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.
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.
Join us in mission to make God Known, loved and served
And so is the strength for it. We turn to Him in prayer that He will clasp us more firmly to Himself and use our hands and wits to do the work that only He can do. Then our work itself becomes a prayer: a service that speaks to the Lord who works through us.
"Our zeal is always guided by charity. Everything is done with strength and gentleness."
We are an apostolic religious congregation composed of two distinct societies of religious Brothers and Priests, “bound together in one indivisible brotherhood”.
The Congregation of Holy Cross is an International Congregation with its headquarters in Rome, Italy and actively ministering in France, USA, Canada, India, Bangladesh, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.
