HOLY CROSS PARISH HISTORY
Gordon Head Mission started in February 1980 with a small group of families and Father Joseph Jackson CSSp. as first Pastor.
After three years of praying and meeting at the Gordon Head Community Hall on Tyndall Avenue, where Mass was first celebrated on February l7, 1980, a new facility was opened. Holy Cross Roman Catholic Church on Gordon Head Road was blessed on February 27, 1983. The Parish has, since the beginning, been a welcoming community of volunteers active in liturgical and social events.
Under the leadership of Father Joseph Jackson, Sister Pat McMahon and Father Leo Robert, the parishioners knit together as a Parish and University Community. The University Catholic Community flourished under the guidance of an ecumenical team of which Father Leo Robert and Sister Judi Morin SSA were members. Sandra Lucier was the University Chaplain from 1990 to 1996. In the summer of 1996 Kate Fagan Taylor joined the Pastoral Team as University Catholic Chaplain.
