What Drew you to Holy Cross? One of the things that really drew me to Holy Cross is the community. The spiritual brotherhood and fatherhood which transcends the day to day life of a Holy Cross Religious.
Favorite Verse: Jesus prays in the garden of Gethsemane, “14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of it. 17 Sanctify them by[d] the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. 19 For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified.” —
Favorite Quote: “You can’t lose your footing when you’re on your knees” -Fulton Sheen
