At Holy Cross, we take the development of the whole person very seriously. Spiritual development is an essential part of human development, and we provide plenty of opportunities to assist and challenge you. Join us in exploring the Ignatian idea that we can "find God in all things."

Return to Me: Lenten Reflections from Holy Cross
This year the College of the Holy Cross is excited to offer a daily Lenten reflection booklet, “Return to Me: Lenten Reflections from Holy Cross.” This resource is designed for use during the holy season of Lent by all interested members of the Holy Cross community: students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. It will contain reflections written by a wide variety of people with connections to the College — professors, current students, chaplains, staff, and alumni. We are hopeful that many members of the Holy Cross community will want to take advantage of this resource. "Return to Me" will be offered as a daily digital reflection series. Those who subscribe will be sent an email each morning containing a reflection, and the listing of sacred texts from Scripture for each day of Lent. Learn more and sign up now »
