Fr. Danny Murphy 1944-2024

Posted on by Cyndi

It is with profound sorrow and reverence that we announce the passing of our beloved Fr. Danny Murphy. Fr. Danny was called to eternal rest in the late afternoon of December 12, 2024. We are deeply grateful for the many years of faithful service he gave to Holy Cross Catholic Church, and his loss will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

In keeping with Fr. Danny’s wishes, his funeral Mass will be celebrated in his native New York. We will gather here at Holy Cross for a Memorial Mass in his honor once his funeral has been held. The date of the Memorial Mass will be announced in due course.

Let us hold Fr. Danny in our prayers, entrusting him to the mercy and peace of our loving God. May his soul rest in the eternal light of Christ.

Pre-Campaign Survey

Posted on by Cyndi

In October, we began a Pre-Campaign Study to determine the thoughts and opinions of Holy Cross Parish on conducting a capital campaign to address the beautification and structural needs of the Church, especially following the tornado damage. Since then, our consulting firm, Ruotolo Associates, Inc., has conducted over 30 personal interviews and three focus groups. The next phase of the study is this online survey which is being sent to ALL of our supporters.

We invite you to participate in this survey. The results of this study are essential to determine how we will proceed with the Campaign, and your involvement in this planning process will be greatly appreciated. 

Please complete the following survey by midnight on Thursday, December 19th.  And be assured all answers to your questions will be sent directly to Ruotolo Associates and held in the strictest confidence: Please use the following link to access the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/holycross
