Congregation of Holy Cross
“Our mission sends us across borders of every sort. Often we must make ourselves at home among more than one people or culture, reminding us again that the farther we go in giving the more we stand to receive.” (Constitution 2.17)
The Congregation’s general administration is headquartered in Rome, and its Superior General is the Very Rev. Hugh W. Cleary, C.S.C., re-elected to a second six-year term in July 2004. Responsibility for the administration of religious houses and the apostolic works of the community is largely entrusted to 11 provinces, three vicariates, and seven districts covering the following countries: Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Ghana, Haiti, India, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Peru, Philippines, Tanzania, Uganda, and the United States.
The Congregation of Holy Cross is organized into provinces, vicariates,and districts. Besides the brothers and priests who serve within this structure, the spirituality and influence of the Holy Cross tradition is also transmitted widely by sisters who are members of groups that have their roots in the work of Blessed Basil Moreau.
