On Saturday, August 27, the United States Province and Moreau Provinces witnessed two brothers and two seminarians profess their Final Vows in the Congregation of Holy Cross.
INFAM, an apostolic work of Holy Cross Family Ministries, has been celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary “walking with the family” in San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru.
In Canada, Holy Cross has already been working to plan and organize events for the 150th Anniversary of Father Basile Moreau’s death, which is January 20, 2023.
Blessed Basile Moreau dedicated the Family of Holy Cross, including the sisters, brothers, and priests, to Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows. In the words of the Constitutions, "She is our special patroness, a woman who bore much she could not understand and who stood fast. To Her many sons and daughters, whose devotions ought to bring them often to her side, she tells much of this daily cross and its daily hope."
In this spirit, Fr. Luc-Franck Jean Pierre, C.S.C., reflects particularly how Our Lady of Sorrows is precisely also Our Lady of Hope.
