BuildingOver the main door of the church is the motto {{Lang|la|O Crux ave, spes unica}} (Hail to the cross, our only hope) - a line from the ancient Latin hymn Vexilla Regis Prodeunt. The inside of the church is adorned with important statues, a wooden carved altar, and gold leaf wrought iron railings. The stained windows also depict important Catholic Saints, and each window was donated by a parishioner. HistoryThe original church celebrated its first mass on September 14, 1924. The parishioners were largely of French Canadian heritage; after some early controversy over the name of the church, by 1926 the French name Église Sainte-Croix was adopted and the membership became almost entirely French American, as the Irish-American members joined St. Patrick's Church.[1][2] A new church was constructed after World War II, and an extensive renovation was completed in 1985.[3] Many marriages took place at Holy Cross Church and a recent book was written by Youville Labonté which relates to the genealogy involved.[4] FacilitiesThe Catholic Church of Lewiston has a library of some 3,500 items.[5] References1. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xcVGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=svMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=2136%2C2618875 "Church named for date of first mass"], The Lewiston Journal, Jun 21, 1985, pp. 21-22. 2. ^Larry Poitras, "Survivance: A Franco-American Obsession", Je me souviens (Journal of the American-French Genealogical Society), vol. 13, no. 2, Winter 1990 , pp. 39-40. 3. ^[https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=xcVGAAAAIBAJ&sjid=svMMAAAAIBAJ&pg=1969%2C2613575 "Holy Cross Church/Sainte-Croix Re-dedication"], The Lewiston Journal, Jun 21, 1985 (special supplement section). 4. ^{{cite web|url=https://openlibrary.org/subjects/holy_cross_(church_:_lewiston_me.)|title=holy cross (church : lewiston me.) - Open Library|first=|last=OpenLibrary.org|website=openlibrary.org}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.princeofpeace.me/index.cfm?load=page&page=296|title=Parish Library|website=Prince of Peace Catholic Community}} External links
