St. Edward's
University
St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas is an independent Catholic
university founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross. Its
early roots go back to 1878. The Mission Statement of St.
Edward's reveals distinguishing characteristics: "the courage
to take risks, an international perspective, and the commitment
to provide educational opportunities for students of varied cultural,
religious, educational, and economic backgrounds."
St. Edward's expresses its Catholic identity by communicating
the dignity of the human person as created in the image of God,
by stressing the obligation of all people to pursue a more just
world, and by providing opportunities for religious studies and
participation to campus ministry.
Work
in Brazil
The Brothers of Holy Cross district in Brazil has two main ministries.
In 1951 the Brothers assumed the direction of Colegio Dom Amando
which is located in the interior of Brazil, in the city of Santarem,
Para, which is five hundred miles up the Amazon River. The
other school is located in the more progressive south, in Campinas,
Sao Paulo. Besides working in these two schools, we have
Brothers who are Pastoral Agents and work in/for the diocese in
social work among the less privileged. We also have Brothers
in parish work in collaboration with the Holy Cross Priests from
Canada, and Brothers working in vocation promotion and formation
of Brazilians that desire to enter the Congregation of Holy Cross.
