-From the top looking down the building is a cross. Original Churches before the schism and even after were built in the shape of a cross.
-Yup, the nave forms the main body of the church, whereas the transept intersects the nave, making the cross shape. I found this interesting.
-Beautiful church....my son was baptized there!
-I was in grade 5 at Holy Cross school and watched them build the Maple Avenue church. Was married there. Many great memories of that location and the original church on Guelph Street which is now Sacre Coeur. I was baptized in the old church as were my siblings and father. My grandfather played the organ in the old church. The basement was dug after the church was built. My grandfather Martin Cummins was one of the people who dug it our with I think Jim Boyle. The Maple Avenue church was built in the shape of a tabernacle as opposed to a cross. The newest church is lovely. Only been there once for my father's funeral. Same lovely ladies helping out. Mrs Milner for one is very special.
-In addition to a beautiful church, Holy Cross Parish has also been blessed with a terrific parish priest, Father Cull.
