Holy Cross, founded in 1852, has been serving at “The Crossroads of the World” and “Hell’s Kitchen” for all these years and has grown and changed with the new neighborhood. An oasis of peace and serenity in one of the busiest areas of our City, it is a beautiful, sacred space which welcomes so many people over the course of the day. Here, as a parish community, we give daily thanks to God in the Eucharist, in a place serving as a beacon of faith, hope and charity. It is a daunting task to continue serving here in Times Square but with the prayerful assistance and generosity of our parishioners and friends we do the utmost to responsibly administer the programs, finances and facilities of Holy Cross. Together, staff, parishioners, visitors and friends make Holy Cross the "Miracle on 42nd Street."

I hope that your visit to our website will not only give you an insight into Holy Cross Church but also encourage you to stop by in person for Mass or just a visit when you are here “at the Crossroads of the World.”

  Sincerely,
  Fr. Peter

Dear Parishioners,

In celebrating Christmas, we rejoice in the fact that God so loved us that He chose to become one of us. The happiness we feel at this time of year is our response to our loving God.

This Christmas may our prayer for us and our parish be for continued growth in
holiness and unity.  As we celebrate our 160 year on 42 Street in 2012,  may our prayers be also for growth in membership so that Holy Cross can continue our mission of spreading the Good News.  Christ is with us and with His help we can accomplish this.

Our Christmas prayers are also needed for peace in our world, especially as the bloodshed in the Middle East and Africa continues. We also pray for our Church throughout the world as we attempt to achieve this peace.
Christ's blessings this Christmas and throughout the New Year.
