Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, had a vision to educate both the minds and hearts of students to grow in Christ’s love and to use their gifts to make the world a better place. Holy Cross and Christian Education outlines the five powerful elements that uniquely define a Holy Cross education.

Moreau’s vision has inspired the pursuit of academic excellence within a familial atmosphere that bonds students, faculty, staff, and alumni.

- Mind—seeking understanding through the integration of faith and reason;
- Heart—discerning our personal vocation in service to the Church and world;
- Zeal—fueling the desire to offer our gifts for the good of all people;
- Family—embracing Christian community as the context for lifelong formation; and
- Hope—trusting in the cross and God’s promise of the kingdom.
