Meet Bro. Donard Steffes, CSC, a Holy Cross Brother!

Bro. Donard is not just an ordinary individual. He is 96 years old and still as energetic as a 21-year-old young man.

Bro. Donard has been a Holy Cross educator all his life, traveling around the world to educate hearts and minds. Currently, he is at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas, where he continues his ministry and hobbies.

He is also an athlete, an artist, an amateur ham radio operator, a volunteer for the Red Cross and a man of many talents, which he honed as a Holy Cross Brother.

He is not "just" a Brother. He is a Holy Cross Brother!

This is a short video of his story.

                    Spread your wings. Anchor your soul.

CAMPing with the Brothers

The Brothers of Holy Cross recently hosted for dinner this wonderful group of young women and men from the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) at St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. 

Founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross, an important part of the St. Edward's University mission is providing an academically rigorous education to a culturally, economically and religiously diverse student body.   First offered in 1972, CAMP at St. Edward's is the longest continuously running migrant education program in the nation and has served more than 2,200 migrant students.   In addition to the Star Award, the University's program has been honored by the U.S. Department of Education as a national model and has been recognized by the Association of American Colleges and Universities as a national model for multicultural teaching and learning.   CAMP has made national headlines -- the program was featured in a segment on ABC World News by former migrant worker and journalist John Quiñones.

Join us in praying for these new students as they begin one of the most exciting times of their lives.  May God bless them and their families.

Bringing HOPE to New Orleans

Watch Bro. Nich's newest video as he documents how Holy Cross students from around the United States gathered in New Olreans to bring HOPE to those in need. It was truly a life-changing experience. Join us in our work -- is God calling you to become a brother, priest, or sister in Holy Cross?
