Holy Cross accepted the East Bengal Mission at the request of the Holy See in 1851. Through the zeal and perseverance of the missionaries, the infrastructure of the Church was built and many villages were converted to Christianity.
Today, in the predominantly Muslim country of Bangladesh, the Congregation is known for the exellence of its educational institutions and its solidarity with the poor.

Joseph: He's All of Us

Jonathan Beebe, C.S.C., writes that St. Joseph's "actions speak for themselves. ... We look to St. Joseph as a model of quiet strength and determination, a man who listened to dreams and took risks on behalf of others – a simple instrument in the hands of God."
