Holy Cross Parish is appreciative of their financial supporters.  Their stewardship allows the mission of the Holy Cross  community to continue.  

The Diocese of Eastern Oklahoma has created a universal offertory page where you can donate anytime online to any parish or Diocesan effort.

Please help support our local parish.  Go to https://dioceseoftulsa.org and choose the Stewardship tab. There is an option for “Donate to Support a Specific Parish” (among other Diocesan ministries) to process your online donation.

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.”

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! 
 

Holy Cross will join Catholic organizations in the Diocese of Tulsa and across the nation to participate in the #iGiveCatholic fund-raising campaign this year.

Celebrated annually on the First Tuesday of Advent (following Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday), #iGiveCatholic is the U.S. Catholic Church’s Giving Day that kicks off the charitable season and brings the Catholic community together to give thanks and give back. As the first-ever giving day created to celebrate our unique Catholic heritage, #iGiveCatholic inspires faithful stewards to "Give Catholic" on #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving.
 
The goal of the #iGiveCatholic Giving Day is to rally our Catholic community in support of the organizations that shape our souls: our parishes, schools, and nonprofit ministries. Contributions can be made at iGiveCatholic.org during our Advanced Giving Day Phase beginning on Nov. 15, continuing right into #GivingTuesday, Nov. 30!
 
Although it is easy for people to give online (https://www.igivecatholic.org/) from wherever they are in the world, donors are welcome to bring a donation of cash or check to the parish. There will be a Second Collection at the Masses on the weekend of November 27-28 and envelopes will be available in the pews during the Advanced Giving Phase.  All donations are tax-deductible and online donors will immediately receive an email tax receipt from #iGiveCatholic confirming their gift amount and organization designation. 

Advent is considered penitential and calls Catholics to prepare for the great solemnity of Christmas. It is a time to remember the promise of Jesus' second coming and lessen the influences of the world so our minds and hearts are more focused on God. Click here to Download an Advent Calendar to use to help you pray through Advent, by participating in the acts of prayer, sacrifice and service in each box. You can simply hang it up in your office or kitchen or cut out each box and include with your traditional Advent calendar!

Spend a few moments each day of Advent on a Journey with St. Joseph. This special e-mail series will explore Joseph as a man of courage, love, and acceptance. The messages also include suggestions for further exploration of Advent themes through additional online articles and prayers.

Featured authors include Bishop William D. Byrne, Barbara Lee, and Joe Paprocki. End this Year of St. Joseph by joining this series.

Sign up at the Loyola Press to receive the daily messages beginning the First Sunday of Advent, November 28, 2021, through Christmas.
