Description

edit

The complex consists of a group of four brick buildings: an 1860 Gothic Revival church (remodeled in 1885 and 1907), an 1871 Italianate rectory-convent, a 1903 Romanesque Revival school, and a 1928 Tudor Revival rectory. The church has a cruciform plan and features a 200-foot steeple composed of a 125-foot tower and a 75-foot copper-clad spire. A shallow choir loft contains the 1886 organ with its stenciled pipes. The Archdiocese listed the church as a German parish until 1959.[2]

Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]

Joseph Maskell was assigned to Holy Cross from 1982 to 1992.[3]
