"A particular responsibility ... for each of you,
and your colleagues, is to evoke among the young the desire
for the act of faith, encouraging them to commit themselves
to the ecclesial life that follows from this belief."
-- Pope Benedict XVI
As educators in the faith, Hoban seeks to transform people from within. We teach in order to nurture people who comprehend reality from the perspective of faith. This is an inclusive approach that provides opportunities for students of varied cultural, religious, educational and economic backgrounds.
Integral to this approach is the opportunity for individual and communal spiritual growth. Students are challenged to live up to the ideals of the Catholic faith through a four-year program of religious studies as well as sacramental opportunities, retreats and Christian service.
This spiritual dimension complements the educational process. going beyond instruction that merely transmits knowledge and skills. A Holy Cross education fosters the values, attitudes and behaviors necessary for indiviuals to make a real difference in the world.
