Our day of celebration included Exposition at 8:30am. Adoration throughout the day. Benediction at 4:30pm

Bishop Peter Muhich celebrated Mass at 5:30pm in Holy Cross Chapel. A reception followed in the retreat center. The reception was made possible through a generous donation from Our Lady of the Black Hills parish in Piedmont.

We are so grateful for the gifts we have received . . . from the generosity of the Sisters of St Martin Monastery that made Terra Sancta possible, to the donations of time and financial resources from thousands of people who have kept this gift from God alive and thriving during the past 10 years.

Join us on Tuesday, September 27, as we spend the day in prayer and thanksgiving in Holy Cross Chapel beginning at 8am with Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.  St Elizabeth Ann Seton will join us in prayer during the school day.  Following 10 hours of Adoration, Benediction will take place at 6pm.

Michelle Skoog will offer an hour of praise & worship beginning at 6:30pm in Holy Cross Chapel.  The concert is free; free-will offerings greatly appreciated.
