Outdoor Adoration
Remember you also have the opportunity to spend time with Jesus “face to face” on the patio outside the parish center Library.   The patio has four chairs placed six feet apart for those who would like to come and spend time in a quiet outdoor setting with the Lord.  The patio is accessible by entering the gates at either end of the parish garden.  Out of respect for one another, we ask that you wear a mask if others are present with you.

The Reopen Our Church Committee will continue to develop plans to reopen the church that will be accomplished in stages across many weeks. They will be following the directives of the Diocese of Peoria. If you would like to volunteer for any of the three subcommittees –Setup, Greeting, and Cleaning– please email the parish office at office@holycrosscatholic.org.  

SUPPLIES NEEDED
We have enough supplies to safely reopen, however, as more and more places get back to business, those supplies might become scarce. If you would like to donate any or all of the following supplies to the church, please drop them off in the vestibule of the parish center during office hours.Disposable Masks
Hand Sanitizer
Disinfectant Spray (such as Lysol or an EPA approved disinfectant)
