Holy Cross Church

Holy Cross Church recognized the need for a new facility to serve its growing congregation, thriving religious education programs, and active parish events. Beardsley Architects + Engineers collaborated with more than 50 church representatives to develop a clear facility master plan that addressed immediate space requirements while preparing the Parish for future growth.

Following a two-month planning process exploring multiple design options, the Parish moved forward with construction of a new church on the original site. The church accommodates 700 worshipers in the main nave and an additional 200 in an adjoining chapel and choir loft. Behind the custom marble altar, a dramatic wall of stained glass fills the sanctuary with vibrant, colorful light. The space is also equipped with adaptable audio-visual and lighting systems to support a variety of services and events.

A spacious vestibule welcomes parishioners, while a side wing provides modern office space. Below the main sanctuary, a large assembly hall with a full kitchen supports parish functions and gatherings. Additional classrooms and a children’s chapel create dedicated areas for religious education and youth activities.

Thoughtfully designed with attention to tradition and community connection, the new Holy Cross Church stands as both a place of worship and a central gathering space for generations to come.
