Holy Cross (Manhattan) New York, NY - ホーリークロス教会（マンハッタン、ニューヨーク）

Holy Cross Church is a Roman Catholic church located at 329 West 42nd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, near Times Square and across the street from the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

The Holy Cross Parish was established in 1852 and a chapel erected, which the congregation quickly outgrew. In 1854, a new building was constructed and dedicated, but lightning struck this second structure in 1867, and the ensuing fire severely damaged it. The current church was constructed to a design by Henry Engelbert on the site of the damaged building and completed in 1870. It is notable as the oldest building on 42nd Street.

he parish is especially associated with the popular ministry of the Reverend Francis P. Duffy.

In 2015, the parish of Holy Cross Church merged with the parish of St. John the Baptist Church, on West 30th Street.

The exterior of Holy Cross Church shows a red brick facade with flanking twin towers in an Italianate Gothic form.　Inside, the church reveals an eclectic mixture of Georgian classical, Romanesque and Byzantine forms.
