The Holy Cross Church[1] (Finnish: Pyhän ristin kirkko, Swedish: Heliga korsets kyrka) is the name given to a religious building affiliated with the Catholic Church and is located in the city of Tampere,[2] Finland.[3] It offers religious services as the Mass in different languages (Finnish, Polish and English) in order to meet the different nationalities that make up the congregation.
The Catholic parish of Tampere was formally established on September 3, 1957. Masses were held for the first time in Hotel Tammer, later in Emmaus.
The congregation got its own church on November 22, 1969, being dedicated to the Holy Cross, and blessed with a parish hall, a presbytery, and other venues.
