Many rich cultures come together in Morgan City; (1) the Cajun Culture of South Louisiana; (2) the Italian Culture and; (3) the cosmopolitan atmosphere provided by the many oil related workers who have made Morgan City their home. The gifts of these cultures are celebrated and shared in the community of Holy Cross. Founded during Vatican II, the leadership has tried to form the parish into "the people made one with the unity of the Father, the Son and the Holy "Spirit." Holy Cross exists for one reason: To continue the mission of Jesus to bring all to the knowledge of and union with His Father.
