Our History

Holy Cross Parish was founded in 1963 when Hackett first became a suburb. Some of our members are the original pioneer church planters, and now bring their grandchildren along. Others are younger families and more recent arrivals. We are an international community, with members from six continents and many different countries.

We have worked in cooporative partnership with St Margaret’s Uniting Church for more than sixty years, sharing our buildings and holding regular joint services. We also share the “holy roundabout” (corner of Phillip Avenue and Antill Street) with Holy Rosary Roman Catholic Church and the Australian Catholic University.
