HOLY CROSS DOMINICAN RC CHURCH AND PRIORY

45 Wellington Street, Leicester LE1 6HW, UK Directions

Speciality:

✓Mass ✓Adoration ✓Holy Days of Obligation ✓Livestream ✓Confessions ✓Vigil Mass ✓Baptism ✓Retreats and Spiritual Formation

"Holy Cross Dominican RC Church and Priory is a Roman Catholic parish church. By 1929, the church was too small, and Friar Vincent McNabb O.P. started to raise money for a new church. The choir and transepts of the church were finished by 1931, and the High Altar was consecrated. At last, the church was completed and officially consecrated in 1958. Holy Cross Dominican RC Church & Priory has had two church organs. The first was built by J Porritt & Son of Leicester in 1861. However, the organ was too small, so a new organ was built by William Ebenezer Richardson in 1880. Parking is available.

2026 Highlights: They provide an extensive chaplaincy and ministerial support to local universities, hospitals, and prisons."
