Holy Cross is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Birmingham in Alabama, serving Catholics in and around Albertville, a city in Marshall County. The parish takes its dedication from the Holy Cross, the wooden cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified, one of the central symbols of the Christian faith and the instrument of humanity's redemption according to Catholic teaching.

Located in a predominantly rural and small-town area of northeastern Alabama, Holy Cross ministers to a Catholic community within the Diocese of Birmingham, which encompasses the north-central portion of the state. No confirmed founding date is documented in available sources, though the parish's presence reflects the broader growth of Catholic communities in Marshall County over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

The parish's online presence is currently linked to that of a nearby parish community, and available public records do not provide extensive detail on its clergy, founding history, or governance structure.
