HOPE Appeal

The HOPE Appeal is the annual giving campaign of the Diocese of Syracuse.  Every year the programs and services supported by the HOPE Appeal touch countless lives in every city, town, and rural area in our  diocese.  When the goal of the HOPE Appeal is achieved, we ensure that these programs will receive the funding that is needed.  Please take a moment to view this year's HOPE Appeal video to see how your gift makes a difference in the lives of so many.

HOPE Appeal at Holy Cross

The weekend of September 10th is HOPE Appeal Weekend! Together, when we pledge our gift to the Annual HOPE Appeal, we are giving thanks to Christ for the innumerable gifts we’ve been given and helping our friends and neighbors who benefit each year from the diocesan good works funded through our annual appeal.

Our Parish Goal

Father Kurgan is asking all parishioners to contribute to this year’s HOPE Appeal. If we all give, we will easily meet Holy Cross’s HOPE Appeal goal of $92,649.06. If we exceed our goal, 100 percent of the excess will be returned directly to our parish. In an effort to meet our goal, Fr. Kurgan is asking every family in the parish to consider a gift of $325.00 (less than $0.90 a day or $27.00 a month). If you are able to contribute more, I strongly encourage you to do so. Your gift, no matter the size, whether it is a pledge or a one-time gift, is important.
