Reflections on Mission

“It was at my first Table meeting that I started to understand the connectedness of Holy Cross Schools. I recognized immediately — family — and had a feeling of being part of a larger whole. That feeling has grown over the years by taking part in each mission seminar. I have watched this feeling spread among the students as they participate in the immersion projects and the leadership workshops. The excitement and action is intoxicating, and I believe that our schools truly represent family.”

“As important as mission is, it is not designed to be applied like spray paint, covering all the nuances that fashion a particular school into what it has become by its history. There is a mutual formation that takes place between the mission and the personality of the school. How does mission find unique expression at the school? People. The people associated with the school — what they believe and the intensity with which they believe it and what they do and the integrity with which they do it — constitute the primary ways in which the mission is expressed.”
