Capital Campaign Fund
Our Holy Cross Capital Improvements Campaign is an important initiative to preserve, restore, and improve our sacred church home for future generations. Launched following our May 2025 General Assembly, this campaign focuses on two essential projects: replacing the church furnace and restoring the church pews.
These upgrades are necessary to ensure the comfort, safety, and beauty of our worship space. As stewards of our church, we are called to maintain and care for the space that brings us together in faith, fellowship, and service.
We invite all parishioners, families, and friends of Holy Cross to join us in this vital effort. Every contribution—whether large or small—makes a meaningful difference.
Donations can be made by check, cash or credit card.
“Together, let us build on the strong foundation of our past and invest in the future of Holy Cross.”
Church Heating System Upgrade
Our current heating system at Holy Cross is over 60 years old and has reached the end of its functional life. Originally installed when the church was built, the furnace now operates inefficiently, struggles to heat the full sanctuary evenly, and poses growing maintenance and reliability issues—especially during the colder months.
This system is not only outdated, but it also lacks energy efficiency, leading to higher operating costs and an increased risk of sudden breakdowns that could disrupt services and events.
As part of our Capital Improvements Campaign, we are prioritizing the replacement of the entire furnace and heating system with a modern, high-efficiency unit that will:
Provide consistent, comfortable heating throughout the church
Reduce energy consumption and monthly utility costs
Improve airflow and air quality
Church Pew Restoration
The pews in our sanctuary have served Holy Cross faithfully for decades, but time and use have taken their toll. Many of the pews are now loose, unstable, and coming apart at the joints. They shift and wobble, creating safety concerns and distracting from the dignity and stillness we strive to preserve during worship.
In addition to their structural issues, the pews show significant wear in the wood finish and upholstery, reflecting years of use without the benefit of a full restoration. Repair work is no longer a sustainable option—the entire seating system requires proper restoration and reinforcement to last into the future.
As part of our Capital Improvements Campaign, we are committed to:
Reinforcing and securing all pews to eliminate shifting and movement
Repairing damaged woodwork and restoring the natural beauty of the wood
Refinishing and reupholstering where needed for both appearance and comfort
Ensuring the layout and alignment of the pews enhances accessibility and symmetry in the church.
