Students Welcome Their Grandparents!
 
In November Holly Cross students invited their grandparents to join them for Mass followed by cookies in their classrooms.  We were excited that so many of our special guests could join us!

6th Graders Perform with Ron Cooley!
 
Again this year our 6th graders had a special privilege.  They all learned to play the guitar under the instruction of Mrs. Hall, our music teacher, and Ron Cooley, a member of Mannheim Steamroller.  After weeks of instruction, the guitarists held two performances under Mr. Cooley's direction.  Bravo, 6th graders!  And a big thank you to Mrs. Hall and Mr. Cooley for making such a wonderful opportunity possible at Holy Cross!

Have You Prayed Today?
 
Throughout the year students in the classrooms and Holy Cross parish shut-ins pray for each other.  In addition to prayer, students also send holiday and birthday cards to their Prayer Partners.  Both find the bonds of friendship and prayer very inspiring. 
 
On October 28th the 7th and 8th graders led the school in a Living Rosary in Holy Cross Church.  The students formed the "beads" of the rosary, lighting candles as they recited the prayers.  It was a beautiful and inspiring prayer to end the month of October.

8th Graders Attend Retreat
On Saturday, October 4th the 8th graders held their Confirmation Retreat at the Columban Retreat Center.  Led by Tom Murray, they shared, prayed, and learned more about the sacrament that they will receive in March.  Fr. Al, a resident of the Columban community, was happy to share the mission of these priests with the students.  It was a blessed day.
