圣十字社区

圣十字会

To fill the spiritual and educational void of post-revolutionary France, the 圣十字会 was founded at Sainte Croix ("Holy Cross") in 1837 by Blessed Father Basil Anthony Moreau. He envisioned a religious community of priests, 兄弟, and sisters who would assist the diocesan clergy, respond to pressing needs in the church, and educate "both mind and heart,“主要是在学校里, 教区, and in mission territories.

In 1841, Father Moreau sent Father Edward Sorin and six 兄弟 to America. 到1842年末, they arrived in what is now South Bend, 印第安纳州, to begin building the first permanent foundation of the Congregation: The University of Notre Dame du Lac. 从那时起, three Holy Cross congregations of priests, 兄弟, and sisters have founded nine colleges and universities in the United States.

We shall always place education side by side with instruction: the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart. While we prepare useful citizens for society, we shall likewise do our utmost to prepare citizens for heaven.

The 圣十字社区 has ministered for more than 160 years in the United States in 教区, 教育机构, and as chaplains in hospitals, 兵役, 和其他地方. The community seeks to form people whose Christian values guide their lives and who will contribute to the development of a more just society.

King's College and the local 圣十字社区 have worked together for seven decades. 目前，近20“C.S.C.s" (the Community's Latin name is "Congregatio a Sancta Cruce") serve at King's and in the Wyoming Valley, many of whom minister at the College and work locally, residing on campus or in the area. In addition to their roles at the College, the 圣十字社区 members are actively involved in Northeastern Pennsylvania religious, 公民, and service organizations and many also assist at area 教区 on weekends.

In living out our mission as "educators in the faith," we wish to help others to learn the values and the religious meaning of life. We also seek to collaborate with and empower our colleagues, 学生, and others to jo在美国 in this mission.
