A Service of Gratitude for the Legacy at Saint John’s, Kingston
On Sunday, June 1st, the people of Saint John’s, Kingston will gather for what may be their final worship service in their historic building. As they prepare to join us for Sunday worship at Holy Cross + Santa Cruz, we are invited to accompany them in this important moment of remembrance and thanksgiving at their church building.
This service will honor nearly 200 years of faithful ministry, with prayers of gratitude, blessings for their legacy, and a shared hope for the future. After worship, Saint John’s will host a special luncheon, offer brief tributes, and welcome guests for tours of the buildings and grounds.
Let us join with them as neighbors, siblings in Christ, and partners in ministry.

Pentecost Sunday – Shared Worship Life – Festive Potluck
Pentecost is a festival of fire, breath, and new beginnings. On Sunday, June 8th, we will celebrate not only the coming of the Holy Spirit—but also the beginning of a shared worship life between Holy Cross + Santa Cruz and Saint John’s.
While no formal merger or consolidation has been decided, this Pentecost marks the first Sunday both communities will gather as one worshipping body at 30 Pine Grove Avenue. It is a day to rejoice, to welcome one another, and to trust that the Spirit is leading us into something new.
After the service, all are invited to stay for a celebratory potluck—a time to share food, laughter, and stories as we begin this new chapter together. Bring a dish if you’re able, and come ready to feast and fellowship!
Please join us every Sunday for services at 10am in English and 4pm in Spanish. We have a Noon Eucharist (English) on Wednesdays. Únase a nosotros todos los domingos para los servicios a las 10am en inglés y a las 4pm en español. Tenemos una misa en ingles los miercoles al mediodía.
All seeking God are welcome at Christ’s Table.
Our vision is to be a united congregation that worships in two languages, but otherwise strives to be ONE in all aspects of our common life.
Nuestra visión es ser una congregación unida que adora en dos idiomas, pero que por lo demás se esfuerza por ser UNA en todos los aspectos de nuestra vida en común.
Holy Cross/Santa Cruz is a friendly, inclusive, open and affirming church in the historic midtown, Kingston. We are a diverse worshipping community of believers unified in Jesus Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit to receive and share God’s love, hope, joy, vitality and vision as we serve others.
If you are new, know that you are always welcome here!
Come as you are! Some people dress up, while others feel more at home in casual attire. What matters to us is who you are, not how you look. We are gathering of old-timers and newcomers alike, LGBTQIA+ and straight, single and married, progressive and conservative, old and young, committed Christians and journeying seekers. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome in this place.
Culturally Diverse
Our parish members come from diverse cultural backgrounds and a wide variety of religious traditions within the universal church. Our vision is to be a unified congregation that worships in two languages but otherwise strives to be one in all other aspects of our common life. The Eucharistic Services are offered in both English and Spanish.
