Dear Holy Cross Parents,

Again, thank you for choosing Holy Cross of San Antonio.  Our new school year is off to a very fine start. The students are happy.  Seeing them greeting and embracing one another is very encouraging. They really care for one another.  To our returning parents, welcome back.  And to our new parents, welcome to our Holy Cross Family.

We remind you that our Third Annual President’s Blue and Gold Gala is nearly upon us.  It will be on Saturday, September 20, 2014.  The proceeds from the Gala go to financial assistance.  With these proceeds we are able to assist families who want their children to receive a Holy Cross education.  Paying tuition is difficult for many families but we want them to have the opportunity to be members of our Holy Cross Family.

We would like to see our current parents in attendance at the Gala.  This is an opportunity to get involved and to meet alumni and alumni parents.  Hopefully each class could have a table or join with another class to share a table.  Please check with your class representative.
