Essentials of a Lay Associate

Being an Associate is a “calling”

A Holy Cross Associate is a person who feels a calling to live according to the ideals, spirit and charisms of the Congregation of Holy Cross.  The Associate is called to embrace the heritage and charisms of Holy Cross and commits to live them out everyday, in their work, their ministry and their daily life.  Associates form relationships with each other and with vowed religious colleagues through association and sharing in the spirituality, hospitality, mission and family spirit of Holy Cross.
