The Congregation of Holy Cross (C.S.C) is a Roman Catholic International Religious Congregation composed of two distinct societies of religious Brothers and Priests “bound together in one indivisible brotherhood”. We were Founded in 1837 by Father Basil Moreau, anchored in our Charism as Educators in the Faith and our Spirituality: Ave Crux, Spes Unica (Hail the Cross, Our Only Hope) in our ministries of parishes, schools, colleges/ Universities, Holy Cross family ministries, Health Centers and Formation Houses with preferential option to the poor. Educating the Mind and the Heart to give Hope.
What we do...
Called to make God known, loved, and served by bringing the hope of the Gospel to all the world.

A Journey of Grace and Service: “What shall I render to the Lord. (Ps. 116:12)
The Good Shepherd
Our Charism
As Educators in the Faith
We teach the Minds and Hearts of all whom we minister to in our different ministries guided by Zeal: the burning desire to make God known, Loved and Served. This is the particular gift that the Holy Spirit gave the Congregation through our founder, Blessed Basile Moreau, in order to build up the Church and to respond to the needs of the world.
THE MIND: Seeking Understanding through the integration of faith and reason. they also seek to form the minds of young people in institutions and parish ministry preparing good citizens of the world and kingdom of God.
THE HEART: Walking side by side with those we minister to discern our personal vocation in service to the church and the world with the zeal to serve, build faith and give hope.
Our mission sends us across borders of every sort. Often we must make ourselves at home among more than one people or culture, reminding us again that the farther we go in giving the more we stand to receive.
Discern God’s Call
… with a brotherhood serving the Lord Jesus in mission. God raises up men in every generation to serve the Church and the world and so to work for the realization of the kingdom. If you are discerning a vocation as a priest or religious brother, we offer a variety of discernment opportunities to help you hear his call, including retreats, and more!
Form Future Servants: Educate a Seminarian and a Brother
