The Holy Cross Code

The Holy Cross student is a refined person who lives by faith. Devoted to their souls' welfare, they reflect often on God. Their daily actions are sanctified by prayer, the practice of virtue and Christian piety. Since sanctity is their goal, there is a deep devotion to Our Lord and to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

The Holy Cross students are studious. Learning is regarded as a duty; intellectual perfection as an honor. In the tradition of Father Moreau, students recognize that school is the training ground where useful citizens are molded.

The Holy Cross student is loyal to God and country. Devotion to their school and their teachers is demonstrated by their cooperation, zeal, and spirit. They are friends to all because they are a member of the Body of Christ.

In a word, Holy Cross students are persons of faith and honesty, of strength of character through self-mastery, of respect for the Christian family and lawful authority, of leadership in the pursuit of the true, the good and the beautiful. These are the Holy Cross Students.
