The Holy Cross Fathers’ Club and the Holy Cross Mothers’ Club are volunteer organizations of parents, guardians, and alumni parents of Holy Cross students.
Volunteers are the key reason for our successful school programs and the development of our resources. They are committed to serving the mission of the school through service to the Holy Cross community.
By virtue of the fact that your child attends Holy Cross, you are all members of the Fathers’ or Mothers’ Club and can participate in a variety of activities depending on your availability and interests. There are countless ways to share your talents while getting to know other parents. You can also join any planning committee. We utilize the Sign Up Genius App to streamline donations.
We strongly encourage you to attend club meetings to find out what is happening at Holy Cross. Meetings are held monthly and are noted on the school calendar, the school website and in periodic e-communications.
