PUBLICATION OF OBITUARIES

 

The Office of Institutional Advancement is responsible for maintaining and updating the database information of our community, including the reporting of death notices.

​

We find that the publication of these notices provides important information, and our community has been grateful for the opportunity to attend services and pass condolences to the family and friends.

​

These notices come to us from many sources, including alumni, class officers, family members, Holy Cross Prep staff and faculty, and returned mail. They also come in many forms - phone calls, letters, newspaper obituaries, notes on gift reply forms, surveys, etc.

​

For accuracy we do require verification, such as an obituary column or a letter from a family member, before publication and updating our database.

​

The announcements of the passing of members of the Holy Cross community are published by the Office of Institutional Advancement in newsletters and select social media sites.

​

Obituaries are published when the deceased was one of the following:

• Any alumni of Holy Cross High School, Holy Cross Academy, or Holy Cross Preparatory Academy

• Current or past faculty, administrator, or staff members

• A longtime major donor whose giving has had/will continue to have a significant impact on campus.

 

We rely on the Lancer network to share this news with us. To notify us of a recent death, please contact John Langan, Director for Institutional Advancement via email, or phone 856-461-5400 Ext 3006.
