Alumni Association
Mission Statement
The Holy Cross Alumni Association supports Alma Mater in its Catholic, Jesuit mission by bringing together the diverse talents, experience, and knowledge of Holy Cross alumni. We accomplish this by engaging alumni for life through our reunions, regional clubs, community outreach and intellectual and spiritual formation programs. By these means, we nurture our love for and dedication to Holy Cross, its students, and its alumni as men and women for others.
