The mission of the parish of Holy Cross — St. John the Baptist, standing in the Roman Catholic tradition and in the spirit of the Capuchin Franciscan order, is to be Christ in the City. We assist the spiritual, social, and personal development of the members of the parish, the community of midtown Manhattan, the people of the greater New York metropolitan area, as well as visitors from around the world. We strive to fashion a holy space for all who seek peace, holiness, and sanctuary – individually or in common. We are a responsive and evolving community encouraging growth in our relationship with God and with one another, so that through these grace-filled relationships together we might discover the divine gifts of strength, joy, and happiness.
