Holy Cross Cathedral Lagos

Very lovely cathedral. The main church building is of very high standard. I attended Mass there twice and the liturgy was well observed. The choir makes the liturgy a pleasure to partake in.
This is the seat of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Lagos Archdiocese

Great Gothic architecture in the heart of Lagos Island. Wonderful history attached to the Afro Brazilians and French priests originally holding masses. Intriguing historical timeline.

It was constructed circa 1932–1934/36 and was designed by Afro-Brazilians of the Brazilian Quarters or Popo Aguda. Builders included Afro-Brazilians and some French priests of the SMA. It’s designed in the French Gothic style of architecture and features pinnacles, foils, arches, smaller chapels dedicated to different saints in the Roman Catholic history and intriguing stained glass windows.

if you look very well, you’d find a stained glass window donated by Candido da Rocha, Lagos’ first recorded millionaire. if you look more closely, you’d find a gift from Governor Moloney for the healing of his daughter.

I am a time conscious person and the Cathedral do more on time, they don't do too much offering like the others do. In there you don't know who his who until you mix up. In fact know Dowling moments in the Church, when you are there you must go home filled with the word and experience God each day. God bless the Administrator.

This is home to ALL Catholics. The Mother Church in Lagos Archdiocese. A good place to pray and meditate.
The physical structure is a beautiful Gothic style architectural masterpiece any day built since 1939 and it is still looking new every day. A good tourist attraction. A visit to Lagos will be incomplete without visiting the Holy Cross Cathedral at the heart of Lagos Island.
God bless our chief shepherd, the clergy, religious and lay faithful of Lagos Archdiocese forever more!

This cathedral is an edifice. The compound is clean all the time. The choir are great.
Lastly, the clinic is open for anyone that needs medical attention.
Holy Cross Cathedral is worth visiting

Quiet environment with big screens for projection, cooling AC effect. But the compound is too small to match its status as there is no parking space.

Neat environment and the church is organised
