    About this ebook

    Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C., founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, had a vision to educate both the minds and hearts of students to grow in Christ’s love and to use their gifts to make the world a better place. Holy Cross and Christian Education outlines the five powerful elements that uniquely define a Holy Cross education.

    Fr. Moreau made his vision for a Holy Cross education clear: “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.”

    From elementary schools in Uganda and secondary schools in Bangladesh to four highly ranked universities and colleges in the United States, Fr. Moreau’s vision has inspired the pursuit of academic excellence within a familial atmosphere that bonds students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Drawing from his voluminous writings, Holy Cross and Christian Education highlights the five elements that continue to shape the pedagogy of Holy Cross educational institutions around the globe:

    Mind—seeking understanding through the integration of faith and reason;
    Heart—discerning our personal vocation in service to the Church and world;
    Zeal—fueling the desire to offer our gifts for the good of all people;
    Family—embracing Christian community as the context for lifelong formation; and
    Hope—trusting in the cross and God’s promise of the kingdom.

    This concise and accessible introduction articulates a compelling vision of education that encompasses a person’s natural human development and moral formation with the call to Christian discipleship. It also includes a timeline of Fr. Moreau’s life and the history of the Congregation, prayers, and suggestions for additional reading.

    James B. King C.S.C.

    Rev. James B. King, C.S.C., religious superior of Holy Cross priests and brothers at Notre Dame, is a trustee and fellow of the University. As superior, Fr. King has ministerial responsibility for the nearly 80 Holy Cross religious at Notre Dame. Before his appointment to that position in 2010, he had served for seven years as rector of the Sorin College residence hall. A native of Chicago, Fr. King was graduated from Notre Dame in 1981, entered Moreau Seminary, and earned a master of divinity degree from the University in 1987. Ordained a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross the following year, he spent two years as an assistant rector and freshman seminar instructor at Notre Dame before leaving for the University of Wisconsin, where he earned a master’s degree in political science in 1992. He served for five years at the University of Portland as a history instructor, rector, assistant director in the alumni office and for one year as director of Portland’s foreign study program in Salzburg, Austria. He returned to Notre Dame in 1997 and served as director of vocations for the Indiana Province of Holy Cross from 1997 to 2005. Father King has also served as the associate director of the Holy Cross Mission Center, which supports the Congregation’s work overseas, and as the director of campus ministry at the University of Notre Dame. He also is the author of Known by Name: Inside the Halls of Notre Dame, an autobiographical account of his ministry to Notre Dame students.
