The History of Holy Cross Parish
presented by Marie Poinan
Tuesday, May 13, 7 p.m., Greece Public Library
Holy Cross started in 1862 as a satellite church of Our Mother of Sorrows and served the Village of Charlotte. In celebrating the anniversary of its founding, a committee uncovered treasured items such as official documents, deeds, and scrapbooks that had been in storage for years. Hear the stories of early parishioners, who included fruit farmers, blast furnace workers, and Ontario Beach Park concession owners.
