In 1837, Father Basil Anthony Moreau founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in response to the educational and spiritual needs arising from the aftermath of the French Revolution. Father Moreau intended that this association would promote the spiritual perfection of its members, sanctify others by preaching the Divine Word in all places in the world, and provide Christian education by being educators in the faith.
“We heard a summons to give over our lives in a more explicit way. It was a call to serve all people, believers and unbelievers alike. We would serve them out of our own faith that the Lord had loved us and died for us and risen for us and that He offers us a share in his life, a life more powerful and enduring than any sin or death.” – Constitution 1:3
“There will not be a single member of our association who will not make a personal contribution according to strength, intellectual ability and particular aptitudes … all the while this activity of the individual will help the community, and the activity of the community will, in turn help each individual. Joys and sorrows will be mutual.”
– Blessed Basil Moreau, Circular Letter 65
