Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Blessed Basil Moreau | Catholic
Did you know that January is "Holy Cross Heritage Month" here in the United States? The inaugural Holy Cross Heritage Month was launched last year by the Congregation of Holy Cross’ U.S. Province of Priests and Brothers to celebrate the incredible family of Holy Cross, a family of which Holy Cross Family Ministries is a proud member and an important part. From local parishes to missions and schools around the globe, the Congregation of Holy Cross has built an incredible legacy of faith, hope, and service over its nearly two-hundred-year history. But beyond the beautiful schools and universities (with some pretty outstanding football programs — Go Irish!), the vibrant parishes, and the diverse ministries serving the needy around the world, you might be wondering: what exactly is the Congregation of Holy Cross, and what is the story behind the heritage we’re celebrating?

Blessed Basil Moreau | Book Review | Living the Faith
Moreau: Portrait of a Founder paints a vivid image of the life, times, and struggles of Blessed Basil Moreau and his efforts to form the Congregation of Holy Cross. The merits of this biography lie in the extensive use of primary sources from the time, in particular Blessed Moreau’s own writings, whether letters, published articles, homilies, or other such sources. The use of these sources provides a rich look into the mind of Moreau and his development spiritually. The adept narration of Fr. Barrosse, C.S.C. provides the necessary context, both historically and culturally, to better understand Blessed Moreau, while also letting Moreau speak for himself.
