Service Projects
“To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love, For it is in giving that we receive. . .”
~ from The Prayer of Saint Francis
School Wide Service Projects
- Raised over $1300 for the Children's Cancer Association and the restoration of the HCCS gym floor.

The students and families of Holy Cross Catholic School participate in many service projects throughout the school year. We have school wide service projects; the Penny War for the CCA, food drives for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry, praying for the seminarians of the Archdiocese of Portland, and turning in our Halloween candy to send to military men and women serving our country. Each class also chooses a service project to complete during the year. We know that in giving, we receive.
