Voices of Holy Cross: Stories of Hope
Members of the Congregation of Holy Cross and their lay collaborators from all over the world tell stories from their hearts about how the charism and mission of Holy Cross help them to make God known, loved and served from Portland to Bangladesh and lots of places in between. Each 20 minute episode offers vivid glimpses of ordinary men and women doing extraordinary things, "crossing borders of every sort," as the Constitutions of Holy Cross call each of us to do, in the spirit of our founder, Blessed Basil Moreau.
