Parish History

Introduction

When Bishop Schrembs established the parish of Holy Cross in 1924, it was his desire that this parish be a strong sign of God's love in the neighborhoods of Euclid and Cleveland.

From its humble beginnings to today, the people of Holy Cross have creatively worked to build up a community of faith. Through the hard work of our early founders who faced the challenges of economic depression and war, a strong foundation was established in the name of Christ Jesus. They used their gifts of time and talent to establish and care for the parish as it grew.

This history tells the story of a people who through success and failure struggled to bring about what is present here today– a parish that proclaims the Good News of Christ through worship, education, service and community.
