Jesus said ..., "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. John 11:25-26
As we enter Holy Week, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and the promise of new life! What a great school we have in Holy Cross where we can be our very best in faith, academics, character and service. I wish all our families a very Blessed Easter and an enjoyable Spring Break.
