Holy Cross Charism
by Joel Giallanza
   

 
 
“What distinguishes Holy Cross …
 

... the structure which Father Moreau built into it - three equal societies of men and women, lay and ordained religious – and most especially the interdependence that he insisted mark all the relationships among them.”
 

Joel speaks to the
 Holy Cross Charism
 as made up of three inseparable components
Providence: The presence and activity of God among and around us.
Community: It is a witness that we give. It is essential to our apostolic life.
Cross: “It stands as the choicest of all gifts, the clear demonstration of God’s love for us, and the means through which we are transformed into the living likeness of Jesus.”
 
Holy Cross Motto
Full motto of Holy Cross
"Ave Crux, Spes Unica!" or "Hail the Cross, our Only Hope!"
Crossed anchors symbolize hope - our true and sole hope is in the Cross
