. Typically, attending R.C.I.A. classes is one of the first steps taken before becoming a member of the Catholic Church. However, it is also a great opportunity for Catholics to come to a deeper understanding of their Faith. 
Light of the World is a national parish retreat which aims to help all people to have a living encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. 
Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist is displayed in the monstrance, and people come to privately pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and night. Evangelization Committee
The Evangelization Committee is responsible for the coordination and promotion of Adult Formation programs at Holy Cross. In particular, through the Guest Speaker Series and the Light of the World Parish Retreat, the committee strives to encourage a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Roman Catholic faith.
