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. |
