Two years ago, as planning began for our 130th anniversary celebration we recognized a need for improvements in our school beyond those covered through the annual fund. A close friend and benefactor, Mr. Alphonse Stroobants, gave us an initial gift and challenged us to raise the remaining funds needed. So began campaign 130 to celebrate 130 years of Catholic education in the Lynchburg area. After meeting his $350,000 challenge, Mr. Stroobants presented a special Christmas gift of $150,000, bringing our total donations to over $500,000.
We are grateful to our pastors and parishioners, the greater Lynchburg community, our alumni, parents, staff, faculty, students and all who listened to our Holy Cross School story and responded with generosity, prayer and support. We have renewed old friendships and forged new ones. Your support and generosity made the difference and it is with your continued partnership that we begin the next 130 years.
Holy Cross School is committed to educational excellence grounded in Catholic/Christian values of faith, honor, tradition, and service. We invite you to visit and witness the fruit of your generosity.
