In the aftermath of the French Revolution, a young priest and gifted preacher — Fr. Basil Anthony Moreau — heard a summons from God to form a community of priests and brothers dedicated to the education of youth and the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 years later and in 16 countries around the globe, Holy Cross men are sent forth to serve as educators in the faith for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.
