About Us
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.
