Holy Cross Parish

Club 55+ ’s stated goal is to meet Holy Cross Parish seniors’ life necessities including spiritual, health, and social supports, all provided within a mutual helping, entertaining and companionship environment.   While the focus is on the members of Holy Cross parish, it also reaches out to our neighbours who are non-parishioners.

The objectives of this Seniors’ group are to provide a better quality of life by offering opportunities for seniors to be more social, active, embrace volunteering and enhance their learning. These members benefit directly from networking, learning and engaging in related programs and services.  The planned activities address the issues that seniors meet day-today in their twilight years. The Club’s Planning Team consists totally of volunteers who give generously of their time, effort and skills. 

The Club members meet twice a month, from September through June. An invitation is extended to attend the 12:15 Mass prior to the 1:00 pm start in the parish hall where members enjoy a nutritious lunch and participate in social conversations, card games including bridge, etc.

The Club members also look forward to and participate in outings that include trips and plays at the Upper Canada Playhouse. 
Club members enjoy in-house activities as well including Christmas party celebration, sing a-longs and features lunch and many home-baked goodies. Other activities can also include guest speakers, etc.

The Club is active in supporting parish events and fund-raising initiatives. These include Parish Feast Day, Christmas Craft and Bake sale, and many other shared activities too numerous to list.

We extend an invitation to all who are interested in learning more about our Great Club.
