Holy Cross Parish

Holy Cross Catholic School has a very close relationship with Holy Cross Parish.

The Parish Priest is Father Sebastian Fernandes, OFM, Cap.


The Capuchin Friars are an autonomous branch of the Order of Friars Minor founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209. The friars commit themselves to live a fraternal and Gospel way of life in the spirit and footsteps of St. Francis of Assisi.

The Capuchins seek to live poorly and simply in fraternity, to embrace penance, to have a special love for the poor and suffering, to imitate the gentleness and mercy of Jesus and to live out their charism in union with the Church and Mary.
