Mission of Holy Cross

As disciples of Jesus we stand side by side with all people...Thus, wherever through its superiors the congregation sends us we go as educators in the faith to those whose lot we share...Christ has anointed us to bring good news to to the poor, release for prisoners, sight for the blind, restoration for every broken victim...We stand with the poor and afflicted, because only from there can we appeal as Jesus did for the conversion and deliverance of all.

For many of us in Holy Cross, mission expresses itself in education of youth in schools, colleges and universities. For others, our mission as educators takes place in parishes and other ministries. And, as in every work of our missions, we find that we stand to learn much from those whom we are called to teach.

Vision of the Holy Cross Brothers

The vision of the Brothers of Holy Cross is one of sacred unity living the blessing of diversity.  We are brothers.  We belong to a global community/family of ordained confreres, vowed sisters and associates, gathered in local communities to live the Gospel values. We are educators in the faith. We are men with hope to bring. 

The guiding vision and charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross is to witness church to the Church. The religious family is modeled after the collegiality found among the first Christians: each using his/her gift to the glory of God in community, prayer and loving service to God’s people and proclaiming the Good News of our Lord and brother, Jesus, the Christ.
