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.

Altar Servers:
Mass serving in the sanctuary is a special privilege and honour. We serve not only our Lord, who made heaven and earth, but also God’s holy people. Our next training session for beginners is at 3.30pm on Saturday 29 February, beginning with refreshments in the hall. As we journey, in faith and friendship with Jesus, towards the beautiful ceremonies of Holy Week and Easter there are many tasks for the Altar Server. We look forward to welcoming you.
