Welcome to the Holy Cross English-Speaking Catholic Community's Website. We have created it so that Catholic visitors and newcomers to Maputo can know that there is Catholic Mass every Sunday at 7:00 & 9.30 Hrs at Holy Cross Church, and so that our members and others can learn together and share our Faith.

Holy Cross Church is attached to the parish of Santa Ana, in the Diocese of Maputo, Mozambique. Whilst not a parish as such, our community life includes practically all the activities you would find in a parish. We celebrate Mass every weekday at 6.30; there are many liturgical and sacramental activities happening each week. You can find more information on the Groups & Liturgy page, which also tells you about the Catechism arrangments we have at Holy Cross. On special occasions - and sometimes just because... - we celebrate socially too.
The community is growing, not only in numbers, but we hope too in faith and good works. Fr Joseph, our former chaplain, feeds our spirit with his daily reflections. The city of Maputo is a microcosm of the world, with so much need interspersed amongst considerable wealth; as part of our Faith in action, we support a variety of charities around the city.

Our membership and our history demonstrate the global nature of our Community, and our Community Council is made up of members from each continent. Wherever you come from, whatever your history, we are sure you will find a kindred spirit at Holy Cross. Take a look at us!

We hope you find our website informative, enjoyable and entertaining. If you have a question or want to find out more, contact us; and if you have suggestions or requests for this website, or something isn't working quite as it should, please let us know.

Enjoy!
