Mid-Summer Parish Update Upcoming Events, Recap of Spring and Early Summer Celebrations Mid-Summer Parish Update Upcoming events, recap of spring and early summer celebrations. Featured Event | Friday, July 27, 6 p.m. | Farewell Dinner for Fr. Andy Our pastor, Fr. Andy Santamauro, is leaving at the end of the month for a new assignment on the East Coast. Join the parish in a sendoff supper on Friday, July 27, beginning at 6 p.m. While registration is not required, it will help those planning for this event. Contact Betty Blackmon or Yvonne Fisher for more information. Our new pastor will be Fr. Bart A. Karwacki OFM Conv., also from the Conventual Franciscan Friars of Our Lady of the Angels Province. His previous assignment was at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in Seaside Heights, N.J. SUMMER TIME: STAY INVOLVED TIME While some may consider the summer months a time to slow down and take life easy, that’s not totally the case at Holy Cross, where parishioners continue in various ministries year ‘round. Why? Because despite what Ella Fitzgerald and many others have sung over the years, the ‘livin’ isn’t easy for everyone, in the summertime or any season. So, don’t let the heat wilt your commitment to make a difference. Ministries of service and mercy continue, throughout the year. Check out the following opportunities to get involved. Now through Aug. 12 | School Supply Drive Holy Cross is again participating in the Crayson2Calculator (C2C) School Supplies drive. Donating to C2C serves the educational and creative needs of students in Durham Public Schools by providing free school supplies to classroom teachers. Teachers report that they spend on average $1000 of their own money to supply their classroom each year. Help fill the bins located in the gathering space at Holy Cross with the following supplies. • Dry erase markers • Clip boards • Boxed sets of color markers, mechanical pencils, colored pencils, #2 pencils and Sharpies • Construction paper and tape (clear, masking, and duct) • Tissues and bottles of hand sanitizer • Student and adult scissors Save the Dates: August 20 and 21; November 5 and 6 | Families Moving Forward. Holy Cross is one of the area churches providing volunteer support for this ministry that helps families in their transition from homelessness. Volunteers share a meal and provide childcare while the parents attend workshops to help them in their transition. Contact Elizabeth Deshaies, our parish’s volunteer contact, for details and to sign up to volunteer in August and November. She is also seeking volunteers to fill in at planning meetings when she is not available. September 9, 1-3:30 p.m. | “Doing God’s Work in Love,” a luncheon and presentation launching the Holy Cross’s Justice, Peace and Human Concerns Commission’s (JPHCC) 2018-19 Season. Fr. Michael Lasky, OFM Conv., chairman of the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission for the Our Lady of the Angels Province, will be speaking. Third Saturdays, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. | Quilting Ministry. After a brief summer break, the Holy Cross quilters are back at their sewing machines in the Holy Cross Multipurpose Room. Quilts are created from recycled and new fabric and jeans. Stop by in August to see how it’s done, and to join in this fun ministry. Lead quilters Cherrie Siewert and Lori Crump will show you how it’s done. Questions? Call them at 919-381-0699 (Cherrie) or 919-490-6861 (Lori). All are welcome. The quilts are donated to those in need in the community. Tuesdays, 5:30-7:00 p.m. | Garden Ministry. The garden has yielded over 200 pounds of produce so far this year. All are welcome to stop by Tuesday evenings to help harvest, wash and pack the produce for delivery Wednesday morning to Catholic Charities in Durham. Volunteers are always welcome to help with weeding. The garden is in the parish’s ‘back yard.’ If you know a weed from a pepper or tomato plant, you're welcome to stop by and pull a few when you need to work out some angst or extra energy. Not sure about the plant/weed distinction? Contact Deacon Phil or Anna Rzewnicki. They'll be glad to help. In the Community Holy Cross Joins Durham Congregations in Action (DCIA) Holy Cross is now a member of DCIA, with Ava Thompson, coordinator of our Justice, Peace, and Human Development Commission, serving as our liaison. Holy Cross has long been involved with several ministries that are part of DCIA, including Families Moving Forward (formerly Interfaith Hospitality Network) and Urban Ministries of Durham (recipient of meals provided by our Casserole Ministry). DCIA’s mission is to bring together congregations to promote understanding across boundaries of faith, race and ethnicity, and to build an inclusive community of justice and peace. At DCIA’s June 19 meeting, Ava Thompson was among the members who voted to approve a resolution calling for federal government to stop zero-tolerance” detention of immigrants. About DCIA DCIA was established in 1969, when four congregations in downtown Durham organized the Inner-City Church Council to address together needs for transportation and visitation for the elderly, and soon also started programs for children and youth,” as stated on the DCIA website. The organization “incorporated in 1972, and during the next six years, membership grew to 12 congregations. In 1976, the group’s name changed to Durham Congregations In Action. Membership continued to grow and now includes dozens of congregations of Christians, Jews, Muslims, and others cooperating together in service. Over the next three decades, DCIA “built a history of initiating cooperative programs among people of faith to address unmet community needs and put belief into action against poverty, racism and violence.

  • Summary of Graduate Intentions: 2001-02
    Evaluation & Research Department October 2003 E&R Report No. 02.30 SUMMARY OF GRADUATE INTENTIONS: 2001-02 Overview: Wake County Public Schools graduated 5,406 seniors in 2001-02, and 89% intended to continue their education after graduation. Near the end of each school year, high school seniors complete a Graduating Seniors Intention Survey that serves multiple purposes: it reveals the immediate intentions of each graduating senior; it specifies a select college to receive final transcripts; and it provides a forwarding address for possible follow-up surveys. Using these surveys, guidance counselors and principals complete a composite report of the postgraduate intentions of all students receiving diplomas at any time during the current school year. The required report summarizes intentions by ethnicity and gender. The Evaluation and Research Department (E&R) then compiles the individual school reports and transmits them to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. This report is a brief summary of the information for graduates in the 2001-02 school year. The survey asks students to indicate whether they plan to: • enroll in four-year institutions (broken down by public or private) and whether or not their intended college is in or out of North Carolina; • enroll in two-year community, technical, or junior colleges (broken down by public or private) and whether or not their intended college is in or out of North Carolina; • enroll in trade, business, or nursing schools; • enlist in military service; • seek employment; • do something other than the items listed above. For summary purposes, all four-year institutions are combined, and all two-year institutions are combined in this report.

As capital of North Carolina, Raleigh has carefully preserved its heritage and beauty. One can still enjoy the comfort of a shaded oak, browse through one of many magnificent museums, or admire the architecture of a historical building. Here, the past and future live together in harmony. Raleigh was established as the capital city of North Carolina in 1792, over 200 years ago. However, its history reaches back to sixteenth century England and Sir Walter Raleigh, the Father of English America. Sir Raleigh established the first English colonies in the New World on the shores of North Carolina, working under a patent from Queen Elizabeth I. Raleigh is unique among American state capitals in that it was established on land specifically purchased by the state for its government seat.
