Dear SPC Families,
Tomorrow Night, April 28th, Live Band Karaoke
I look forward to seeing you at CTS tomorrow night! Click here to RSVP if you haven't already purchased your tickets. It is going to be a very fun event!
Welcome NEW Director of Technology, Mr. Tom Foster
Hello SPC Community!
I am your new Director of Technology: Tom Foster. I am so excited to be at St. Paul of the Cross and have been pleasantly surprised by how often I've heard, "You're going to love it here." I can honestly say that I already do! Thank you for the kindest welcome I've received in education.
As for my own personal education, I am a graduate of The University of Illinois (I-L-L) with a bachelor's in Rhetoric and English. Additionally, I have a M.A.T. with a concentration in Secondary English from Roosevelt University and an M.A. in Educational Leadership from NEIU.
That education guided me through eleven years of teaching high school English, where I was a PLC Leader, AP Language & Composition Teacher (College Board Reader), and Co-Teacher. Most recently, I was the Assistant Principal and Director of Technology at St. Raymond School in Mt. Prospect.
I live in Elk Grove Village with my wife (Amanda) and my two daughters: Ella (2) and Emma (1), so most of my time is spent loving and adoring my girls. They are all looking forward to meeting you at some SPC events! Please introduce yourself to me, and let me know if I can be of any assistance! Thank you again for all of your kindness. –Tom Foster
Thank You for Your Almsgiving!
Thank you to all the students who made sacrifices to donate to the Lenten Almsgiving. We collected almost $5000 to help feed the men and women religious in Cuba!

VIP DAY! (Very Important Person Day) May 11th, 2023
Preschool – Grade 3
We look forward to hosting VIP Day on May 11th! Students in grades Grades Preschool- 3rd may choose any special person to come and share an activity together. Please note the following:
- Each student will be able to bring 1 VIP to school.
- VIPs will report to the classrooms during the assigned time for refreshments and activities; the activities only last 45 minutes.
- It will be a full school day, and students will return to class after the VIP activities.
- Unfortunately, the 2nd floor of the EGC is not handicap accessible, impacting Grades Kdg - 2nd.
- This year we are hosting Career Days for Grades 4th-8th, so we are limiting VIP Day to Grades Preschool-3rd.
Schedule:

Great News!!
The HFC Family Mass is Starting Up Again!!
Many of you may remember that we used to have Family Masses in Holy Family Chapel (the basement of the church), where the Readings and Ushering were done by the children and the Homily and the Lord's Prayer were all geared towards the children.
The Parish will be restarting this beginning May 14 @ 10:30 and then they will be monthly!!
Add all the dates for the summer Family Masses to your calendar!
