Description:

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in the city of Vologda is a former Roman Catholic church. It was built in 1913. The Church solemnly, in the name of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, consecrated canon Konstantin Budkevich, rector of the Church of St. Catherine in St. Petersburg. Between 1917 and 1922, most Catholics emigrated or were repressed. For uselessness, the temple was simply closed by the Soviet authorities in 1929. And the building of the temple was transferred to the city Club of Young Pioneers. Currently, the temple is a restaurant "Miskolc", the building of the former temple is an architectural monument.

The Catholic community has officially existed since 1862 in Vologda. In 1993, in Vologda, a community of Roman Catholics registered as not having a church at the moment as part of the Archdiocese of the Mother of God, and the community conducts its services in the home chapel.
