Our Philosophy
Holy Cross Elementary School is a Catholic community called by God to share in the mission of the church. With Christ as our center, the parish, teachers and parents work closely together in love and prayer to create a joyous and challenging place of learning. Each child will be encouraged to grow intellectually, physically, socially, aesthetically and above all, spiritually. By preparing our students to be responsible and active members of the Church, we are building God’s kingdom.
Principal's Message
Welcome to Holy Cross Elementary School. We are a dynamic faith and learning community
committed to developing the full potential of each child. Our students are provided with a strong
foundation in the Catholic faith, an outstanding academic program, excellent co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities, and service initiatives that span both locally and globally.
Holy Cross is blessed with caring and dedicated educators, committed to providing enriching
opportunities, assisting and inspiring students to become life-long learners. Parents are active
partners in the school and there is a wonderful sense of community and belonging.
This year’s Archdiocesan theme is “Proclaiming Our Faith”. Let us pray for our school community
that God strengthen us to be joyful proclaimers of His love, and that everything that we do reflect
the light of Christ within us.
For over 65 years, Holy Cross has been setting a high standard for Catholic education in the
Archdiocese of Vancouver. We are proud to provide an outstanding educational opportunity for
our students in a faith embedded environment, and we look forward to sharing this experience
with you and your family.
Sincerely,
Mr. Peter Veltri
Principal
