RTICLE Families from near and far gathered to celebrate the annual Holy Cross Church Feast in Yorktown Sunday, Sept. 14. The event was held on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, a significant date in the Catholic Church worldwide. Preparations for the event began in July.
Dedicated coordinators spent weeks securing raffle prizes, auction items, organizing volunteer schedules, and handling countless behind-the-scenes details that make the event possible.
The feast is truly a team effort—from stuffing parishioner letters in the church office to stuffing sausage made from a beloved age-old family recipe in the dining hall. Volunteers began food preparations on Saturday, baking cakes, peeling potatoes for potato salad, marinating cole slaw and cooking beans, while some spent overnight hours tending the pits to perfectly grill shoulder clod —all made with care and community spirit.
