It is essential for the Catholic family to grow in a Christian mentality and preserve its Catholic identity, and this is strengthened through participation in a truly Catholic Community. We are developing such a community here at Holy Cross. It is an extension of the family joining those with common tradition, beliefs, and goals.
At Holy Cross Academy, all subject matter is unified through its foundation in the truth, enlightened by the Catholic Faith. We recognize that students are whole persons - mind, body and soul, and that a balanced formation of all aspects of the person is essential. Students learn to develop as rational beings: how to reason, think logically and make sound judgments in all aspects of life. They also learn to develop as spiritual beings: how to make correct moral decisions, grow closer to God and develop a deeper love for the Faith, the Sacraments, and their neighbor. There are many opportunities to put what is learned into practice through fun, prayer, and charitable works.
Our vision is to provide a unique opportunity for our youth; an opportunity to develop into the future leaders of the community, of the Church, and of their families. Holy Cross believes that our greatest treasure and greatest gift to the future is our children. The work accomplished today will generate the fruits and rewards of tomorrow.
"Youth make up an exceptional
potential and a great challenge for the future of the Church. In fact the
Church sees her path towards the future in the youth, beholding in them a
reflection of herself and her call to that blessed youthfulness which she
constantly enjoys as a result of Christ’s Spirit. In this sense youth are
'the hope of the Church.' "
Pope JOHN PAUL II - Christifideles Laici
