Bishop Konderla has decreed . . . “In gratitude for the providential lessening of the danger of the pandemic and for our good and for our salvation, it is with joy that I restore our Sunday obligation starting Saturday, May 22, 2021, the Vigil of the Solemnity of Pentecost, and issue updated policies and procedures regarding COVID-19.
Thus, like the empowerment of the Apostles at Pentecost, may the Holy Spirit help us use this time to deepen our devotion to the Holy Eucharist and to reclaim Sunday as a day of worship, leisure, and family time.”
Other Policies Include:
1) Face Coverings for those attending Mass are optional
2)  Social Distancing at Mass--Overall, the majority of Masses offered by a parish and the majority of all seating at any Mass should be open seating.
3) The following should be reinstated (a) the use of hymnals, missalettes, and other similar materials; (b) the use of Holy Water founts; (c) the normal practice of collections during Mass; (d) the procession of the gifts; (e) the sign of peace; (f) a normal routine of sanctuary sanitization; (g) a normal routine of exiting the sanctuary after Mass; (h) “cry rooms” and other similar facilities; (i) social receptions after Mass; and (j) the use of extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion.  Although holding hands during the Lord’s Prayer is still prohibited, as it is not part of the Mass in the Roman rite.
4) Masses may still be livestream via social media, but should not otherwise be posted or stored online—persons viewing a livestream should only have the opportunity to do so during the live celebration of the Mass.

The above information was taken from the Bishop’s Decree.  The complete decree, in its entirety, can be found below.

PHYSICAL MASSES have resumed and THE OBLIGATION TO ATTEND has been reinstated by the Bishop.  HOLY CROSS CHURCH will continue to stream Mass on the Holy Cross Facebook page; however, these videos will only be available live during the scheduled Mass times.

WELCOME TO HOLY CROSS CATHOLIC CHURCH

The word “Catholic” means universal, and that is really what the Catholic Church is—a universal body of believers, united in Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Our Catholic family is made up of every race, age, and walk of life. For centuries, the Catholic Church has been the place to turn to for the source of Christian belief, an intimate encounter with Jesus Christ, a welcoming family, and a guiding light to reach heaven.

The longing you have in your heart to find a relationship with the God who loves you and accepts you unconditionally can be fulfilled through Jesus and our Holy Cross Catholic Community.

Come join our friendly family atmosphere at Holy Cross.

Mission Statement/Prayer

Almighty God, the mission of Holy Cross Parish is to bring the love of Jesus Christ to our community and the world.  As your disciples, help us to touch the hearts of everyone in a way that enhances human spirituality and will bring all people into the fullness of your Kingdom. 
Through Christ, our Lord, Amen! 
 

In light of Pope Francis' Apostolic Letter to all bishops on the "Use of the Roman Liturgy Prior to the Reform of 1970", Bishop Konderla has issued a decree regarding how these guidelines will effect the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma. In the Decree, the bishop “granted permission authorizing the use of the 1962 Roman (Latin) Missal at Holy Cross, provided that a capable and competent Diocesan priest is available and is assigned to the liturgy with the permission of the local pastor.”
