Our Parishes

The first Holy Cross priests were recruited by Blessed Basil Moreau to preach parish missions and assist diocesan clergy in the French countryside. After Father Sorin crossed the Atlantic and settled in Northern Indiana, he ventured out on horseback as a circuit rider to celebrate Mass and the sacraments for Catholics who rarely saw a priest. He founded a number of parishes in the area.

Today, the Indiana Province staffs 16 parishes across the United States and seven more overseas. Parochial ministry and a strong commitment to social justice have always been central elements of the community’s mission.

Holy Cross is particularly invested in parishes with schools and those that serve the poor.
