Comments

The Holy Cross Catholic Church, Sheffield is in the Parish of Mersey-Leven and the Diocese of Hobart. Although the need for a Catholic Church in Sheffield had been recognised and plans began in 1904, it was not until November 1922, the that vision was realised, and the present church building was opened by Bishop William Barry. The church celebrated its centenary on 6/11/2022. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 4/4/2023.
