ALL ARE WELCOME

We are part of the Lewisham Deanery and a parish of Archdiocese of Southwark
Please take a  look inside our Church.

Whenever we come into the presence of God in this holy church of
Holy Cross - Catford,we experience both invisible communion with God
and visible communion with each other. For more than a century, this beautiful church has been a spiritual power House for people
to have shared in this invisible and visible communion.
Please come and taste this unconditional love of God and to experience this friendly atmosphere in our Holy Cross parish.
Fr Antony

OUR PARISH RESPONSE TO COVID 19 PANDEMIC

Please use the Mass Streaming to access to HOLY CROSS Church Mass on a daily basis until further notice.

  • The Holy Mass is offered every day from 9.00 am – the congregation will join the Mass in spirit. As you can’t participate in the Mass at this time of pandemic, you can still reach out to our Blessed Lord by making a Spiritual Communion in prayer. [Please use the Spiritual Communion prayer given below.].

    Spiritual Communion [Prayer of St Alphonsus]
    My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar.
   I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul.
   Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come spiritually into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen.

  • Opening of the Church for Individual Private Prayer
The Government is allowing churches to open for individual prayer from Monday 15th June. We hope to safely open Holy Cross Church for Individual Private Prayer on Sundays, Wednesdays and Friday from 7pm - 8pm, starting from Friday 26th June. The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed whilst the church is open.
Individual prayer within a place of worship is defined as a person or household entering the venue to pray on their own and not as part of a group, led prayer or communal act. They must be socially distanced from other individuals or households. Collective or communal prayer and regular scheduled services are not permitted at this time. This includes any priest or lay person leading devotions or prayer.

Please come and pray before the Blessed Sacrament and there will be no communal rosary, group prayers or Benediction.
