Dear Holy Cross Families,

Thank you for making this week so special for our teachers! On Monday, we were welcomed with sidewalks and doors decorated with special messages to begin the celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week. On Tuesday, we received beautiful tulips and today students are wearing their teacher’s favorite color. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next two days. Thank you parents and thank you HASA for supporting our teachers and staff and recognizing their hard work with such thoughtfulness.

During the month of May we also celebrate and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary with our traditional May Crowning. Marco Bajuyo and Megan Barnes have been chosen to crown the statue of Mary with a ring of flowers. Placing this crown of flowers reminds us of the never-ending love of our spiritual mother, Mary. Our May Crowning Mass will be held this Friday. Our 7th grade class will plan and attend the Mass with the PK immersion and traditional classes. If you have a child in either of those grades, you are welcome to come and celebrate Mass in the church, otherwise you can view the live-stream Mass via Zoom. Please look for the link later in this newsletter.

Looking ahead…

Next week’s newsletter will have information about the 2021-2022 school year, including the calendar and information about the YMCA afterschool program being held here in our school building.

Below are a few Summer Camp Opportunities for some of our students:

Queridos padres y guardianes,

¡Gracias por hacer esta semana tan especial para nuestros maestros! El lunes, fuimos recibidos con banquetas y puertas decoradas con mensajes especiales para comenzar la celebración de la Semana de Agradecimiento a los Maestros. El martes recibimos hermosos tulipanes y hoy los estudiantes se vistieron con el color favorito de su maestro. Estamos ansiosos por ver lo que nos espera los próximos dos días. Gracias a los padres y gracias a HASA por apoyar a nuestros maestros y personal y reconocer su arduo trabajo con tanto cariño.

Durante el mes de mayo también celebramos y honramos a la Santísima Virgen María con nuestra Coronación de Mayo. Marco Bajuyo y Megan Barnes han sido elegidos para coronar la estatua de la virgen María con un anillo de flores. Colocar esta corona de flores nos recuerda al amor eterno de nuestra madre espiritual, María. Nuestra Misa de Coronación de Mayo se llevará a cabo este viernes. Nuestra clase de séptimo grado planificará y asistirá a la misa con las clases tradicionales y de inmersión de Pre Kinder. Si tiene un hijo en cualquiera de esos grados, puede venir y celebrar la Misa en la iglesia; de lo contrario, puede ver la Misa en vivo a través de Zoom. Busque el enlace más adelante en este boletín.

In his apostolic exhortation, Patris Corde, With a Father’s Heart, announcing this Year of St. Joseph, Pope Francis explains that Joseph is a model for our contemporary world of true fatherhood, one that doesn’t abuse authority and power but places it at the service of others. Francis states, “Every true vocation is born of the gift of oneself, which is the fruit of mature sacrifice. The priesthood and consecrated life likewise require this kind of maturity.”
Interestingly, the Holy Cross Brothers were originally founded as the Brothers of St. Joseph by Fr. Jacques Dujarie in 1820, to meet the educational needs of post-revolutionary France. Because of Fr. Dujarie’s failing health, the local bishop asked Fr. Basil Moreau, who had recently founded the Auxiliary Priests from Holy Cross (Sainte Croix), to take on leadership of the brothers. In 1837 the Brothers of Saint Joseph and the Auxiliary Priests from Holy Cross were united into the Congregation of (from) Holy Cross. Father Moreau then founded the women’s branch of Holy Cross as the Marianites of Holy Cross... The United States branch took the name the Sisters of the Holy Cross…
