New at 6 00 a bay area atheist and a National Group that advocates separation of church and state are suing the city of santa clara over this. It is a 14foot granite cross at a cityowned park. It is at the site where an 18th century Catholic Mission once stood. Devin fehely is live for us at Memorial Cross Park in santa clara. Devin. Reporter this cross has been around since 1953 but its only been in recent years that it has become a target of a group who says it has no business being here. The cross in question has stood on the small patch of city owned land at the intersection of de la cruz boulevard and martin avenue for more than 60 years commemorating the spanish Catholic Mission that once graced the site. Its now in the crosshairs of the freedom from Religion Foundation which is suing saying it has no business being on government land. The freedom from Religion Foundation believes that there should not be religious symbols on Government Property as it stands now, that cross is sitting on a city park. Reporter the freedom from Religion Foundation is from madison, wisconsin. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the santa clara resident who says he object to the cross being on public property. The organization wrote a letter to the city as far as as 2012 to have it removed and only filed a lawsuit after the negotiations had apparently stalled. We only get involved when local members contact us about something thats going on in their community. So its not an outside group thats coming in to rile up the community. Reporter officially a spokesman for the city says they havent been served with a lawsuit yet and therefore couldnt comment. But even if the group prevails, its unlikely they will be successful in removing all references to religion from the city. Santa clara is, after all, named after st. Claire, a catholic saint.
