The Roman Catholic Parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Czech: Římskokatolická farnost Povýšení svatého Kříže) is Roman Catholic parish in Prostějov, Moravia. The exact year of foundation of the parish is not known. It is estimated the period before 1200. Parish unites Catholic believers in Prostějov and cares for their spiritual needs.
The first known spiritual administrator in the history of the parish was Jakub (first mentioned in 1383). In 1391 there was founded augustinian monastery by Peter of Kravare. All churches in Prostějov were transferred to the authority of the new monastery. The monastery was burned by Hussites in 1430. Augustinians and other Catholic burghers fled to Olomouc. Parish was led by Hussite and Protestant priests since 1522 to recatholization in 1622.[1]
