Who We Are
We are a welcoming, inclusive, open and affirming Christian congregation whose worship is grounded in the rich Anglican tradition. Throughout our 30-year history, we have learned what it really means to be a community gathered by God. It’s all about unity, and practicing love and forgiveness in a polarized world. At Holy Cross, you are invited to love and be loved by God who has created us all to be one in a sacred and unbroken unity. This is the same God who calls each of us by name, who accepts us with unconditional love, and who offers what the world cannot give – peace that passes all human understanding.

Richard Hogue, Jr.
Vicar
The Reverend Richard Hogue Jr. grew up in the Northern Wisconsin where he was deeply rooted
in the Episcopal tradition and the natural beauty of wilderness. Before ordination, some
formative experiences shaped who he is as a priest today, including volunteering in the slums of
South Africa and as a lay missioner in the Diocese of Newark. He then attended seminary at the
Church Divinity School of the Pacific in Berkeley. Most recently, Rev. Richard served as the
Associate Rector of St. Andrew’s Encinitas.
