Holy Cross Catholic Church to hold groundbreaking for new locale

Holy Cross Catholic Church, a fixture at 1400 S. Alston Ave. for the past 69 years, will hold a groundbreaking ceremony Sunday at 3 p.m. for a new church on a 20-acre site on South Alston Avenue, just south of Riddle Road.

The sign went up at the site this week. Hutchins Construction Inc., a local design/build contractor, and Doug Griffin, a Durham architect, are the creative forces behind the new church project, which will have 16,000 square feet of space. This includes a sanctuary that will seat 400, an activity hall with kitchen, entrance foyer, offices and classrooms. The present church seats about 95. The projected completion date is the end of 2007.

Hardy Hutchins, president of the construction company, said the plan is to begin work in April on what he estimates to be a $2 million project.

This will be his company's 24th church in Durham in 10 years.

"I really enjoy building churches," he said. "In fact, I have a calling. It's part of my Christian commitment."

Although growth is a primary reason that Holy Cross members voted to build on a new site -- the church now has 300 families and about 750 in the congregation -- its decision was also influenced by the fact that N.C. Central University, the church's neighbor to the north, expressed interest more than two years ago in buying the church property for its own expansion.

Pastor Stephen Garrity, a Jesuit priest, said that Holy Cross was founded by a Jesuit who came to Durham in December 1939. The Jesuits purchased the property and built the present church and also bought the property on which the new facility will be built.

A capital campaign among church members has raised $910,000 to go toward the construction of the new church, with the remainder to be picked up by the Jesuits.

Holy Cross began as a mission to minister to black Catholics in Durham, and the church has never lost this part of its founding purpose.

"It is our desire to maintain our African-American roots in the building and design of this church, and we would like the liturgy to show our strong connection with our African-American roots," the pastor said.

Today, the church's membership is about 75 percent black, making it the only predominantly black Catholic church in the Diocese of Raleigh.

"A large majority of our congregation are professionals, people connected with Duke, UNC, Central and N.C. State, both students and faculty members," Garrity said.

"We have many people in the medical field and a lot of educators."

Masses at Holy Cross are held at 5 p.m. on Saturday and at 9 a.m. and 11:45 a.m. on Sunday. The Sunday 9 a.m. Mass features a gospel choir and is the one most influenced by black music and culture, the pastor said.

The other Masses follow the more traditional Catholic liturgy.
