Holy Cross School is fortunate to have a dedicated educational team who is focused on providing the best possible quality of Catholic education possible to all students who attend. Many students attend Holy Cross School who do not follow the Catholic faith, but do benefit from the sense of community present at the school, and dedication to a quality education in a safe, caring environment.
Every month, Holy Cross School gathers as a school to celebrate Mass at Holy Cross Church. Masses occur at several points throughout the Liturgical Year and several feast days are celebrated, such as the Feast of the Holy Cross, All Saints’ Day, Christmas, the Epiphany, and of course, Easter.
Holy Cross Parish was established in 1922, and is the first established English-speaking church in St. Boniface, Manitoba. Due to the growing number of English-speaking Catholic families within the Parish and community, Holy Cross Parish was instrumental in establishing a Parochial school, in 1925.
Holy Cross School receives the guidance of Fr. Martin Bradbury, Pastor of Holy Cross Parish. His dedication to the education of students at the school is focused first and foremost on the well-being of the child and the building the foundation of the teachings of Christ in their daily lives.
