About Us

Progressive; active in efforts for social justice; traditional liturgy.

Holy Cross is a diverse urban parish, worshiping in a beautiful building that is over 100 years old! Our life together is grounded in worship of God, using the liturgy of the Book of Common Prayer and traditional Anglican music. Our calling is lived out in fellowship and care for one another and, most especially, in our commitment to serve in God's name the poorest of the poor in our Shreveport-Bossier City community.

What is the community like?
Friendly, all ages but light in numbers on the children's end. We hope to increase our numbers of young families. Lots of traditions within the parish; committed to serving the needs of our neighborhood and the poorest of the poor of our community. Through the years Holy Cross has been in the forefront of ministry to people often forgotten: those with HIV AIDS; the elderly; the homeless. All people have always been welcomed here, even when they were not welcome in all churches. At present, our primary ministry is to the homeless people who populate the neighborhood. We own and operate a day shelter down the street. We are exploring the changing needs of the neighborhood and will be expanding our ministry.

What if I'm not a Christian?
We welcome you! We'd love to be in dialog and ministry with you. Please come visit us. We'll get to know one another and see where our relationship and God will lead us.
