Built in 1922 at the intersection of Dubuc Street and Traverse Avenue, this church is the oldest English-speaking Roman Catholic parish in St. Boniface (now part of Winnipeg). It was dedicated at a service on 10 December 1922 attended by priests Wilfred Louis Jubinville, Lapointe, Boule, and J. Filion. The building survived a major fire in 1990.
Among the priests of Holy Cross Church was Lionel Bouvier (1952-1953).
