"A unique and exciting project..."
The Holy Cross Charism Initiative (HCCI), developed under the auspices of the Holy Cross Institute at St. Edward’s University, is a unique and exciting project. Extensive research on the Holy Cross charism and its practical implications has been significantly lacking. This initiative addresses that through engaging modules which invite educators to explore ways in which the charism of Holy Cross can be informative, formative, and transformative for their interactions with students. I highly recommend the HCCI to Holy Cross educators, staffs, administrators, and board members as a valuable resource for advancing the heritage and mission of Holy Cross education.

"[An] incredible work developed on behalf of the Congregations of Holy Cross"
It is with great enthusiasm that I endorse this incredible work developed on behalf of the Congregations of Holy Cross. Taken together, it takes little imagination to see the value of the Holy Cross Charism Initiative for the formation of Holy Cross educators and students, but also for anyone who participates in the Holy Cross mission. Educators will easily recognize the cross-curricular flexibility of this program and the intrinsic benefits derived from its infusion in the educational and formation programs of Holy Cross schools. Thank you to the Holy Cross Institute for its outstanding work on this project.

"An invaluable resource for Holy Cross tradition and identity"
The Holy Cross Charism Initiative is an invaluable resource for Holy Cross tradition and identity. It's essential for discovering the depth of our vocation as Holy Cross educators. Veteran teachers and especially those new to the Holy Cross family will benefit immensely from this resource.
