About Me

Fr. Victor E. Novak: Ralston, Nebraska, United States; Fr. Victor Novak is the pastor of Holy Cross parish, located in the Ralston suburb of Omaha, Nebraska. Our address is 7545 Main Street, Ralston, Nebraska 68127. Holy Cross is an Orthodox Bible-believing congregation, and is pre-denominational. Our cultural, liturgical and spiritual heritage and patrimony is English, Celtic and Hebrew, and our roots go back to the ancient Christian community in the British Isles which was evangelized nearly 2,000 years ago when the Gospel was taken to Britain directly from Jerusalem in 37 CE by Joseph of Arimathea and his companions. Our mission is to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, teach the faith which was once delivered (Jude 3) in the first century, and prepare a people for the coming of the Lord. Everyone is invited to worship with us, and visitors are always welcome. We are a faithful and friendly congregation, and we have a place for you!
