Holy Cross Prep Parents Year-end Update for May 22, 2026

I want to sincerely thank you all for your continued support of the program throughout this year and in past years as well. Mr. Joseph Villella will be taking over for me, effective September 1, 2026. Joseph currently teaches at Holy Cross Elementary School and will continue in both roles next year. Your cooperation in all aspects of our program was sincerely appreciated!

PREP Coordinator's Message

Welcome to Holy Cross PREP! Please continue to visit this site throughout the year to stay connected with our latest updates. As a reminder, registration forms are currently available directly on the Registration page.

Holy Cross PREP is dedicated to the spiritual development of the whole child through a rich, comprehensive Religious Education Program. In our classrooms this year, we look forward to exploring our core theme, "Proud To Be Part Of A Catholic Community," as well as the Archdiocesan theme of "Living, Celebrating, and Proclaiming our Faith." I am filled with great anticipation for the upcoming year and cannot wait to welcome our students back!

Sincerely in Christ,

Mr. Joseph Villella
