Who we are

Founded by a group of dedicated and devote Christians seeking to protect the tradition and beliefs they held so dear, Holy Cross met for a time in people’s houses. Till, one day, by the hand of providence we found a homing in an apt home, an historic one room schoolhouse. Forty year later, we continue our mission of providing a home to those who value the beauty of their traditions, long for solid scriptural teaching, and long for a deeper spiritual experience. We strive for a spiritual relationship with God, and greater community between ourselves and the greater Rochester Area.

Our rector is Fr. Thomas Stone. Father Tom teaches at a local college and has served for years at as a lay leader at All Saints Anglican Church, till he and his family came over to Holy Cross. From then has been a devoted member of our community, culminating when he accepted a calling to the diaconate, being ordained one June 10 2017. Since then has has continued his training till he was ordained as a priest on August 18 2018. He was installed as our rector on June 30, 2019.
