Moreau was a man ahead of his times. He saw a need and responded.
He sent Holy Cross Brothers, Sisters and Priests as missionaries across the world shortly after the order was founded in 1830.
The University of Notre Dame was established by Holy Cross.
Moreau sent his sisters, the Marianites of Holy Cross and the Holy Cross Brothers to New Orleans in 1841 to care for the orphans
at St. mary's Orphanage in the 9th Ward. They have ministered continuously in Louisiana for more than 150 years.
The Congregation of Holy Cross has grown to include members
in Africa, India, Bangladesh, Haiti and South America. There is an international session in Lemans, France each year
to study the spirit of the Founder.
Moreau was
a man of faith. He wanted his followers to incarnate the love and compassion of Jesus. He believed in zeal for
the mission and hospitality to all by creating a family spirit.
Blessed Moreau, founder, educator and friend of the poor, Pray for Us.
