Welcome to Holy Cross School
We at Holy Cross School fully embrace the traditions and values of the
Catholic faith. Because we are a Catholic school of the Archdiocese of
Chicago, we can and do discuss morality and ethical behavior as it
relates to the students. There is a conscious effort to help our
students develop and maintain a value system that they will carry with
them into adulthood.
Our faculty and staff serve as role models to demonstrate a life of
faith and the Christian behavior we strive to develop in our students.
In religious education classes, teachers also explain the basic beliefs
of the Catholic Church, prepare students for the sacraments, and discuss
Scripture.
The students' faith is further strengthened through:
• Daily Prayer
• Frequent classroom visits by Holy Cross Church Pastor,
• Weekly Mass for each grade level
• Seasonal all-school prayer services and Masses
• Sacrament of First Reconciliation
• Sacrament of First Communion
• Altar Server Training
• Liturgical Ministry
• Choir
• Service Projects
• May Crowning
• Holy Week Dramatization
• Christmas Music Show
• Mentoring Programs
