ABOUT US
Parish Priest Father Tony Brennan
Pastoral Worker Elizabeth Ridley
Chair Parish Council Catherine Howes
Holy Cross Church was built and opened in November 1957. It was meant to be a
temporary building that would become the parish hall when a “proper” church was
built.
An Italian order of priests, the Scalabrini Fathers, moved in to say
Mass for the large Italian community arriving in the area.
In 1966 the side aisles were added to the church. It was slowly
becoming a permanent parish church serving the east side of Bedford and the
rural areas out to Great Barford.
The
Daughters of the Holy Spirit opened their convent in Bradgate Road in 1971.
When
the Scalabrini Fathers left Goldington in 1972, the Fathers of The Sacred Hearts
of Jesus and Mary (the Picpus Fathers) took over and served the parish until
2003.
When
they left, the Bishop appointed Father Tony Brennan as its first Diocesan Parish
Priest.
