Holy Cross RC Church
Religious Organization in London
Holy Cross Church was opened by Bishop Amigo on 14 September 1904 - the Feast of the Triumph of the Cross. Originally serviced from Lewisham, the new church's 1st parish priest, Fr Edward Escarguel, was installed on 7 January 1905. The church had to wait until July 1960, however, to be formally consecrated. Holy Cross was one of over twenty churches built in the early years of the twentieth Century under the financial patronage of Miss Frances Ellis (1846-1930) an heiress who converted to Catholicism and was received into the Church in January 1901.

Readings
read moreThe word of the Lord was addressed to Jonah: 'Up!' he said 'Go to Nineveh, the great city, and preach to them as I told you to.' Jonah set out and went to Nineveh in obedience to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was a city great beyond compare: it took three days to cross it. Jonah went on into the city, making a day's journey. He preached in these words, 'Only forty days more and Nineveh is going to be destroyed.' And the people of Nineveh believed in God; they proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least.

It is kept beside the altar during Paschal time and is moved to the side of the font for the rest of the year. What is Paschaltide? Paschaltide lasts from Easter Sunday until Trinity Sunday. We continue to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord during this period. 40 days after Easter there is the feast of the Ascension and 50 days after Easter the Feast of Pentecost.
