Holy Cross School Toy Drive

This year, Holy Cross School is once again collecting new, unwrapped toys to brighten up Christmas for local children in our community.

We are collecting all toys, no matter how big or small, from now until Tuesday, December 16. Just bring your new, unwrapped toy to the Middle & Primary School Office or the High School Office.

All toys collected will be donated to our local partners, churches, and community centers. Help us give the gift of Christmas to the boys and girls in our local community.

Give the Gift of Sauce

Still looking for unique gifts to give this season? Head over to Bud's Broiler and gift the BBQ aficionado in your life some of their sauce.

For the month of December, 100% of proceeds from all BBQ Sauce sales will be given back to Holy Cross. Anyone who purchases sauce, whether affiliated with Holy Cross or not, is helping support the school.

This Give Back is only available at the following locations:

5101 Canal Blvd. (next to Morning Call) or at 2929 N. Causeway Blvd. (across from Lakeside Mall).

Give a Holiday Legacy Gift

This holiday season, give a unique gift that continues the legacy of Holy Cross. Commemorative gifts are a meaningful way to honor lasting connections with Holy Cross School. Memorial Bricks and personalized Gazebo Bench Plaques offer a permanent tribute on campus, allowing families, alumni, or recent graduates to leave a visible mark in a symbolic space.

Visit the Holy Cross Spirit Shop Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
