The Holy Cross Office of Vocations announces the launch of a new blog site to facilitate greater awareness of the lives and work of the Priests and Brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross. This launch coincides with the feast of Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C. on January 20th, 2009. Fr. Moreau, who was beatified in September 2007, founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in LeMans, France in 1837. It was the hope of Blessed Basil Moreau to organize his fledgling community to help re-evangelize the Church in the wake of the French Revolution. From its earliest days the Holy Cross community was sent forth to be educators in the faith by founding and serving universities, colleges, high schools, parishes, foreign missions, and various other ministries. Today there are more than 1700 priests, brothers, and seminarians serving the Congregation of Holy Cross in fifteen countries on five continents.
This new blog will serve as a way to introduce the Holy Cross community to those who are just learning about us. It will also allow those who have known Holy Cross for a while to learn about new developments and work happening in the community.
