The Catholic Intellectual Tradition at University of Holy Cross

The Mission of University of Holy Cross is that of the Marianite Sisters: to serve God and the community. University of Holy Cross serves God and the community as a beacon of the Catholic Intellectual Tradition. This tradition is catholic, encompassing all peoples seeking Truth. Because it is a tradition, persons communicate, interact, and share experiences over time and through cultures. Finally, this catholic tradition strives for intellectual excellence—knowing what can be known through desire, honesty, and integrity. This tradition has included great theologians, scientists, artists, writers, teachers, and philosophers. It also arises in everyday teaching and learning from person to person, parent to child, and educator to student. University of Holy Cross embraces this excellence, which flows from the Catholic Intellectual Tradition.
