History of Holy Cross Parish
It was on June 14, 1957,
that the Most Reverend Mark K. Carroll, Bishop
of Wichita, proclaimed Holy Cross parish. The third
Catholic parish in Hutchinson, Holy Cross was
created to serve some 300 families in the northern
tier of Reno County townships and in Hutchinson,
north of 14th Street.
Father Vincent G. Brown
was appointed by Bishop Carroll as the first pastor.
The first Mass was celebrated on June 23, 1957 in
the 4-H building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds.
This was the site of Sunday Mass until construction
of the new church and school building was completed.
And thus began Holy Cross parish.................... |
