Mission: The Holy Cross Institute exists to promote and foster the divinely inspired gift of the charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross by educating the minds and cultivating the hearts of Holy Cross educators, administrators and board members for the mission of Jesus Christ through the transformational work of Catholic education. Vision: As shared practitioners in this work of resurrection, we affirm that through our unity we will contribute to creating a world in which love and justice prevail, never forgetting our vocational call to form and empower our students to be transformational leaders, inspired by the Gospel, bringing hope to the world.Core Values: Trusting in Divine Providence, the Holy Cross Institute is committed to four core values: Building Respect, Educating Hearts and Minds, Being Family, and Bringing Hope. Animated by the Holy Spirit, we work with zeal to make God known, loved and served. Our concern for the dignity of every human being as God's cherished child directs our ministry to BUILD RESPECT by supporting men and women of grace and goodwill everywhere in our efforts to form communities of the coming kingdom. Our educational charism calls us to EDUCATE HEARTS AND MINDS, in unity with the FAMILY of Holy Cross, to form disciples with HOPE to bring. Guiding Principles: Inspired by the teachings of the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., the Holy Cross Institute facilitates dialogue and networking opportunities and provides educational resources and formation programs that transcend cultural differences and guide our individual and collective growth in mission. Recognizing that all mission is meant to be localized, the Holy Cross Institute is designed to educate and facilitate a more profound and contemporary understanding of the Holy Cross charism and mission and their application for permeating them within the context of local Catholic educational ministries.
