Holy Cross Parish

Following his final weekend Mass at our parish, the St. Vincent de Paul Society members presented Father Freddy Claudio with a certificate of appreciation, honoring his nearly seven years of dedicated service at Holy Cross.

Last Sunday, the CWL presented Father Freddie with a chasuble as a farewell gift, marking the conclusion of his seven plus years of dedicated service to our parish.
We extend our deepest gratitude to Father Freddie for his inspiring leadership, spiritual guidance, and ministry. You will be dearly missed!

A huge thank you to Joseph Oligo for his incredible dedication to our parish mini-garden! Every year from spring through summer, Joseph nurtures a beautiful variety of vegetables - including tomatoes, bitter melon, gourds, lettuce, and eggplants.

Joseph’s work is a true ministry of community and care. During harvest season, he shares his crops with parishioners and sells a portion to fund the garden's ongoing upkeep.

Join us on Saturday, June 6th, 2026, as we bid a fond farewell to Father Freddy Claudio after seven wonderful years as our parish priest. Together, we will express our deepest gratitude for all he has done for our parish community.

Mass will be celebrated at 4:30 p.m. Following the Mass, all are invited to the church hall for a reception to offer well wishes on his new assignment as pastor of St. Wilfrid’s Parish in North York.

Father Freddy’s last day with us will be June 23, 2026.
