Mission Statement:

Holy Cross Parish, located in the Southeast Bronx, is a Roman Catholic multi-cultural, community of diverse economic, educational and social levels. Rooted in the Franciscan tradition, we are dedicated to the achievement of maximum human and spiritual development and dignity of all persons whether active or alienated.

The clergy and religious, in collaboration with an empowered laity, strive to establish the Kingdom of God through prayer, liturgical celebrations, quality education at all levels, the fostering of social justice, ecumenism and sound stewardship. We are brothers and sisters seeking to be one in spite of our diversity.
