Welcome to the website of Holy Cross Parish – the Catholic Church in the Bedminster, Southville and Long Ashton area of Bristol, in the diocese of Clifton. ​

We are a growing and enthusiastic parish, centred around the worship of God in the Holy Mass, the source and summit of our Christian life. From the Mass we draw strength and joy to seek to grow in holiness and in service to all God’s people each and every day.

​On this website you will find information about our parish, our services, our activities and groups, and our exciting fundraising for the restoration of our beautiful church.

Parish School

Our parish school represents the future of our parish and welcomes us each weekend for Mass. We are proud of our school and its witness to Christ in our area. Please visit the school website by clicking the button below.
Below are pictures of the stained glass window in our war memorial chapel. It is possibly made by C. E. Kempe Studios, on account of the maker's mark, the wheat-sheaf - which was taken from the coat of arms of Charles Eamer Kemp. ​Several figures in the scene also bear a striking resemblance to those on the stained glass in the Anglican All Saints Church in Wraxall, Somerset, which was installed in the late 19th century by C. E. Kempe
