St. Helena, the mother of Constantine the Great, found the cross that Jesus was crucified on. Her son was converted and ended Christian persecution.
Holy Cross Church
The Holy Cross Parish was established in 1852 and a chapel erected, which the congregation quickly outgrew. In 1854, a new building was constructed and dedicated, but lightning struck this second structure in 1867, and the ensuing fire severely damaged it. The current church was constructed to a design by Henry Engelbert on the site of the damaged building and completed in 1870. It is notable as the oldest building on 42nd Street, in Manhattan.
The parish is especially associated with the popular ministry of the Reverend Francis P. Duffy, as "Father Duffy's Church", after he served as Chaplain of the "Fighting Irish" 69th New York Regiment during WW I.
