We invite students to bring their energy, enthusiasm and generosity to the task of building a Catholic community at Holy Cross. In creating this community, we wish to encourage students to develop Catholic Christian values within themselves and to demonstrate these values through their attitudes and activities both within the school and in the larger community. We invite students to affirm the sacredness and dignity of the person and develop a world vision based on stewardship of each other and of our world.

Students who develop and demonstrate this awareness of their Christian mission during their years at Holy Cross may be eligible for the Christian Service Letter.

n their second Semester of Grade 12, students who wish to be considered will apply for the letter. Students must have completed a religion class in each of their 4 years at Holy Cross and have a MINIMUM of 150 hours of community service in addition to the 40 hours required for graduation. The applicants will be invited to identify their involvement in Christian Service in each of their four years at Holy Cross thus far.  Students will be asked to write an essay demonstrating their Christian commitment and leadership at Holy Cross, within the larger community, and within their parish. As they reflect on their four years at Holy Cross they will have an opportunity to identify their involvement with their peers, other racial groups, the handicapped, the elderly, new Canadians, the poor, new students, the unaccepted, the unborn, the sick, the homeless, the environment, and the emotionally distressed.
