Holy Cross will gather online along with the entire Diocese of Virginia for a service of Morning Prayer officiated by our bishops. Bishop Goff will preach and Bishops Brooke-Davidson and Taylor will be there, too. In these times, it is important to gather in new and different ways, and this presents an opportunity to gather as one diocese. The Diocese wants to celebrate with all of us, and, it being Labor Day, give Virginia’s devoted priests, staff, and worship leaders a break. Since March, Holy Cross’ staff— and many volunteers!—have been working heroically with online and now outdoor worship, pastoral care, and formation, all in a strange new world of electronic connection. This creates a tiny sliver of real Sabbath time for all of us, especially as we prepare for our own Holy Cross Day on September 13.

Holy Cross will not hold its own virtual or in-person, outdoor service over Labor Day weekend.

Visit the diocesan YouTube channel at 8 AM, or Facebook page at 8 AM or 10 AM.
