Dear Parishioners, Last November after the mass shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, Bishop Olson sent a memorandum to all parishes to examine their safety and procedures. At Bishop s direction, Holy Cross Parish has worked on improved security at our facilities by partnering with local law enforcement. The first phase of this process was to conduct a security site survey to review our shortcomings and make improvements to the facilities to help reduce the chances of becoming a victim of future crime. To date, several noted areas of weakness have been addressed and additional improvements are currently under consideration as we expand our church campus. Our second phase of this initiative is to help protect our parishioners in the unlikely event that Holy Cross is ever targeted by an active shooter. Although preplanning for such an event will not guarantee the safety of everyone, our goal is protect as many as humanly possible. Therefore to better protect us, our parish has teamed up again with local law enforcement. The Colony Police Department has offered to give us a presentation dealing with active shooter incidents. To better streamline this presentation, it was determined to limit this presentation to the following: Ushers, Sacristans and all parish staff members. Expanding future presentations to others in the parish will be determined after this initial training. As member of one the above listed groups, I am asking each of you to attend this important presentation to help keep us safe at Holy Cross. This presentation is scheduled for Friday April 13th at 7:00 pm. The material in this presentation is not designed for children, so children do not attend. In order that we can have an accurate head count, please RSVP the church office before April April 8, HolyCross Catholic Church Marriages / Matrimonios Marriages require a six to nine months preparation period. Please contact Araceli Astorga at , for more information. Los Matrimonios requieren un periodo de preparación de seis a nueve meses. Comuníquese por favor con Araceli Astorga al ,
