AVE CRUX

AVE CRUX is our quarterly magazine that provides information about our men, our mission, and our seminary programs. We mail it out to all of those who are in contact with our office, but you can also check out the current issue as well as back issues on-line.

Books

A great way to dive deeper into the Holy Cross spirituality and tradition is through the series of reflection books our priests and brothers have put together. This series of books connects you to root of who we are and what we do as Holy Cross religious.

Vocations Curriculum

To Make God Known, Loved and Served is a vocation curriculum offered as a free download. The intent is to provide these resources to grade school teachers and catechists to assist them in their efforts to help students come to a deeper appreciation of the Church's vision of vocation. It is the hope that engaging this curriculum the students themselves will begin to consider God's call in their own life.

Resources for Discernment Groups

These guides were developed to provide structure for a discernment group at the High School or College level.  They could also be used in a parish setting. There are three manuals with 12 sections in each one.  The first manual covers topics related to general discernment, the second discernment to the priesthood, and the third delves into discernment with Holy Cross specifically.
