Bangladesh
Bangladesh dates back to the congregation’s founder, Blessed Basile Moreau, who sent missionaries to then East Bengal at the request of the Vatican’s Propaganda Fide. The first missionaries arrived in 1853.
From the beginning, the work of Holy Cross was marked by crosses, yet the Congregation persevered, sending successive generations of missionaries from France and North America. This perseverance bore fruit in the establishment of the local Church and the evangelization of the tribal peoples.
Today Holy Cross is known throughout the country for its work in education, including the predominantly Muslim nation’s only Catholic university.

Our Lady of Sorrows
Br. Victor Bikash D'Rozario, C.S.C., a member of the St. Joseph Province, relates his experience of coming to know our Mother, Mary, and how she always "takes my side" in moments of "agony, hardship, pain, and discomfort."
