We are the Brothers of Holy Cross. As a Christ-centered community, we challenge ourselves daily to see the world through God's eyes, rather than through our own eyes. Working from God's perspective, our vision is:
  • to create an atmosphere of respect for, and acceptance of, all people.
  • to assist others in discovering and developing their unique gifts.
  • to use our individual and collective skills to help others lead more productive lives.
  • to be educators in the faith to people around the world, particularly those who are poor and oppressed.
In accordance with this vision, Holy Cross Brothers minister as:
  • teachers/professors/faculty
  • counselors
  • social workers
  • attorneys
  • pastoral ministers
  • workers in boys' homes
  • school and hospital administrators
  • workers in soup kitchens
  • physicians
  • parish ministers
  • nurses
  • missionaries
  • hospital chaplains
  • college presidents
Holy Cross Brothers are united with each other and with Holy Cross Sisters and Priests by:
  • celebrating daily Eucharist.
  • individual prayer and the common Prayers of the Eucharist.
  • serving God through our community living and sharing of our gifts and goods with each other and those to whom we minister.
  • the Congregation of Holy Cross is unique in that it is made up
    of two distinct societies:
    Brothers of Holy Cross and Priests of Holy Cross.
    Equality exists between the two societies.
