YORKTOWN, TX — On Sunday, September 14, parishioners and families from the area gathered at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Yorktown to celebrate the annual Holy Cross Church Feast, held in conjunction with the global Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
The event began early in the morning with volunteers preparing traditional foods, including grilled shoulder clod, homemade sausage crafted from a secret family recipe, beans, potato salad, cole slaw, and a wide assortment of cakes. The meal served as both a fundraiser and a reflection of the community’s deep-rooted culinary heritage.
Children enjoyed bounce houses and face painting, while adults participated in a lively auction and musical entertainment. Local band The Rusty Steins performed patriotic favorites, including “God Bless America,” which drew enthusiastic applause and dancing from attendees.
Organizers said the purpose of the feast was to foster fellowship, celebrate faith, and support the ongoing mission of Holy Cross Catholic Church and its Mission Church, San Luis. Both churches offer regular Masses, Reconciliation, religious education, and sacraments to the community. Faith-based organizations such as the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Daughters, and the Guadalupana Society also remain active in parish life.
“We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who volunteered, donated, and attended,” church representatives said. “This celebration was a joyful success thanks to the generosity and spirit of our parish family.”
The Holy Cross Church Feast continues to serve as a cornerstone event for Yorktown, blending tradition, worship, and community support in a single day of celebration.
