This past Saturday, our Holy Cross Knights helped the Inner City Development with their annual toy drive. The toy drive is organized for families throughout the Westside. Our students joined volunteers from Marshall High School, and the community. The students also met a volunteer who is a Holy Cross Graduate of 1989. It seems that the Holy Cross heart is one of service no matter what year one graduates.
