圣十字教堂.S.C.)，由拉丁语翻译而来，意思是 圣十字会. 为什么是“圣十字”?? In French, it is Sainte Croix, the small French town outside Le Mans where 牧师. 巴兹尔·莫罗，C.S.C., founded a community of Roman Catholic priests and brothers in 1837 to minister to and educate the people of France devastated by the French 牧师olution.
The Cross soon became an integral part of the 会众’s spirituality. Fr. Moreau exhorted his religious to conform themselves to Christ by trusting in Divine Providence. He encouraged them to find hope in the Cross of self-emptying love, to stand by others as the Mother of Sorrows stood by her son. 出于这个原因, he dedicated the entire 会众 to Our Lady of Sorrows, 称她为守护神. 教会的座右铭是圣歌, spe Unica, 意思是“向十字架欢呼”, Our Only Hope”—calling on the community to “learn how even the Cross can be borne as a gift” and to bring this hope to others.
Fr. Moreau envisioned his young 会众 as a family brought together in Eucharistic fellowship united in a common mission to educate and evangelize. This missionary zeal “to make God known, 爱, and served” is why Fr. Moreau, just five years after founding the 会众, sent six brothers and a young 牧师. 爱德华·索林，C.S.C.到“新世界”.“这, 当然, led to the establishment of the 会众’s first educational institution in America and one of the world’s most renowned Catholic higher education institutions—the 电竞赌博平台.
Fr. Moreau called on his priests and brothers to be “educators in the faith,在教育中, 教区, 任务设置 会众 会很快在世界各地建立起来吗.
“We shall always place education side by side with instruction; the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. 同时为社会培养有用的公民, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven.”
牧师. 巴兹尔·莫罗，C.S.C.1849年第36号通函
从教会成立之初, Holy Cross priests and brothers have always lived side by side with students, demonstrating the rewards of living a faith-filled life. Fr. Sorin established this model at 电竞赌博平台 and it lies at the heart of the student experience. Whether it’s lending a listening ear after an evening residence hall Mass, 讲授课程, 或在大学担任其他职务, the priests and brothers of Holy Cross are living out Fr. 莫罗今天的愿景, 175年后, "使神为人所知, 爱, 并“以使徒的热忱”服事, bringing hope to the entire 电竞赌博平台 community and beyond!
